Meet The Women In the Images - Celebrating International Women's Day
I couldn't run my business without the help of some brilliant women who have modelled and shone a little magic on all of my jewellery both in front of and behind the camera - even climbing on the roof of our building overlooking to castle for the perfect shot.
From dancers to teachers, poets to paramedics, they're the ones you see every time you click on my website or scroll through my Insta and they're all amazing in their own right.
I'm a big fan of shooting with female talent, while I run and direct the shoots it's the work of photographers Rhiannon Holland aka @mefusphotography, Diana Oliveira and SJ Webb Photography who capture the magic. More often than not aided by the make up talents of Nikki Louise.
