V on the streets of Florence

I'm all loved up after a great day, that ended with the premiere session of the latest Twilight instalment - Breaking Dawn. The cherry on top is that I got to see it before my twin in Australia (haha - sibling rivalry). Three years ago if you mentioned Twilight to me I would dry reach. You see, I worked in retail and my 40 year old manager was obsessed with the books. We were never on the same page, and so when dressing room gossip would drift to Twilight, you would hear me muttering something obnoxious under my breath "...and you wonder why your single" In my defence, I was barely a year in from divorce and still fairly bitter about the world.

Right before our 24th birthday my sister brought home the Twilight DVD. I was disgusted. And what did I get for my birthday. Yep. The first Twilight book and a plea from her that if I want to "know" and "understand" my twin, I should, nay, obligated, to read the book. How could I refuse? (that, plus she is alot stronger than me, and not afraid to get physical).

The moral of the story: Im a twihard (a twilight die hard fan). Ive just seen the movie and am already making plans for cinema round 2.

On a fashion note - this is the other outfit I bought with me. So now you've seen it, thats it - I'm out of clothes. Maybe tomorrow I'll hit up H&M and see if they can't deliver

Enjoy! and get yourself to the cinema... Bella's wedding dress [es!] are to die for!

Design | Content | Photography

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.

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
