Dresses through the maze

Just imagining how amazing it be to explore the mazes and photograph beautiful models in stunning gowns. This BHLDN shoot has totally got me inspired.

Eileen Kirby SS12 Collection

A few weeks ago I posted some behind the scenes photos of the Eileen Kirby SS12 shoot (here) but today I get to share with you her beautiful new collection inspired by inspired by 'aristocratic ballerinas.' The collection embodies royal glamour featuring 'lace bustiers, flouncing layered dresses, tulle skirts, deluxe satins, silk chiffons, layers of soft sheer fabrics, beautifully composed ruffle dresses, and a hypnotic display of luxe jewelled dresses with beads and sequins and glorious collars.' The full collection can be viewed on the Eileen Kirby website collections page.

'A Faery's Song' Summerblossom shoot

I feel incredibly privileged to have been the photographer for the Summerblossom's SS 11/12 shoot, 'A Faery's Song.' I can't thank Rochelle the designer of Summerblossom enough for believing in me and allowing me to capture her gorgeous hair piece collection. Thank you to a great team too, I had so much fun with everyone. Some of my favourite photos from the shoot are below with many more which can be seen on the Summerblossom facebook page here. Rochelle also put together a lookbook accompanied by a beautiful story... All the beautiful pieces are available to buy online now on the Summerblossom's website.

Picnic and Fields

I instantly fell in love with this 'picnic and fields' engagement shoot captured by Jenny Sun Photography as soon as I saw it. The muted colours are so soft, beautiful and dreamy. All I can say is that Jenny is an unbelievable talent and is one of my favourite Australian photographers. She just launched her new website and blog this week so go and check it out.
