Smile For The Camera

This has been one crazy week jam packed with photoshoots and some amazing locations. You guys always ask for teasers so I took some behind the scene shots all week and put them here for you to check out. There is some incredible shots from this week and I cannot wait to show you them all. 

A perfect end to the week was yesterday when I went back to the place where I did my first client photoshoot a year and 4 months ago. It was so amazing to be back with Anna D'Souza who designs the most beautiful wedding accessories and details, it's like bridal heaven in her little room. Very emotional but such a wonderful way to end a busy and exhausting week. 

This week there will be features on the gorgeous swimsuit from Velvette Paris and some lush heels from Billie X Shoes, lots of inspiring shoots and so much more. It's been an awesome week, meeting new people and seeing old friends, I feel so blessed to have had such a lovely week, thankyou to everyone involved for my hair, make up, photography and clothing providers. 

Spring Into Baby Blue

This week has been crazy busy with shoots and it's no where near over yet. I have been helping my lovely girl Holly Kenyon (check her out +Holly Kenyon) with her first ever lookbook this week and I'm so proud of her. These are all her images, and only a little snippet of the outfits and looks we went for, I'll be showing them all over the next couple of weeks amongst other shoots. 

As you had all seen and heard whites and blue are my spring fling this year so this outfit is a new fave of mine. My new baby blue coat is absolutely beautiful and I cannot get enough of the colour. It's time to wean myself off the blacks and dark colours of winter and come into to bright happy colours and this outfit is the perfect way to welcome in the sunshine.

Spring Has Sprung

Spring is one of the prettiest seasons in my opinion, the bright colours, the sunshine, the warm sun with a chillier breeze. The perfect space for thawing us out from winter and pushing us into summer. This spring shoot was a perfect example of that. The spring sunshine was wonderful with a fresh breeze that was so light it kept us from being too cold. 

Lots of you liked the vlog I shared with you all when I took you behind the scenes of one of my shoots so I thought this would be a beautiful one to vlog and get you feeling ready for spring. I was lucky enough to wear an original 70s dress which was actually worn as a wedding dress. It floated effortlessly in the breeze and the sun made it look even more magical. Such an amazing boho feel in a sea of bright yellow daffodils.

These are some of the final images and they are so summery it's making me so excited for the sumer sun, late evenings on the beach and road trips. What are your favourite things about summer? 

Loads of exciting shoots happening this week so keep up to date with behind the scenes of them and more of what I get up to on my Instagram (@crystallily1) and twitter (@crystallily1)
