Photo day with Elly Lucas

Just over two weeks ago I travelled up to Derby to meet the wonderful Elly Lucas for a photo day - my first shoot of 2012 too! Armed with bags full of clothes (and excitement!), we drove up to a location full of beautiful heather and scenery and spent hours nerding out and taking pictures. I can't thank her enough for not only driving us all that way but also for modelling bare footed in the freezing cold at my request also!

I absolutely cannot wait to pass my driving test and get out there and discover more locations like this - it really was amazing fun and I could have been there for days capturing everything I wanted to shoot.

And finally here are my favourite pictures she took of me! To see the rest of her pictures from the day and to read her thoughts on it, head on over to her lovely blog post HERE.

So finally here we have it - the first part of my crazy freezing cold two-shoot day back at the beginning of December (part one HERE) The two shoots thing came about after I found out that this shoot would have to be cut short by an hour or two, so I figured I'd make the most of my train ticket and organise another shoot to go to afterwards. Frantic but ever so much fun, as always!

And finally, because a shoot blog isn't a shoot blog without a little bit of behind the scenes stuff.. here we go!

My last shoot of last year.. but not the last to come yet! I'm currently under a bit of a self-imposed ban on organising shoots until I've gotten through my retouch pile, but luckily I've managed to whittle it down to one shoot and one photo day left to finish, so I'll soon be back in the swing of things (especially now I've been treating myself to a bit of prop-buying, eek!)

This shoot was a bit of a challenge to organise but great fun nonetheless - it ended up being one of two shoots in a day which is something I've never been brave (or silly) enough to do before. I owe the biggest of thank you's to Siobhan, who stood with me through both shoots and worked throughout the freezing cold and blustery wind!
