I have that Spring feeling.

I don't know why I have taken so long to blog this shoot I did with Tahlia, Leisa and Haute & Clara late Winter/Spring last year in 2012. When I picked up an SLR camera for the first time and started shooting - I wanted to go out to a beautiful field with gorgeous long grass and shoot into the sunset. It took me almost two years to finally have the chance. However this time, it was not a field - it was a sneaky section on the side of a quiet road down past Wollongong. And it was definitely not the warm sunset - it was freezing cold end of winter / start of spring sunrise! We were so rugged up!! We also have a saying for our early morning shoots - "WHO'S IDEA WAS IT TO GET UP THIS EARLY?" It's a little joke Tahlia and I have with each other when we roll out of bed and first see each other in the morning at 5.30am.

The purpose of this shoot was to collaborate with Haute & Clara (stylist and blogger), Tahlia (model) & Leisa Stephenson (MUA/Hair) and shoot some warm tone shots for Get Frocked, Show Pony & Constantina & Louise ponchos! Tahlia has that gorgeous boho look to her with her gorgeous long brown hair, beautiful olive skin and chocolate brown eyes. Of course I can't forget the the amazing work of Leisa who delicately placed each bead around Tahlia's eyes - she's always on point with her execution. Chloe made each head piece - some simple plain colours and others entwined with different colours/textures of rope.

A big thank you to Sonya (Tahlia's mum & my future mother in law =]) and Justin who were up at the crack of dawn helping out with all things wardrobe, reflectors, power cords, attention to the minor details out of focus etc. You guys are fab and always such a huge help. Thank you.

Here are some photos. Before you scroll through - just know that I am absolutely obsessed with black and white images. So when I edit, I may edit the colour version and then have to see what it looks like in BW. Therefore you may see BW versions below - because I just couldn't choose.

 

 

 Hope you liked them :) Love SAS xx
