Home Products Photo Shoot -Part 2

As I mentioned in my last post I'm working on my new website and catalogue which has inspired me to take new images of my products. A new project that I've been enjoying tremendously as interiors and styling has always been one of my interests!

So much time, thought and work goes into taking an image that sometimes when flicking through the lovely images in interior magazines I have taken for granted.

So having just had a little taster I'm willing to learn and pursue this new venture even if it is for fun- so watch this space :-)

Home Photo Shoot - Part 1

Today being such a lovely sunny day it inspired me to take photos of my products for the new website and catalogue.

I used corners of our home as a canvas to promote the new cushion and print collection aiming to create a lifestyle image...

It became quite a full on day ( more than I envisaged) and a little bit exhausting towards the end, but I thoroughly enjoyed it !

Now I have to go back and work through some more editing; above is a little sneak preview of what I have done so far...

Winter Soup

Autumn beacons winter hearty soup! Today I made a new recipe using carrots and red lentils! Delicious! I also took the opportunity to take some images.

Medici Greeting Cards

Many months ago I was approached by the renowned greeting card Medici to use some of my images. I was sooo thrilled and flattered ! After many talks, meetings and discussions the cards are in print ! So at last I have in my hands the lovely collection from Medici greeting cards featuring my 13 of my images ! I'm so happy with them and how they look !

Great News !!

My dearest friends a couple of weeks ago I hinted about some exciting news..Well I can say now that the lovely Stationery chain Paperchase have purchased some of my images which will be in the shops later this year! I'm so excited, for me it is a great honor as I'm always stocking up on their diaries and notebooks. Paperchase is very big in the UK but also in The Netherlands and Dubai. I'll keep you informed when they are in the shops :-)

Home Inspiration-Swedish Style

My passion for Swedish decor goes a while back when I had my first apartment and decided to paint & distress all my furniture white - ignoring the constant banter from my friends commenting that I myself was going to end up looking white too ! Years on I still get just as passionate when sourcing for inspiration and come across lovely images such as the ones above collected for my scrap book... aren't they so dreamy?

Images are from Debi Treloar, Living etc and via sfgirlbyday.

Have a lovely weekend whatever your plans are :-)
