dashing...


I'll always adore weddings and will forever love to shoot them but it's always a lovely treat when I get to try other things.. so when I got an email from a certain lovely lady, London Bride.. asking if I'd like to do a shoot for a new project I was in.
The lovely Charley has teamed up with the equally lovely Fanni (from Fubu Media) and Josie (from Savoir Weddings) to do a wonderfully ambitious and downright amazing new online magazine 'Dashing' with the tagline 'an inspirational magazine for the stylish and spirited girl'. It launched on December 1st and I'll be honest.. I couldn't be prouder of everyone who was involved. To see all of us doing what we love, working hard, thinking of an idea and seeing it through.. and doing it so bloody brilliantly.. it makes me smile lots. I'm actually not a huge reader of magazines as I've never found one that ticked enough boxes for the kind of things I'm in to or like to read about.. but I'll be honest.. Dashing hits all the right nails on their heads.. within two minutes I had ear marked a pair of shoes and even Pete was reading it!
Girls.. you totally nailed it and thank you so much for asking me to be a part of the first issue... I can't wait for the next one!
You can devour the first issue here which includes my 'Sixties in the city' shoot and a little interview with me too!!
Here a few of my favourite images from the shoot.. a huge thank you also to the incredible Elbie for the fabulous hair and make-up and the stunning Alana Hillenaar for modelling.. :)

from our hearts...

Back in September the From Our Hearts' girls (Anna Hardy, Debs Ivelja, Joanna Brown and me)... headed down to Jo's beautiful cottage in West Sussex for a few days of R&R... armed with our cameras we had the most beautiful day in Arundel, finding the most amazing antique shop with one room fit to bursting with cameras... we walked along the beach, me and Jo went horseriding (no photos of that thankfully!).. and then spent the rest of the time sat in our pj's or sitting in the garden eating scrummy food and drinking wine. These girls mean the world to me.. we haven't know each other very long but we love each other dearly and seem to know each other pretty well by now.. they are a constant huge support and often make me laugh so much that I cry... they're a bloody talented bunch too and I'm so proud of each of them..



















We all went a bit mad in the camera shop and I bought myself a little Coronet 120 Cadet for a tenner and I've just got my first film back and I'm pretty chuffed with the results... :)
