Chloe

We had such an amazing team working on the photoshoot last week in Ibiza, Kellie hairstyling and Nadias make up skills were superb. We were also lucky enough to work with fabulous models, Louisa, Chloe, Sam, Katie and Mike. 


This Blog features Chloe, who has minimal modelling experience and was actually a little nervous and unsure of how to pose - now this is pretty much true of everyone I photograph, but I want you to see how many different looks we achieved and how many poses - this was due to us working together , a little coaching and also using fashion magazines as inspiration - I would love my clients to come to me with their own ideas of how they want to look, just as I used to do when I went to the hairdresser....not sure if I ever did suit that Lady Diana look though!


Nadia from Beautify Ibiza use make up which complimented Chloes fair skin and blonde hair - she was able to achieve a number of different styles, from daytime to more glamorous and dramatic evening looks and Kelly from Stylistic Hair Ibiza matched the hair styles to the make up and the outfits. 

I do love a before and after shot!!!!!!

This was the hair and make up style for the bridal shoot on the beach - as you can see it works just as well for a contemporary portrait style too 

The amazing Kaftans were kindly supplied by Katie at Boho Ibiza Villas

I love this one - it really shows off Nadias amazing make up - and I soooo want to wear those eyelashes!

And these highlight Kellies skill at being able to create so many different hairstyles to perfectly compliment the outfits and the make up. I hope that you do click on these pictures to see them much bigger!


If you are considering booking a photoshoot with me either here or somewhere a little more sunny....then always remember, want to work with you to achieve the look that you want - come to me with ideas, rip pages out of magazines and lets see what we can do - and please please consider having hair and make up done before your shoot, or I can arrange that for you - it makes such a difference to the way you feel on the day - a bit of pampering is always good !!!


And if you are planning Wedding in Ibiza then please contact the girls - they have packages available for you and your bridesmaids to make your day even more special 

Love in the sunshine

Yes I know....more blogging about Ibiza...are you getting the idea that I had a good time!?!? 
The absolute best thing about last week was the teamwork, people came along just to help out friends and be part of the day and this is particularly true of Ruth and Frey, a gorgeous couple who live on the island. Ruth volunteered to come along to work with Nadia who is the make up artist, to showcase her work. 


...and I got the chance to spend time with a couple who just love each other so much, and it shows


Click on the pictures to see them in all their gorgeousness

Thank you so much to Ruth and Frey for just being so lovely.

Petticoats and gorgeous girls!

 Morning....Happy Easter - yep I know Easter is over but I had a rare day off yesterday and so am playing catch up today!




Now I know that I have shown some of these images before but what the heck - thought they were good enough to share again!
The amazing Petticoats are made by Andrea who runs Petticoats- a Plenty - she is based in Liverpool but has plans to take over the world and I truly believe that she has the skill, drive and determination to do just that. She is quite a character and I have actually persuaded her to have a shoot done in her own outfits and so watch this space. So these images are from a couple of recent photoshoots showing the amazing Wedding Dresses that Andrea is now able to offer - teamed with her Petticoats. The reaction from all the girls who modelled for the shoot was the same - they did not want to take the dresses off - I think they would have worn them around Tescos if we had let them!


Thank you so much to our amazing models - Sukki Singapora, Ruby Heels, Heather Marie McHale and Dayna Leahey


Andreas website is http://www.petticoatsaplenty.com/. If you are looking for something different for a Wedding Dress, Prom dress or just to wander around Tescos in then give Andrea a shout.

Lisa

Meet Lisa.... she wanted to have some photographs taken for no other reason than to have some time out and a little pampering. So we arranged a make up artist - the fabulous Jenni Hearnshaw, chatted about outfits and she came along to my little studio for the afternoon.


Now I have known Lisa for a while, I know she is an obsessive Manchester United supporter ( I won't hold this against her!) , and I also know just how nervous she was having her photograph taken but it was wonderful to see how she relaxed while she was having her hair and make up done and by the time I started taking photographs she was really excited


We aimed to get some strong, classic style portraits for her - she is getting some framed for her family and we also wanted some boudoir images ..... which we did but they are for her eyes only I am afraid....let me just say that she loved these ones too - and so did Lisas Boyfriend!

So , heres the end result of a very fun afternoon - I love doing shoots like this , I love to see women and girls of all ages be confident in front of the camera and I love tat it is a team effort - that my clients have a say in what they want to wear and how they want to be portrayed.


If you want to experience a shoot like this - it maybe for a specific occasion, a Birthday or other Milestone in your life or just because you too want to have some time out and some pampering then please give me a call. I also have the most beautiful Gift Vouchers if you know of someone who would love this, it would be great for a Best Friends shoot, or Mum and Daughter too.


Hope you love Lisas pictures, click on them if you would like to see them even bigger ....and if you do would you leave a little message so that I know you have popped by xxx
