We were invited over to do a before and after makeover shoot for Clare Beard, a new local Makeup Artist (MUA) who’s trying to get established.

Turns out she’s a real natural and we got some cracking shots of the three girls – it was originally two but Judy’s something of a poser and volunteered to have hers done too!

Here are the cream of the crop (sorry ladies but it’s before AND after…):

The “Evening Out” Look
 
 



The “Natural Wedding” Look
 
 



The “Out for Lunch With the Girls” Look
 
 

3 Peas in a Pod?

Claire very kindly asked me to shoot some family portraits. As per our normal set-up we went to their quaint country house in the Essex countryside for their session. We used a mix of studio flash and natural daylight to achieve the best results possible.

Here are our favourites from their shoot.

After arguments about height we settled on age order.
 
 

A big thank you to Claire and Neil for allowing us to use their children’s photographs on our website and showcase our work.
