A HUUUUUUUUGE day was spent with Belinda and the girls playing dress up and having mini make overs for promotional photos for Belinda's nail and make up business. We had 6 super patient ladies as our models, a make up artist working her backside off getting everyone ready and being the party hostess, numerous fabulous assistants (for reasons that will be mentioned as the post goes on) and even a 10 year old boy who help prep our lunch..... nice job Caleb!
Firstly Merilyn had her nails and toes matching but played a big roll all day getting everyone drinks and she made a mean cup of coffee. Thanks Merilyn :)
Next is Kara, my awesome sister, who was my right hand girl...... from carrying my lens, holding the reflector and being my gofer girl AFTER she'd sat and had her hair and make up done and photographs taken. She did a bang up job and I totally appreciated having her there with me for the day. This was a recreation of her wedding makeup which was a few months ago.
Such a lady..... I loved these looking into the mirror shots showing off her eyelashes. I think she looks so grown up and so elegant....
and here I think she just looks cute :)
Thank you big sister for a massive effort. Mmwah xx
Next was Kasey, the hands down pick of the days photos and not to take away from the other girls at all but I think it's the combination of the beautiful pale skin, bright red lips and lush green background that makes these absolutely...
These two are easily the top shots of the day, the winner being the right side. Those eyes just jump out at you and command your attention. We had some fun with these as Kasey was more than happy to have a go at whatever we suggested and she was also really funny and great to shoot!!

The above shot is our third model Minette taking on the corporate look. She was outstanding!!! This is also up there in my top shots of the day
Nikki came next........ Nikki wasn't feeling the best but put in a huge effort for Belinda, filling in for another girl who was unable to make it. I'm not sure what was going on with this dress Belinda chose but Nikki did a great job in front of the camera.
Our last lucky lady for the day was Amy and I think she put in one heck of an effort. She was the first to arrive for the day at Belinda's then did everyone hair, helped get the girls dressed and then sat for her own makeup, had her photos done AND was the last to leave!! Amy was awesome, both assisting and modeling. She has the nicest blue eyes and cheeky dimples when she smiles. Top job Amy.... high fives!!!
I wanted to see this one in B&W and in the end I loved it! I showed Belinda and it ended up being one of her final picks. It looks great in colour as well but something about the B&W just sold me.... and her :)
Everyone had their eye or eyes photographed and Amy's (above) were one of my favourites as well as Kasey (first) and Kara (second)
So all in all it was a SUPER day and I was thrilled with my shots and Belinda was also very pleased. We both learnt a lot so next time (and there will be a next time) we will be much better prepared and have other ideas and styles.
Thanks to all the girls (and boys) for the day and to Belinda for the opportunity :)
I'm already looking forward to our next shoot!
