You might recall me blogging back in the spring about an incredible British Brand where local seamstresses create sustainable linens, Freya Lillie. That's because we were looking behind the scenes on location at their AW21 shoot, which has now been published in Flanelle Magazine just in time for us to get in the autumnal spirit! You can get a glimpse of their latest line of luxury linens that are made to order and fit your body like a glove. Whilst these may be an Autumn release, the gorgeous breathable fabrics are wardrobe staples for all year round. It was my first time using some new Stila...

The smallest wedding in the world... Okay I might be exaggerating but when Covid restrictions were still hitting weddings hard not so long ago, illustrators Francis and Nick decided to tie the knot just them and two friends! A four person ceremony, what a lovely intimate way to really make the moment special.     Just because it was a little ceremony doesn't mean Francis couldn't go big on somethings! Her bouquet by Willow and Bear Floral Design was an explosion of colour and texture with such a playful variety of gorgeous blooms it really did make for a lovely piece for our little...

Dare I even mention Autumn Winter 2021 clothing? I know we haven't even had our great British summer of freedom we're all hoping for yet, but over on location with Freya Lillie we're getting a head start on crunchy leaves and sweater weather for a shoot featuring their AW21 range.  Obviously, I'm not gonna be showcasing the collection for them, the professional images will be released when they're launching the line in August. However it's such a thrill to be back at work that I was excited to show you these behind the scenes sneak peaks we took and chat to you about trying out some latest...

Another week sharing some fresh kicks with you, this time in the form of the hotly anticipated Nike revamp of the iconic Air Huarache OG to mark 30 years of Tinker Hatfield's iconic running style. World famous among sneakerheads the Scream Green colourway deserved my signature perfected skin treatment to keep that focus on the classic minimalist silhouette that's dripping in 90's vibes. As the client wanted to keep the skin looking fresh and clear I opted to prep the skin with Shiseido's oil free range. Their Waso Oil Free products are ideal for creating a completely matte finish on the skin...

I have had so many proud moments in my career but this has well and truly hit the top of my list. Over the years I have used and adored Soap Brow whilst I watched West Barn Co, the family run business that produces it, grow from strength to strength.

For this shoot I was hired by WBCo as they wanted to update their website and social media with some new and exciting products which will be launching soon. Being part of this team and this...

This week's blog is something super fun, it's so cool to look back over at the final product now it's been released. Recently I joined the team over at END. for a shoot paying homage to the phoenix-like resurgence of the OG Nike Dunk throughout 2020. They've opted to use a yearbook style format to cast each pair in a manner that emulates the varisty nostalgia they so deserve as the 'Class of 2020'. After all 35 years in the making this franchise is still going from strength to strength continuing its legacy and the rich culture behind them. For me my task was to work along side the production...
