Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

So what’s the only thing a photographer can do when it snows, grab a willing, model, daughter, art student who is prepared to with stand freezing temperatures for the sake of her mothers creative side. So armed with various props, a willing bag holding assistant we braved the local woods on day 2 of our snow fall  in Surrey.  Thankfully for Jaz it was a little quieter as most of the kids has got their kicks the previous day.

Just a few shots from our mini session, and don’t worry she did have a heavy coat within arms reach, and jeans on under the skirt…… I’m not that cruel   ;)

Prom night

It feels like an age since I have posted anything, it’s been a really manic couple of weeks.  Lots and lots of commercial work which I can’t share here unfortunately. I’ve turned another year older ( feels like about 10!) and my eldest daughter has left school and had her prom.

After weeks of planning the day finally arrived. I thought my heart was going to burst when I saw her  and she was all dressed and ready to go, I’m sure every mum has that moment where they just can’t believe that the last 16 years has flown by. I’m so proud of her.

All the girlies looked amazing, and Jaz’s date J looked especially handsome.  Thank you so much Caroline for allowing us all to invade your house while they got ready, what a star.

I also have to say that it’s not easy to work as make-up artist, hairdresser, photographer and mother all at once ;)))

Curly fries !!!!

I got to spend a couple of hours with the gorgeous Z yesterday evening. Such a natural to shoot despite a few nerves.  We stayed very close to home to use what was on the door step and try and create something with an urban twist. 

The only problem with staying so close to home (rare for me these days) was that there were plenty of young on lookers even though I had timed the shoot for when everything was shut, who were far to interested with what was going on!!

Not my usual style of processing but I think the x-processing on these works on these. I love it when I get the chance to play and teenagers are  up  for most things, I’m already thinking about locations and ideas for our next session as I really want to take advantage of the dancer in Z, note the ballet shoes !

Z, I hope you enjoy these.

Sweet 16

My eldest J turned 16 yesterday, another of those milestone birthday’s that make me feel just a little bit older ;)  I can’t get over the fact that it feels like yesterday  she was still a baby. 

We all wanted to give her something she could keep and remember,  as a surprise she was treated to a trip to Tiffany & Co, I wish I had brought my camera as her eyes really did light up !
