Behind The Scenes: Jolene In The Park

Hey y'all, QD here. This shoot was supposed to happen a few weeks ago but Jolene, our lovely model was super busy. So when shoot day came I was inspired by blue tones, Strelitzia, ocean vibes and blue skies. Which is why the collage is full of luscious blue. Although we found very little blue in the park (not even blue sky!), the shoot was still super fun and amazing.

Jo sent me a list of the clothes she wanted to wear and I searched the outfits on Pinterest. Visit her style shoot board: here.

Jolene told me about T-rex arms and it turns out that she's a pro at them. Look it up on Google if you don't know. Keep an eye out for her upcoming shoot pics.

Shoot Preparation: Dani & Kathryn

Before every shoot we like to plan everything. We decide on a look and feel beforehand and the best thing to do is send our models a mood board/collage so that we can all be on a similar page.

We shot Dani and Kathryn this week. These are the style compositions we came up with.

Mia was inspired by Nirrimi's photography especially the more ethereal artworks. Playing with light and DIY filters is Mia's thing and I can't wait to share those photographs in the coming weeks.

I know Dani from Uni and she is huge on Pinterest -- check her boards out here: pinterest.com/danzmalkin/. I have been following her for a few years on Pinterest, so I actually used some of her pins in the collages because it felt like a reflection of her style.

The best part about styling a shoot is that you never know what it is going to look like when you're done. Dani introduced us to Kathryn and we trusted the two of them to style the shoot. We are loving the photographs!

Here's a sneak peek of the shoot ;)
