Behind the scenes: Calysto Skirt

I thought it would be fun to show you the behind the scenes pics I took on our location shoot, taken in the depths of Winter by Brighton Beach, Victoria.

Our model, Jackie Coogan, did a stellar job, not complaining once in the 7 degree temperature over the 5 hours shoot, even standing in the wet grass, while the rest of us looked on with shivering limbs.

Our photographer is the amazingly talented James Ballard. I think you can agree that the photos speak for themselves in showcasing the calibre

Dave was our motion man for half the day - unfortunately he went home ill, but not before shooting some incredible footage - I cant wait to show you. These boys have some serious talent!

These made the website:

Starting this journey into photography feels like catching up with an old friend – my trusty Canon camera, a gift from my filmmaker dad over a decade ago. While life kept me busy raising my wonderful daughters, Sahana and Dylana, I put photography on hold for bedtime stories. But now, as I dive into learning about product photography, my creativity sparks. Behind the lens, I'm not just snapping pictures; I'm capturing memories and stories, a talent I believe runs in the family. The classroom has become a safe space filled with inspiration, where my classmates and I cheer each other on. Here, my knack for styling fits right in, blending with the skills of others. And our teachers, full of wisdom and encouragement, make every click of the camera feel like a chance for something great.

High Key Portraits

In the studio, Sienna's character shone through effortlessly, bringing life to each frame with her genuine smiles and infectious energy. The high-key setup accentuated the play of light on her curls and highlighted the sparkle in her eyes, resulting in a collection of portraits that capture not just her appearance but the essence of who she is – vibrant, captivating, and utterly unique

Veiled

VEILED - exploring the significance throughout time and culture. Veils first appeared in ancient cultures as a form of protection from evil spirits. Its symbolism has changed over time, from status in society, to sign of innocence and propriety. While some view the veil as a way to divide god and men, biblically the veil is seen as access, unity and intimacy with the Divine. Besides its enduring religious significance, veiling continues to play a role in almost all cultures on the planet to this day. I've worn veils throughout my life, all 3 of my weddings, religious ceremonies an aplenty of times for fun. Like this shoot with my girls (and self portraits on timer). And the significance of the rose.... that's for another time
