Floating free, this photoshoot for Sunday Girl Magazine issue 11 is capturing an unrestrained attitude, a sense of freedom. With an edgy modern punk makeup style to boot, I'll leave you with these words to reflect on, a poem by Percy Bysshe Shelley that the magazine aptly paired with these images.
Higher still and higher
From the earth thou springest
Like a cloud of fire;
The blue deep thou wingest,
And singing still dost soar, and
soaring ever singest
In the golden lightning
Of the sunken sun,
O'er which clouds are
bright'ning,
Thou dost float and run;
Like an unbodied joy whose

Having worked with Belle Bridal for many years now, it was so wonderful to be part of this celebration with them as they release Issue 26, a 250+ page special commemorating 25 years of serving up epic wedding inspiration. Featuring their biggest ever bridal beauty edit, these editorial shoots are arguably some of their most beautiful to date.
The brief for this shoot was an absolute dream for me, ticking all the boxes what I love to do most. Glowing editorial skin, with those three words I immediately pictured the look and what I'd need from my kit to bring the magic to life. The main emphasis...

I'm so excited to share this blog with you as it was recently released that this shoot I worked on was submitted in Foreign Look Magazine!
Other than the brows being courtesy of some WBCo Soap Brow of course, this is a full SUQQU makeup and skincare look. I don't think I will ever get over how good their blushers look in person and in print. Of course their Aquafons skincare range too is the perfect prep to get the skin ready for some seriously close up shots. Complimenting the tones of the blush is a peachy glossy lip with a blurred edge for that dewy soft effect.

Another equinox inspired shoot from a few weeks back, as summer slipped into autumn END wanted to bring you a women's wardrobe refresh fit for the new season. Titled 'Best in Show' you best believe I brought my A game with the make-up to deliver END the uber natural look they love. Want to know more about how I achieve that minimalist glowing look? You can read it about it here and even find out about booking time with me to learn more!
For this particular campaign I picked WBCo to keep the skincare fresh and light with brows that are groomed to perfection. Then a touch of Ariane Poole's complexion...

A brief but bold blog today to showcase some of my latest work with Vigour Magazine. It was a great opportunity to have some fun meeting new like minded creatives on this collaboration shoot 'Be In 5'.
Captured in the early hours of the morning back at the start of spring, I love the way the photographer Stef Mic captured model Megan Sison evoking the feeling of freshness in the air that day. Styled by Sally Minns with assistant Keeley Hoggins on board, this shoot is giving chic, fresh and effortless vibes against the backdrop of the wonderful city of Newcastle.
This week I'm sharing with you my work with END. to mark the 35th anniversary of the Air Max 1. They were celebrating in style with the 'La Ville-Lumière' release especially for the anniversary and had me on board to create a look for the shoot. They had asked for a soft matte skin base which was perfect play off the harsh urban environment and the energy of these effervescent pastel sneakers.
It was nice to mix things up after playing with a lot of glow and shine in my work lately, so I was excited I got to do a more neutral matte effect. I achieved this by prepping the skin with a delicate...
If you're equal parts into fitness and fashion, you might have already seen that back in January END released the Work Out Edit. This is a super cool showcase of their women's wear workout selection that was tailor made to help you kick of the new year in the fitness industry's finest and I loved being part of it.
It may be February now but lets keep 2022 going in style and comfort with some of these pieces that bring together the best of the modern and the retro. They have an eclectic mix of styles for what ever kind of exercise you want, for you to feel your best whilst performing your best....
Natasha and Luqman lit up North Yorkshire with glitz and glamour, when you find out their wedding was planned in just three months you wouldn't of believed it. The day was filled with style with Natasha herself donning Vivienne Westwood and Jimmy Choo, whilst her mum opted for the best mother of the bride outfit I think I've yet to see topped with a Valerie Millinery hat. I would guess that they may well have been some of Grantley Hall's finest dressed guests to date.
For a fabulous day filled with fashion, jazz bands, fireworks and most importantly love it was important Natasha's make-up look...
