Derlee Lou

A Sunday afternoon shooting in and around Spitalfield Market in Shoreditch. Derlee modeled, Monia styled and manned the flash. We managed to squeeze 5 looks out of one girl thanks to ASOS.com and our styling efforts. The theme was bright colour blocks. The girls did amazing and we had loads of fun!

Misty Morning

On the road to St Andrews last Sunday morning. I am going to take the trip again super early next week to capture more and take my time about it. The mist was amazing.
