When Ashley came to stay this summer we arranged an impromptu photoshoot in the meadow by the house. With her dramatic ice-white hair, and her white clothes to match, she had a beautiful strong look. There is something Elsa from Frozen here, wouldn't you say? I also think the straw hat emphasised the look & feel of a french county lifestyle photography session. Lifestyle photography can be as casual and glamourous as you like, with props to create a focal point in the frame. Or just you as you are, no frills

​

What a gorgeous evening, can you tell? We tried different spots around the meadow to maximise the light and the beautiful  scenery. Trees make a beautiful backdrop, golden light filtering through. The light was mellow and golden as the sun set under the old oak tree, turning the leaves of the tree to fire. And in the shady locations by the house,  there was a cooler bluish light. Perfect for silver toned black & white portraits. Ashley was so relaxed in front of the camera, a great model indeed. She's a lovely smart girl and I'm so glad she loved her photos x
