Today isn't like other days

I'd rather be out & about for the first day of Spring, but being stuck in bed had its advantages, tea, tissues and sunshine

Amongst the collage are two looks from my SS12 collection - excuse the quality, as I shot with the iPhone to show a friend. The first is the cream wool & jersey short suit. The shorts are high waist and tailor fit, while the shell jacket has stretch jersey sleeve - comfort please! I've also hand sewn one cuff with glass beads and Swarovski crystals, my version of a wrist party!

The second look is very girly, cropped shell top and full skirt is contrasting lilac floral prints. All pure cotton, the top is fully lined with open end zip front, to wear layered while Spring finds its balance in the weather.

The collection is Made to Order. More details soon

Happy Spring!

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.

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
