If you have read my other blogs you will know I am a massive fan of REN Clean Skincare. I love their products and the ethos of their brand, from the ingredients they use to trying to help eliminate plastic waste on this amazing planet we all live on. What's not to love about working towards clean healthy skin and a clean healthy planet. Their latest edition to the Radiance Glow Range is the Radiance Glow Daily Vitamin C Gel Cream. Whilst we may be in the middle of the winter months as I am writing this blog, I am here to help you prep and be ready for that sun I'm sure we're all dreaming of. This...

Last week I got the chance to have a play with a brand I've never used before, Diego Dalla Palma, so I've decided to write a short review of I felt about each piece too share with you. I was super excited to dive into the products from this company as I know they are reputed for being the intersection between scientific expertise and modern Italian glamour. This along with being a brand that is certified free from animal testing I thought what could there possibly be not to love. Overall whilst not everything was to my liking, a lot of it was and I'm excited to use the products more in the future! Geisha...

Feeling inspired this week by a quote I wanted to share with you all by Edgar Allan Poe, from his poem 'A Dream Within A Dream': "All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream" I felt this was a fitting thought to ponder on whilst I show you these pensive shots of some dreamy make-up. These shots were taken in Staithes, North Yorkshire and the make-up I have created was influenced by a 1960's vibe. I used one of my all time favourite products in my kit which is the  Ariane Poole Ultimate Face Tint  to really add to the model's already gorgeous complexion to give it a glowing flawless...

2019 has started and we are already now in the 3rd week of January already, I've been busy getting stuck into a new year of exciting and creative work. My latest and first piece I wanted to share with you this year is my work on some looks with award winning hairdresser Marcus King of King and I. To create the looks for these images I wanted to keep the focus on a very natural appearance as it was all about hair that Marcus has created for this photoshoot. One of the images for example I wanted to really showcase the models natural freckles and have caught some behind the scenes showcasing me using...

It's Christmas Eve and 2018 is soon coming to a close so I wanted to share with you a set of gorgeous images from one of my last bits of work this year. However first I wanted to take a moment to reflect on how grateful I am for the work I have had the opportunity to be part of in the last 12 months. To have graced the pages of beautiful magazines such as Jules B, Belle Bridal, La Di Da and Unveiled. To have participated in workshops talks, demos in the UK sharing and doing work to support the wonderful charity the Teenage Cancer Trust. I have been so lucky to travel working fashion shows...

Last week I was so excited to receive a parcel in the post from the amazing company REN Skincare. As soon as it arrived I eagerly opened the box to take a look at what delightful products they had sent me to use on some of my major up and coming photo shoots in my diary. I have been using REN Skincare for many years and often have found myself highly recommending it to my clients, models and the I've worked with celebrities through out my career.  What is really significant to me and a lot of the people I recommend them to is the ethos of the brand which is all about saying 'no to harsh...

Here are some images from a shoot I worked at the Newcastle Intu Metrocentre for with Dutch designer clothing company G-Star Raw last weekend. The brand is well know for specialising in iconic denim pieces. For this shoot celebrating the opening of their new store at the Intu Metrocentre the models wore jumpsuits of a classic industrial work uniform style reinterpreted in a creative contemporary way. Therefore I opted to go for a light natural makeup on the models, keeping them looking soft and fresh faced whilst allowing the spotlight to remain on the clothes. Full Credit to the team Models:...
