Backstage: A Diary of Summer

I had a wonderful shoot on Tuesday with my lovely, talented Alicia Mew MakeUp and my crazy little stylist Shu Han Kelly Huang in Ruislip Lido. Our models were the lovelyAnya Avonrims from Profile Model Management and Emma Frances Hodgson from MandP Models. Anna has the most amazing porcelain skin and the craziest curly red hair with the biggest deep blue eyes I have seen in a while. Emma is only 15 and has the greatest body with the loveliest hair.

We had a "last days of summer" shoot and it indeed was. We chased ducks with wind in our hair and sunshine in our breath.We danced in the lake and rolled around in sand. It was a gorgeous day. We all travelled to a distant magical land across the water.We climbed onto fences, shooed nasty giant spiders, ran into the lake...As I was dipping my feet in water with my skirt pulled up Emma was bravely laying in it and I was digging my toes into the wet sand as the girls were running splashing water everywhere.

We drank cups and cups of hot chocolate and asked a drunk stranger who turned out to be a photographer to take a picture of us at the end of the day. We were worn out but our smiles were still glued to our faces.

Thank you everyone for a wonderful shoot and being such troopers. x
