Black Cake Couture Head Pieces

When I read a lovely post about Black Cake yesterday, I realised that I had not shared the shoot on my blog- so here is the shoot I did with the Couture Head Piece brand! Black Cake is a Couture Headpiece brand that began in late 2012. I was lucky enough to be the first…

The Ruins

  This is one of my favourite locations for portfolio and test shoots. Ashleigh B (model), Kirsty Williams (makeup) and I all met at this location a little while ago to photograph Ashleigh’s Model Portfolio.     Here are some of my favourite images:         Ashleigh was a stunning model to work…

Winter Baked

I am missing lookposts with Baked The Blog as much as her readers are and decided to post one of our latest lookposts which is so fitting for this wintery weather we are having.   We went to the Topshop launch at the V&A Waterfront last month and had tons of fun in their new…

Autumn Forest

This is a portfolio/test shoot that I photographed on a warm Autumn evening. As you all know, I love the forest at this time- the lighting, the colours- everything. I have been showing alot of commercial photoshoots this month and am going to post a few more personal shoots I have done. Many people who…

Forever Vogue

This photoshoot was done for a final year fashion design graduate’s portfolio. We were lucky enough to shoot at this amazing location- thanks Caitlin. The clothing and styling was done by Kate Maclennan, makeup by Helen Becker of MAC and the model was the talented, Leah Wicks. A recent chat to a friend reminded me…

90’s Suburbia

  I love the shoot I did with Gabi from The Dollhouse Collection titled “90’s Suburbia“. This story was about a bored, rich teenager in the 90’s causing trouble in her hood as Gabi would say- “a bad-ass bitch”.     Our model, Courtney, was absolutely amazing! Her make up was done by Megan Moses…

Vintage Vixen

  I collaborated with LoneFolk quite some time ago to create this vintage story and, today I am feeling for some vintage living so I thought I would post about this shoot that I didn’t blog about on my old blog.     This shoot was another “day in the life” themed shoot. This was…

Big Dreams, Big Changes

After attending the Elle Magazine Rising Star 2013 event I got some great feedback from the best of the best in the blogger world about my blog. I am completely and utterly inspired by all the lovely people around me and, although the fashion industry can be difficult, mean, back stabbing (the list goes on),…

Ebby Weyime

I recently photographed Ebby Weyime, a Kenyan model who was in Cape Town for season with Grace Models. Helen Becker from MAC did Ebby’s makeup. We went for a soft look and added some bright lips towards the end of the shoot.   Ebby was such a lovely model to work with, I was not…

Leisure Lifestyle

I photographed a swimsuit inspired shoot alongside model- Salome (D&A models), Cleopatra Swimwear and makeup artist/stylist – Gaynor Ingham. We had a stunning location for the shoot – thank you Kirst – and beautiful weather! The idea for this shoot was to photograph a model lounging around the pool. We sped through the shoot as…

Acid Bloom

Working with Gabi from The Dollhouse Clothing is always guaranteed fun! She is one of my favourite stylists to work with and together, with Megan Moses Makeup Artistry, we always create something totally OTT and edgy. Acid Bloom was a shoot we did for her clothing line as well as Old Street Clothing located in…

Winter Fields

Due to popular demand I am posting another one of my favourite Baked the Blog Lookposts. This is a more recent one that we photographed for a winter look. I am obsessed with this field location especially in the late afternoon (which is when we photographed this lookpost.) Aisha and I always have such fun…
