spring memory

During the spring I spent a drizzly afternoon with Carmina and her mum Liala.  I had a bucket of foraged flowers, a bag of vintage clothing and and a stack of lush upholstery fabric for backgrounds.  When I arrived at their cottage I shambled about making floral headpieces without a clue how to make them.  Liala and Carmina were very patient. The soft light inside the kitchen was beautiful so we set up a makeshift studio there.  Liala's photos are up on my website already in the big folks section; my favourite one is of her looking regal and stunning with her cat.  It took me ages to edit these photos of Carmina because she is such a natural in front of the camera; it was hard to choose her best shots.  I can't wait to work with these beautiful ladies again over the summer...
