21st Birthday shoot

 A few weeks ago Alice and her mother came to me for a photo session on Alice’s 21st birthday.

At Alice’s request I found a local make-over artist and arranged for Hayley from EyeCandi (http://eyecandi-mobilebeautician.co.uk/) to come along to do her hair and makeup.

We all learnt a lot about the profession talking to Hayley and it was fascinating to watch her at work. After looking at the outfits that Alice had brought with her we decided on the order of them and the ‘mood’ that we would try to achieve using lighting, make-up and hair.

The first look was sophisticated with subtle make-up and a clean white backdrop:

The next dress was a lovely, flowery summer dress. It may have only been January but the sun was shining and Alice was game, so we went outside for some very natural, sunlit pictures.

A bit of pink eye make-up really complimented the dress colour and Alice looked gorgeous.

Next we went for a more smokey look. Hayley accentuated Alice’s eyes even more and I chose to use a black background and more hairlight for this sequence of images.

She also looked great against the white background.

We finished off with a lovely sexy wrapped up fur coat look:

It was a really fun couple of hours and I hope Alice is pleased with her images - a lovely reminder of this special birthday.
