You see if you know me well, you’ll quickly discover that I’m a tomboy at heart who loves low maintenance beauty. Over the last 7 years…
You know that you’ve met the real me when you start to hear the over-use of my favourite abbreviations.

As we were taken on a private tour around the exhibition there were subtle hints throughout…
Not that long ago I read the best quote from sartorial uber babe Caroline De Maigret .. ‘Enjoy the face you have today, it’s the one you’ll wish you have 10 years from now’. Easy enough to say if you have a face like Caroline De Maigret right? But in all honestly, let’s face it ..…
My favourite time of the day has always been that last hour when the sun hits the horizon .. ‘the magic hour’. As a photographer and artist that golden hour is something that we chase, like a pot of gold .. literally .. under the rainbow. Light is one of the most integral elements in…
