Next on the menu

The shoot with Psychomoda the other week was an experience with all of us dashing all over Edinburgh for hair, makeup and then the shoot itself, lots of hurrying up and waiting, as is always the case with any big shoot. The results are looking great, but sadly have to remain in the dark for now, until the designer is ready to present them properly. Still, the year doesn't end with February's shoots, onwards I go.
 
Saturday sees me covering a christening in Greenock, so back to bread and butter photography with a lovely family and their newest addition.
 
Sunday I'm back in the studio. The studio shoot was originally planned around 1 idea, but due to cirumstances has veered into a whole new direction. With the help of Lesley from Head Strong Solutions, who I've had the good fortune to work with before, Alison of Crikey Aphrodite, and Helen, our MUA, we'll be creating a fabulous look with the model involved. Hopefully I'll have some pics from this shoot to share during the course of next week.
 
On Monday I have a press pass to the GSA fashion show. I really enjoyed this show last year and managed to find a corner to take lots of pictures from. This year I get to do it officially. Tickets for the show are still available and it's on on Monday and Tuesday, so worth going to if you can make it. Some of the designers from last year went on to show at London Fashion Week recently, so there's a lot of talent to be found.
 
The week after I'm off to visit my friend, Karen Reid, a milliner based in Melrose, to have a chat and discuss future plans, picking up a wedding dress for another shoot and then assisting a colleague with his shoot on the Sunday.
 
Anyway, hope everybody's having as productive a time as I am!

Karen Reid Designs at the Maplehurst Guesthouse

A trip into the borders and Galashiels found me emerging at the MaplehurstGuesthouse. This beautifully crafted gem of a location was to play host to a shoot with Karen Reid and her hats and fascinators.
Karen had arranged hair and 1 of the makeup artists and I had brought along Emma Motion as our other makeup artist. She had also arranged the shoot, booked the models and done all the groundwork and planning. It made for a fairly unstressed shoot for me, as all I had to do was turn up and shoot.
 
The 4 models, Fifi, Fiona, Sally and Ruth each had distinctive looks and after being pinned, clipped and tucked into various bridal and occasional dresses they were adorned with Karen's wonderful creations.
 
 
We shot inside the house and out in the gardens and I'm very happy with the early results. We all turned into pumpkins by 6pm and ran away home. Just under 14 hours with travel time. Some shoots are just worth the effort!

Perfectly Petite Press again

Thanks to Alex Raynbird and her colleagues, we got a big mention in the Glasgow Guardian, the student paper for Glasgow University. This goes back to the Perfectly Petite shoot last November again. This time with little mini interviews of me, the hairstylist, one of the three makeup artists and a couple of the models involved. I'm now off to Glasgow to hand back some of the clothes and the amazing JB Millinery hats and am hoping to snaffle a copy of the paper while passing.
