So its been a while

So its been a very long while since I've updated the blog, so what happened?

Well a lot happened in Ghana and Uganda over Summer, I didn't have the time or internet connection to update.

Then as soon as I got back I started a PGCE (teacher training) and have had no time or money since. However Ive now decided that a little effort is better than none and I WILL be updating everything that happened over Summer, and lots of new things too.

For now I shall leave you some 'Behind the scenes' snaps from the Tribal shoot last weekend.

A photoshoot Ruined (and salvaged)

So my first proper photoshoot of the relaunched was scheduled to be this Sunday (5th June) and due to the stupid weather it got cancelled. My original theme was going to be be a Tuareg man showcasing the Tuareg jewellery and an African/gypsy woman showcasing the Moroccan jewellery (Sahara collection)

Here are a couple of pictures I took testing looks out - the model is my sister.

Different make up on each eye

So I was (and am) mega upset that the shoot got cancelled but luckily my superstar boyfriend was able to take some great photos. Check out his new blog here http://ssjimages.wordpress.com/

Theyre not finished yet but here is a sneak peak of the pics. Styling & make up by me.

Behind the scenes - An impromptu photoshoot

On the 1st of June I had the privaledge of taking Amaziah Jewellery

to a great photoshoot. I had a random email a couple of days before asking for the loan of my jewellery and I decided to go along and see what it was all about.

Here are some clips of what went on behind the scenes and some photos I took.

The finished photos will be posted up as soon as I get them.
