Collaboration with Fern Blevins

This shoot has been a long time coming.. the longest of them all! Back when we were still in school, and in the very first days of my love for photography, Fern asked me if I would be up for collaborating with her and photographing this beautiful Edwardian dress she had created for her A-Level project. Of course, I said yes, but as busy schedules, university and other things crept up on us, the shoot ended up never happening.. until now!

With perfect timing, we got in contact again through Facebook this year and booked a date in, and shot amongst the biggest, brightest patch of flowers I'd ever seen in the blazing sunshine. It was a real honour to shoot this beautiful dress that Fern had spent so many hours over, and I couldn't be happier with the way everything came together.
 

And as always, a little BTS action!

Victoria

So here we go.. the last shoot I managed to fit in before my wedding!  These are the kind of images I want to shoot forever, and I am too excited for words to start shooting more editorial and fashion themed work this year. Next week's task: shoot planning!

Modelling for this shoot was the beautiful actress Victoria Emslie, who you may recognise from this previous shoot of mine! I always love working with her and her look was just perfect for what I had in mind. I also collaborated with the talented Jemma Grace for the first time here and I can't wait to work with her again - she did an incredible job with the make up and hair and I couldn't be happier.

I've been a busy lady since I've been back and have a self-portrait series and a period costume shoot on the way soon.. keep your eyes peeled!

Actress: Victoria Emslie
Hair & make up: Jemma Grace
Styling: Myself
