Natasha, one of my favorite models, dressed in a purple ribbon outfit made by myself with her gorgeous hair showing off in the back lighting

What a privilege to have these this lovely family in my studio, thank you for the pleasure of taking these images, for my friend Elisabeth.

This lovely young lady was a great pleasure to capture, so natural and a bubbly personality

My lovely model Bianca and her very spunky daughter Alexi graced my studio with their enthusiasm and the promise of more sessions …watch this space

Butterfly kisses, is she not the cutest button on human earth. I was lucky enough to have this sweet angel in my studio with her Mommy. Thank you Mom Bianca and beautiful Alexa, we made magic

Jessica with very straight hair and the beautiful hydrangea dress. Stunning as always

I had the privilege to photograph my friend, her daughter and grand daughters. Four beautiful ladies made for a stunning shoot. This is one of the images from the shoot. Thank you to a beautiful family.

Beautiful model Natasha, Capturing her beautiful motherhood moments was an honour and a privilege.

Natasha is a natural and sensual beauty, every image always a great success. She needs no elaborate garments, just a piece of flowing silk.

This painterly image of Jessica turned out exactly the way I envisaged. Her slender arms give it a poetic feel, it describes ultimate female beauty matching the soft flowing fabrics.

This beautiful model acted as the most stunning evil fairy.. always making magic with Jessica.

My Model Jessica changed her hair colour and an explosion of magical colours like deep ruby, red wine and copper exploded in front of my lens...

Every so often, magic happens in my studio, this beautiful Pixi came to visit and we had so much fun. The big Peacock chair was covered in flowers matching the outfit that I made with different coloured tule fabric. The pixie ear hiding under her hair added the final touch of magic. My Pixi lady is called Jessica.

I have always been fascinated by the Greek Goddess Aphrodite. She was the goddess of love, pleasure and beauty. In many of my conceptual images I use flowing fabrics and the beauty of the female form.

I enjoy creating my own costumes and to be honest this was suppose to be part of a future creation. I just loved the way the fabric curled and decided it can be used as a frame for some implied sensuality.
