MEET MRS. WEAVER

 

 

when I was approached by a colleague to do a vintage photoshoot to help re-create the imagery for

MRS. WEAVERS FINEST UNMENTIONABLES website and branding,  I dam near jumped out of my skin.

not only was this an opportunity for a creative shoot doing "ERA vintage hair" it was an even better opportunity to work with some really fun, creative and like-minded women and entrepreneurs.

Allana, Karen and I hit a patio to discuss the details and intricacies of the shoot itself and also her vision. the rest all fell into place ...much like giving candy to a baby...pure sweetness

 

heres a look at some behind-the-scenes moments. a long beautiful day was had by all and for me what was so unexpected was the amazing intimate moments us 6 women all had. most of whom had never met and were working under extreme conditions

of intimacy..and lets face it ..NAKEDNESS 

 

yes we "dropped trou"

this was also new territory for me as I prefer (insist usually) that I stay behind the scenes

translated: DO NOT TAKE MY PHOTO

I was coerced into not only doing what I do best behind the scenes but also step in front of camera and step way way out of my comfort zone.....

my early 6am start of self prepping prior to going to location

 

im not sure either Allana nor I were quite sure how her baby fine textured straight virgin hair (seriously could you throw more at me?) would behave...miraculous is what it was

 

heres Karen - mastermind proprietor and creator of MRS WEAVERS FINEST.... she is unbelievably talented and this was such an enjoyably day working along side her. she was so easy going allowing me to turn her home and parlour into something along the lines of "bombs going off" undies and bobby pins and makeup flying about
  

 

I love working with my KEVIN MURPHY tool kits. both the wave clips and hair curlers were used on the ladies and they work exceptionally well for creating era (in this case 20's-30's) hair. 

 

man how I miss working along side this amazing stylist and educator, Vicki
this was a new setting for us both .glad she could be part of this day

 

 

Vicki's hair was just long enough to get into my wave KM wave clips

 

 

practising her skills

 

Dayln getting a break from all her makeup duties to get her hair set.

Dayln working her magic on me..have not worn makeup since my back street boy days?

ah the life of a model..check your phone paint your nails drink your prosecco
