Best Friend Autumn Stylish Glam Photoshoot
Autumn is hands down my favourite season. There is something instantly magical when the leaves finally begin to drop and the only downside to autumn is it just can never last long enough for me because of how much I enjoy it.
When Jade approached me about doing a best friend themed photoshoot, I was over the moon with this idea. On the day of the photoshoot, it was obvious how comfortable the girls were with each other, and how much they cared for each other.
I feel the connection they have is such an obvious and precious thing, and to have a photoshoot like this done with the two of them together - well I can only imagine how nice it will feel to go back to these images decade after decade, living proof of how long their friendship has stood against the test of time.
Two gorgeous, stunning women, one breathtaking natural setting, there isn't much that can go wrong in a situation like this.
Their photoshoot had a very fashion feel to it - especially because of the outfits they had chosen, which were brilliant. Matching, but not too matchy. I can only assume this was a genius collaboration between the two, and the photos turned out quite flattering and stunning.
Jade had also let me know she wanted some photographs of herself that were more glamour based, and so of course we had to make it happen.
I always encourage my clients to fully embrace letting me know the types of shots they are after, so we can make these visions come to life. And I prefer them not to restrict themselves to one type of photography or another.
Just because you want the focus of the photoshoot to be a best friend shoot, that doesn't mean there isn't room for individual shots, and even if you want the majority of the photoshoot to have a more editorial, fashion feel, that doesn't mean there isn't room for glamour and drama.
At least in my photoshoots - there is always room for interesting ideas and to switch things up on a dime. And I love having photographs from the same session that look like they were taken on altogether different days. Why should every photo from a shoot look the same?
But of course, my favourite images from photoshoots are and always will remain being when I manage to capture a true connection between two people. There is such warmth here, such love, almost as though they were sisters. And this connection was a pleasure for me to photograph.
