It was just a couple weeks ago I was writting here to share with you Laura's dreamy and delicate wedding make-up, how I achieved it and what Laura had to say about it! You can go take a peek at that here for more of the make-up details if you like. Alternatively I am here to share with you that if you want to see more from their ravishing celebrations, those details are now gracing Belle Bridal readers with the ultimate inspiration over on their website here!

If you have known me long enough or followed my work at all you will know two things, my love of Steamcream and Japanese beauty products. Maybe a third thing being my love of tea but that had its moment two weeks a go on the blog! This week I'm focusing on talking about Steamcream, after all it has been one of the most constant parts of my kit for 8 years now. As years go by other moisturising products come and go but nothing has beaten it yet, it is really one of my absolute must have products!
That's why you can imagine my utter delight when a package arrived in the post...

If you hadn't guessed already, it's another behind the scenes blog to show a day in the life of Jo on location, longside some of the stunning released images too. This time I'm with Ruby and Oscar for their latest summer collection - Colour Pop!
I always look forward to it when the opportunity comes up to work with Ruby and Oscar, I've been lucky enough to have done a couple campaigns...
The sun might be gracing us with plenty of its presence lately, but it certainly wasn't for this Gold Boutique summer shoot back in the end of April! Out on location in the hip area of Newcastle, luckily for us the Ouseburn boasts some super cool graffiti filled arches and walkways that perfectly reflect the intended vibe for the final images. They offered an amazing backdrop and some refuge from the heavens opening before heading to the studio for some close-ups.
When I was considering the make-up I looked over the moodboards I was sent and really felt instantly inspired by the street style...
I met Phoebe Lorenz on another film set a little while back and I can still remember now the excitement when she started to tell me all about a film she was fundraising for asked me to be part the team. Well now the time has finally come where I can share with you the official trailer for that short film!

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...
After finishing another show season earlier this year I landed back in the UK reeling with inspiration and excitement. Luckily for me that coincided with an opportunity to work with some new make-up I'd yet to try. I teamed up with coveted photographer Lee Scullion to put brush to skin and dip into my creative energy with a handful of new Shiseido products.
We wanted to create a photo set with japanese influences full of spirit that captured the essence of the moment with a warm and soft focus on the eyes as the windows to the soul. Beauty Modé is the crossroads where spirituality meets cosmetic...
