Buttercup Still Life Series

When I think of buttercups, I cannot help but associate them with how as a child I would hold them under chins and check to see if you like butter!  Now my girls have followed suit and do the same.  I shoot these today as a part of my flora still life series.

Regents Park

Last week we met up with our close friends from Hertfordshire and hung in Regents in Park.  All shots taken by me bar the one I am in shot by L.  

Bateman's National Trust

Yesterday we made the most of the dry and sunny weather and visited Bateman's National Trust House and gardens.  The highlight for me was spying the chickens sitting on a branch.

L today

Today L got to wear these cool dungarees that were passed onto us by a close friend after my god-daughter had out grown them.  They are a real hit in our home! Hope you have a fab start to the Easter Holidays.

Fig Still Life

Today's still life.  In our home we have been counting down the days until the end of this term, roll on tomorrow, we are all shattered.  We have no real plans other than to take it easy!

Aubergine Still Life

In midst of getting ready for Brighton Open Houses in May (5 weeks to go), I am still trying to shoot some new images.  Originally I would have liked round aubergines, but found these baby ones to be the perfect compromise.  I love the texture of aubergines, so smooth and shiny!  After shooting them, I roasted them with some red peppers, spring onions, garlic and a generous splash of balsamic vinegar.

Collaboration

Yesterday was the best day ever.  A chance meeting a few weeks ago, led to a liked minded collaboration with another creative soul in Sussex.  Last week Claire and I met up to plan and discuss working together and share our love for Kinfolk Magazine.  The above images are the result of our first afternoon together.  Claire's natural instinct in styling, floristry and prop sourcing was a dream to be around.  Our next project together is a food one, so excited I may burst!
