Model Shots - Naomi

I don't know where to start, writing about Naomi.

Her first proper shoot and she absolutely nailed it. She was really positive and excited about the shoot throughout, even when a group of school boys latched onto us in pursuit of her phone number. She was still focussed and pulled off some ace shots despite them hassling her slightly out of frame.

It was also one of those times when I knew absolutely that we were reading from the same page, we had the same ideas about poses and looks and it took next to no direction to get exactly the shots I had in mind and some that exceeded my expectations. She worked really well with the backdrop, totally getting the mood that it called for and settling into shots really quickly when we changed locations. She gave me so much to work with, from the very first frame. Look, you get the picture - it was amazing and in my opinion she's a natural talent as well as being a lovely girl with a cracking sense of humour (and the same pair of shoes as me.) So, enough waffle - it's time for the photos!

Fashion Preview - AIRR Clothing

Today I have once again been shooting with AIRR Clothing in Wirksworth. We were treated to some beautiful blue skies and the clothes seem to get more gorgeous with every shoot. I was also really delighted to get the chance to work with our models Colin and Charmaine again.

Sneak Peek! Stolen Thunder fashion shoot

This was the third time I've worked with Stolen Thunder and it was another great shoot! We were lucky enough to have Bethany back with us again as well as the chance to work with Charlotte, who was making her modelling debut.

Both of them did an amazing job and the girls at Stolen Thunder HQ were awesome as ever.

You may remember the work I did with Stolen Thunder and Kayla Hadlington. 
Here's a little slideshow of some of the pictures from that shoot:




Created with flickr slideshow from softsea.


It was great fun and when the girls from Stolen Thunder asked me to do another shoot with them for their Spring/Summer collection, I jumped at the chance! 


When it came to casting a model for the shoot we searched for quite some time before I came across Bethany. I had a good feeling about her from the start and I wasn't at all disappointed when she was in front of the camera.


























Now, I must dash. I have an engagement shoot and a trip to the park this afternoon! Can't wait!

Fashion Photography - Stolen Thunder & Kayla Hadlington

It's time I said a few words about my recent shoot with Stolen Thunder jewellery and fashion blogger extraordinaire Kayla Hadlington.




I have always been lucky enough to work with some fantastic people and the Stolen Thunder shoot was no exception. The girls from Stolen Thunder have blogged about it here, complete with behind the scenes pictures!

I am utterly in love with the Stolen Thunder jewellery and can't tell you how thrilled I am to see my work on their website.

Some of my favourite pieces include the Little boy and dog brooch, the incredible coral jersery strand scarves, the Pardon My French ring and all of the pieces they designed for Marina and the Diamonds, especially this ring.

Last but not least I have to say a few words about Kayla. What a star! It was her first time modelling but you couldn't tell at all. In total we got through about 50 pieces of jewellery but Kayla managed to make every single shot special, despite us freezing her half to death with the wind machine. She's a remarkable young woman and fantastic to work with. I really hope we can work together again soon!

Kayla has various blogs you can reach from her lookbook which are all well worth a look. She's even been featured in a book of fashion bloggers.
