GLAMOUR PHOTOGRAFY

. . . when you combine the work of a fashion photographer and an interiors photographer, there is magic in the air, and an intermingling of intricately carved headboards and patent leather peeptoes, cranberry-coloured satin and sexy tousled hair, warm wool blankets and beaded gowns with velvet sashes, and all enveloped in warm and woodsy late-autumn tones of red wine and ripe cranberries, just in time for the holidays . . .

. . . another few leisurely days and it's away, away again, out of the city and to the countryside, guests from out of town and saturday morning flower markets, champagne and the last of the world cup matches, wild strawberries and late dinners in the garden, and a little shopping & sunday morning lattes . . .

wishing you an extraordinarily wonderful weekend, and hope it's beautiful where you are,
