Pregnancy Part 2

Here's a few more images from my pregnancy shoot.

Pregnancy Shoot

As I'm a photographer that has done self portraits in the past, I knew that I wanted to do my own maternity photos as soon as I found out I was pregnant! Unfortunately being 35 weeks pregnant makes things a little more complicated in the self portrait world and I needed alot more help than I would usually have! This shoot is more of a collaboration than a straight forward self portait shoot, a collaboration between me and my lovely fiance! He's a freelance film maker who likes to dabble in the world of photography, you can see some of his work here:

Another thing I knew I wanted for my shoot was a little bit of pampering, which really made a change as I'm usually the one waiting for the models to be made up! Sarah Vaites is responsible for making me feel like a million dollars today and you can view her work here;

Here are a few of the images that were shot, I'll do another blog post once I've edited the rest of the images! I hope you like them! :)

Alys Power Design

Way back in June last year, on a very, very hot day in Nottingham we had a little studio shoot! :)

Prior to this shoot I met Alys at a craft fair in West Bridgford, I instantly fell in love with her jewellery, it's so original and unique! It's all hand crafted from vintage and precious materials which she finds at car boots and vintage fairs. I subsequently took a trip over to her studio and borrowed some of my favourite pieces for a fashion shoot! Upon seeing the results Alys asked me to take some photos for her and here is the result....

There's so much amazing stuff on her website, and she accepts commisions so get over there and grab yourself a unique, feminine, vintage, fun necklace, bracelet or ring!

Lhoryn

This is Lhoryn, local part time model. We decided to get togther, along with awesome MUA Emma Grant to create some nice head and shoulders shots on various themes. Unfortunately we only had an hour to shoot as Lhoryn had to rush off the work at the last minute. So we were only able to get two looks in. This first one is 50's glamour inspired. More will be coming soon...

 

Alternative Graduation!

Hello! It's 2012 and even though I have other shoots still to blog from last year I couldn't resist kicking off the New Year (yes, I know we're in week 2 now) with something really rather amusing! One of my friends asked me if I could recreate her graduation photo, it'd been lost in the post I think and her parents and grandparents were most disappointed. So she trundled up from London with a specially rented gown and I shot her new graduation photo! Of course, since I shot these in my living room my boyfriend and I couldn't resist having a go as well, along with some household items (a uke should be in every house). So I present to you Erin Gallagher's Alternative Graduation... along with Phil Formby's and me... well... I've never graduated so I didn't know what to do...

Kismet Rose Accessories

These are some images I did for Hayley Rose at Kismet Rose Accessories! Keeping the shots nice and simple again with a black background (as the brand colours are black and White) and some pretty models; Jamie Deacon and Louise Rusthworth. Check out Hayley's accessories at www.kismetroseaccessories.com

Designer - Siobhan Noon

Here are the photographs I did for local designer Siobhan Noon's graduate collection! I wanted to keep the shots simple because there is so much detail in the clothing. As you can see the outfits are inspired by origami, so I decided to sit with my boyfriend the night before the shoot and make lots of paper cranes, which I then hung from the ceiling! The triangular hair was done by Ayesha Caunt-Buonocore, make-up by Natalie Fox and the young lady throwing the shapes is Shannen Varney! It's all about angles in this shoot!

Rhea Clements Jewellery.

From the same shoot as the previous post but I thought it should have it's own 5 mins of fame, these are Rhea Clements faux leather jewllery! Isn't it lovely!
