Shoots always feel more gratifying when there's a deep background story and this united creative venture delivers just that. The Unity Collection is a collaboration of BeadWORKS in Northern Kenya and their European partners Sara Collins and Xenia von Poser.

Simplicity at its finiest, I always enjoy working on the Gold Boutique shoots as I really resonate with the paired back feel they go for in the makeup brief. I created this look for their summer 2022 campaign, but I'm reviving it for Autumn 2023 because its got the perfect tonal cappuccino vibe to suit whats trending this season.

Having secretly got married the day before...

A poignant note to consider as we step into a fresh...

I loved the trip to the Scottish Borders to be part of Caroline & Shea's wedding. Held in the beautiful Chirnside/ Kelso area, this part of the country never fails to impress me and makes for an idyllic wedding day backdrop. With the weather blessing the lovely couple with a warm glorious day the countryside setting truly came to life under the warm glow of the sun. A private wedding took place on the family farm where I endeavoured to replicate the aforementioned glow from the sunshine in Caroline's bridal make-up. It was important to Caroline her look was in keeping with the outdoor location...
