Ice Cream Dreams

So you may have seen the inspiration mood board I posted where I mentioned I was going to Cornwall to shoot the look book for Crown & Glory... Well it was even more magical than I expected. Sophie was the perfect host, she made me glittery pancakes, endless cups of tea and we had the best shoot day ever.

We set up a studio with a lilac backdrop and metres of tulle hanging from the ceiling and covering the floor. We had some beautiful clothes sent to us from Sugarhill Boutique and Oh My Love which complimented the wonderful head wear perfectly!

Megan, as usual, was the perfect model for the job. She is such a joy to work with, we put some music on and had such a giggle shooting these photos, she's so comfortable in front of the camera and doesn't even question me when I ask her to pull silly faces or wrap herself up in tulle!

I hope you all love the photos as much as we do! I'll be posting a few more in a later post but for now heres a few to wet your appetites!

Stay sweet,

Crown & Glory Lookbook

So FINALLY I can share the Crown and Glory Lookbook that I shot a few weeks ago in Bath. It was the best day with an amazing team which included Sophie from Crown and Glory, Megan and Paige modelling, and the wonderful Steph and Rhiannon on hand to assist, as well as items lent to us by Sugarhill Boutique, Vintage Style Me and Annabelles Wigs.
You may remember I blogged some behind the scenes stuff, but for now I'll let the photos do the talking! 

I'd love to know what you think and if you'll be ordering anything! 
Make sure you go check the collection out, there's loads of fab things and would make great Christmas gifts!

Secret gigs with Dr Martens!

On Tuesday I was lucky enough to be invited to the secret gig launch night of the Dr Martens 

store in Broadmead, Bristol. If anyone knows me well, they will know I live in my limited edition Hello Kitty Docs, which you can see above! They are by far the best shoes I've ever owned. They're still intact despite wearing them for almost 365 days in rain, snow, sun, mud etc. I wear them to all my shoots as I know I'll be able to climb onto things, or walk across crooked paths without slipping or falling. So when the little email popped up in my inbox there was only ever going to be one answer... yes!

The shop was seriously awesome, and I loved the mural behind the till that said "Cheers Drive!" such a nice Bristolian touch on things. I do have a small confession, despite being a massive lover of Doc Martens I was naive enough to think that all they sold were shoes and boots... Oh how wrong I was! Lined up around the walls and tables were some of the prettiest and wonderfully made satchels I have ever seen, so when the manager announced after a few beers that there was a lovely bit of discount off that evening I swiftly sent my mum a text asking if I could buy one on her behalf as a birthday present to myself, and when she replied saying yes I pretty much squealed and leapt in the air (luckily the band was playing so I didn't look too odd!)

I decided on going for this beautiful pink and black satchel that matched my shoes, the quality of it is fantastic, and I am seriously going to love using my bag all the time! 

Next on my list of things to buy are these shoes, and also I'd quite like to own this pair too! Infact I'd quite like to own the whole store!

Will you be visiting the Dr Martens store anytime soon?

Behind the Scenes on the Crown & Glory lookbook...

Some Instagram snaps from the day, follow me! @chloeleephoto

On Friday I headed to Bath to photograph the Crown & Glory A/W 2012 lookbook! It was such a magical day filled with laughter, dancing and lots of glitter!

The wonderful Megan, who I've photographed before, and Paige who I'm photographing again on Wednesday were our beautiful models. Steph and Rhiannon were also there helping out, filming and providing us with some amazing dance moves!

With pretty goodies provided by Sugarhill Boutique, Vintage Style Me and Annabelles Wigs. We were totally spoilt! 

I feel so lucky to be able to call these superstars my friends, and it felt more like a party than a photo shoot!

Here are a few teasers from the day and I can't wait to share the final photos with you soon, I'm going to burst with excitement!

Massive thanks to Steph and Megan for letting me steal their photos from the day!

I'd love to know what you think! :)

Behind the Scenes: Peacock shoot

Yesterday I headed to a nearby park to finally put to life the peacock themed shoot myself and Jen have been planning for a while. I felt a little under prepared before the shoot, but then I usually do, the nerves kick in but once I begin shooting adrenaline pumps through me and the shoot went so quick, it was 5 before we knew it! 

We walked through mud, said hello to lots of dogs and their owners and made swings in trees... all in all it was a lovely day and had a wonderful creative team :) 

I have yet to edit the photos but I thought I would post a few behind the scenes photos so you can get an idea of what we got up too!

And a few Instagram snaps below, remember you can follow me on Twitter/Instagram for more behind the scene stuff! @chloeleephoto
