January 1st is often a day of interspection for a lot of us, as we consider our new years resolutions and personal goals for the coming 12 months. For me stepping in to 2024 I've been reflecting on a chance encounter that occurred late last year (isn't that weird saying that already!) that really left a lasting positive impression on my work to come. One of my favourite publications Sunday Girl held an incredible event bustling with other business women sharing their talents, and that's where I met Aisha of Write Yourself Well. As I sat and listened to her performance her artistry instantly resonated...
It's Christmas, and what better way to celebrate than by sharing one of the most joyful wedding mornings I've had in a while?
After an early morning driving along single track lanes and idyllic winding roads I reached the picturesque location for Kirsty and Gav's wedding nestled in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales. Set in converted race horse stables, The Saddle Room in Leyburn is delightfully unique venue and the onsite cottage the couple were staying in was the perfect location for their wedding morning as they kicked the day off in full celebratory swing.

My latest work with QP Jewellers was for the AW23 collection, and one thing about working on campaigns is how funny to be preparing for seasons you're not in! This shoot took place some months ago yet we spent the day getting into the Christmas spirit even though the days were still long and warm. However its finally the perfect time to share it now as the festive season is well and truly upon us.
Leaning in to the Christmas theme it was all about luxury for the looks on set, so I gave the models a full luxe experience using all SUQQU products to amp up the opulent energy. There's a real...

Missing balmy autumn beach days? This Emma Hedley Jewellery campaign is ready to transport you to warmer days as the temperatures continue to drop this December.
That being said, this shoot actually took place on such a wild and windy day that we spent our time battling the elements with a smile and a laugh on the sand dunes of South Shields. You wouldn't know as photographer Claire Collinson captured incredible moments that look so blissful despite the weather, whilst the incredible model Hannah Shaw was effortlessly cool in the face of strong gusts. It's a real testament to the team that...

A pinch me moment, something I could have only dreamt of back in lockdown when I was working hard developing the Jo Leversuch Makeup Brush Collection, my brushes are now stocked in store at Wolf & Badger! It's so surreal to head into a brick and motar shop and see my brushes on display. Online shopping may be king these days as it's so convenient, but there's a certain joy about heading out for a day of moseying around shops and to find what sparks joy first hand that can never be beaten.
That's exactly the experience you'll have at Wolf & Badger's Coal Drops Yard...
Introducing you to the Lost Girls, where are they going? No-one knows, not even them. A free spirited editiorial by Sunday Girl Magazine the energy of this shoot was unreal, the models were incredible in embodying the wild and carefree 'lost girls' energy bringing the styling and makeup to life.
My brief was all about recreating the look living outside, using cheeks flushed with colour from the elements and skin glistening from the rays of the sun. Each model got their own shade to rosy their cheeks and give them their own personalised lost look. Using the Precision Colour Pencils...

It's a distant memory now, but I wont ever forget about staying at The Hiveaway in Wales earlier this year. As the seasons change and I yearn for a cosy little get away, I can't help but reminisce and think about how perfect this place would be for a lot of my brides for some kind of mini moon get away, or even a break from the stress of planning pre-wedding! Getting some rest before the big day does do wonders for the skin afterall.
Me and my partner stayed in The Hyde cabin which is incredible and remincent of a beehive with all the hexagonal shapes. On arrival we took the road through...
