Front Cover for Life in Haslemere Magazine...Christmas has come early...

Woo! I'm delighted to share another front cover for Life in Haslemere Magazine...The Christmas edition too which makes it especially exciting. To find out more visit: http://issuu.com/lifemags/docs/lih37

I especially loved how this shoot came together, helped by a fantastic team who brought ideas to life.... Without such a team such shoots would lack a certain magic. I owe huge thanks in big beautiful bundles to the creative team behind this shoot which required military organisation to fit 5 locations into limited time to evoke the fairytale of Princess Vassilissa and The Firebird.

Fashion designer Ruan Kitchener (now a designer for House of Holland) worked in close collaboration as we meticulously planned the day and styling of outfits using his swoon worthy dresses from his graduation project. We searched high and low for a model who had the perfect fit to emulate the dreamy woodland fairytale and Ruan's collection. We ended our quest after we found Alice M at Sapphires Model Management. She was faultless. 

Then there is a certain magic which I can't put into words but wait for ...sometimes patiently....sometimes it takes a while for it to happen...but boom once captured it forms the soul behind the image. One of my greatest inspirations Sarah Moon translates this searching so eloquently here: 



I'm a believer that real magic exists in photography...let's keep the magic alive... LOVE x

I'm in LOVE...with my new sample albums...

Well I'm just a teeny bit smitten with a little parcel that arrived recently...with great excitement I can share my new sample albums. I am totally head over heels in love with them. I'm a stickler for unfussy modern design and I'm thrilled to have found an album company that also share these qualities. These lovely albums were made by FOLIO albums www.folioalbums.com

Apart from being delicious eye candy and truly luscious to the touch, there are lots more reasons to love these albums... With admiration overload here are a few reasons to warm to them...they are made in Great Britain using fine art archival matte paper....  The print quality and clarity is exquisite, and as the albums lie flat, designs can be spread across the centre fold without cracking or discolouration...  The colour range is modern and the loveliest I've come across. To top all of this, their sustainable manufacturing practices give them greener than green credentials. 

Wedding albums are a beautiful way to express and capture the story of your wedding day. I love how they convey the journey of the day, expressing the mood of what it felt like to be there...so when dipped in to can transport the beholder to relive those special moments, the colour, loved ones, significant details and ambiance. They make wonderful heirlooms too. If you would like a see and a feel of  these beauties do get in touch! LOVE x
