Rebekka of Bek Bek Makes got in touch to book a shoot for her UV Resin Kits after being so happy with her images from earlier in the year.

This time, the brief was to create a desk scene which was bright and airy with a limited colour palette of lilacs and a hint of mint. Rebekka sent over her own lilac crate and I styled the rest with existing props. You can see a reel from behind the scenes here. 

The final photos capture Bek Bek Makes brand perfectly with a lovely fun and fresh vibe.

Last April, I was waiting on a date for major emergency* surgery so it seemed like a good time to convince David that we should buy a vintage caravan. It would be the perfect distraction, I said, and in my defence planning the project most definitely was. There did, however, turn out to be a lot more work involved than I imagined, so here we are - well over a year later - and it’s finally finished!

The previous owners had started doing up our wee 1985 caravan, so we don’t have an original photo of how it would have looked, sadly. We decided we wanted to have a proper mattress for comfort and so we wouldn’t have the faff of rearranging cushions and making the bed each night. With a 4 foot mattress making up the bed/lounging area, this left just enough space for a dining section in the middle. We also decided to take out the shower as the original tray was badly damaged and there was damp in the cubicle, instead we just have a cassette toilet and little sink. We were very lucky with the kitchen; the original fridge, oven and hob all work perfectly!

My Mum and Dad gave me a pair of Enamel Happy cups for my birthday before we bought the caravan, not long after that I found Lust did a retro daisy wallpaper. These were the starting point for the interior style which I planned out on Procreate. I’ve loved having an excuse to find bits and pieces to match over the last year, even sourcing mini utensils to stock the kitchen has had me in my element. ​I’ll pop a list of some of the items below:

• Wallpapers - both Lust Home
•  Yellow paint used for arch (previously gifted) - Yellow 01 Lick
• Green paint used for scallops - Tapestry Green Craig & Rose
• Ceramic door knobs in various colours - Rinkit
• Pink paint on door - Antique Rose Autentico
• Yellow gingham fabric used for curtain/blinds - Homescapes
• Crochet daisy cushion - Ferry Boat Arts
• String lights - Cable & Cotton
• Crochet Blanket - eBay
• Flower shaped cushions - Dunelm
• Daisy milk bottle vase - Handcrafts by Courtney
• Navy crochet round mirror - Lulaorcrochet
• Self adhesive scallop tiles - Dunelm
• Daisy cups - Enamel Happy

I really wanted the space to feel like an escape pod where we can go to disconnect from technology and slow down. We have a cupboard stocked with games and puzzles, a little book shelf and a retro radio.

I have a few things I’d like to work on next year, but for now we’re going to enjoy a few more trips away before we have to put it back into hibernation. Let me know if you have any recommendations for where we should plan a trip!

Lorraine of Blushberry Botanicals decided it was time for a new look. The brand is focusing on their expanding range of natural deodorants, now offering bars as well as creams, and wanted a fresh new image style to mark this.

​We decided to take the mint and blush pink from the branding and add in some other pastels to complement the colourful labels I designed a few years back. The props were kept natural and minimal for some clean styling. I thought this would be the perfect chance to try some illusion photography, with the floating lid effect for the deodorants. 

I also layered up some small cylinders to create plinth-like backgrounds to give the effect of the products being in the spot light. This shoot was a lot of fun - I  loved playing around with the plinth scenes and "levitating" some products!

We then had a mini shoot with model booked for some additional images to support the main photography - perfect for storytelling on social media or populating pages on a website.

When Anna from The Balance Brush got in touch about a photoshoot for her patented brush, I realised this was the perfect chance to do something a little different for me. We wanted to create 'glossy' images which could be used in adverts targeted at high end salons. The photos were to feel glamorous, with a subtle vintage luxury feel. 

To achieve this I mainly used a seamless backdrop with minimal shaped props - an arch and a cylinder. I also had fun playing with balance visually, in particular with the balance illusion image, as a play on the name of the brush. We also did a few shots with pink satin for a more relaxed luxury look.

These clean-look images are perfect for adding text to, whether that's on an advert or a website banner.

How dreamy are these cakes!? Two Flowers Bake is a Glasgow/Lanarkshire based bakery creating beautiful occasion cakes and bakes. This project involved a full brand design as well as photoshoot (I'll share the branding on here soon!). Jade wanted her business visuals to be all about the pink and green, that's why she picked me for the job.

I went to Jade's kitchen in Glasgow to photography these gorgeous cakes, armed with my pastel backdrops and vintage props. The final images are fun and fresh with a retro vibe.

Scents of the Wild make natural botanical candles and wax melts. For this photoshoot Rachel wanted a witchy apothecary vibe with lots of props from nature. She provided some gorgeous dried botanicals to match the products and I sourced some little glass apothecary bottles to add to my prop collection.

I had a rummage and thought the addition of a vintage postcard, teaspoon and scissors completed the look perfectly. The final images are cosy with the mystery of a magical story behind them.
