Little Doll

Today I did a shoot with a great young model and an up-and-coming makeup artist (who also did the hair and styling).
I thoroughly enjoyed the shoot as the model was very easy to work with, and I think the makeup/ look was wonderful.
There were so many good photos I decided to make a few collages (seems I am doing this a lot so must learn how to just pick a couple of photos from the batch!).
Anyhoo, here are the three collages - all of which can be found on flickr of course!

These are my fav shots (rest on flickr as usual)

First time

Yesterday, I did a shoot with a girl who has never modelled before. With the help of MUA Glitter Dust (from Model Mayhem), we used the models own beads and her tattoo to theme the shoot. I think it came out looking very egyptian.
We also did some shot using the models own boxing gloves.

Self portrait

I've been meaning to do one for a while but have only just gotten around to it.
I realised I need to get my hair cut tho as you couldnt see the makeup I'd spent a good 10-20 minutes applying for my fringe!



and with my trusty camera

MUA Shoot

For the first time, I used a makeup artist for a shoot. The make up artist, Jade, was fabulous and I'm sure you agree the photographs are stunning.
Jade can be found on ModelMayhem under the name Glitter Dust.

Grace

After the tutu shoots the model thought to use the tutus in a different way and these beautiful shots were created.

Luv Lora Tutus Promo Mark 2

Luv Lora tutus wanted some more promo shots with an non-alternative model to use in conjunction with the previous photos - to promote to different types of people.
And so we did some studio shots. I love how the luminosity comes out on these images.

pregnancy/ bump photos

Yesterday I did a shoot of a pregnant lady who wanted to immortalise her first bump on film.
I think she looks fabulous!

a bunch of 5

Today, I did some children portraits. The children belonged to a lady who has her wedding booked with me later this year. There were 5 kids who were all very photogenic although a couple were a little shy.
Here are couple of my favourites:

Wedding at Manchester Register Office

Today I had a wedding at Manchester Registry office with a lovely couple. They're already married but as it was in Nigeria the first time around, it wasnt legal in this country and so, similar to renewing their vows, they got married a second time around.
The couple are very handsome and so are their family thus the photos came out wonderful.
I was only booked for the actual ceremony, some 25 minutes, but I was actually there for 2 hours and took a whopping 700 plus photos! Thank goodness it didnt rain tho!
Here are a few of my fav's so far (as I havent yet looked through all of them, it may take me a while).

Luv Lora Tutus

Today I did a promo shoot for some tutu's. Although the tutus can be worn by anyone, I wanted an alternative look and chose an experienced alternative model called AJ.
here are a couple of the shots.
