SatinSkin Ltd. | London Commercial Photography

March 10, 2009

I have been working with SatinSkin for about a year and a half now, creating all the photographs for web and print and assisting in web development. I have to say I have quite enjoyed the perks of using the product as well. For those who don’t know about SatinSkin it is all about one of the oldest beauty secrets that has probably remained a secret for too long. The healthful benefits of silk. In the case of SatinSkin, it is the healthful (and beauty) benefits of sleeping on silk pillowcases. You can visit the website to learn more. It is probably the easiest change to adopt in your beauty regime. I can certainly attest to the end of bedhead and creases on my own skin. So, through testimonials it was found that a lot of children were benefiting from using SatinSkin pillowcases, especially those girls with long hair that is a tangled mess in the morning. Add to the fact that it is never too early to teach our children about proper skin care, and the need to represent children on the website came about. Here is a quick sample from my session to bring the younger face to SatinSkin. Special thanks to the models. We had a lot of fun…a regular pajama party which of course ended up in some fab bedjumping and pillow fighting!

I do love care packages! Being beautifully wrapped and arriving at the perfect moment makes it all even better.

Can you see all that chocolate? What more could a girl want? Chocolate goodies for me and an empty box and wrappings for him. Lucky us! Do you think I can send him over the ocean as a little thank you??

Reb: Awwww ... I'm glad everything made it over safely. Let me guess: you'll be having Annie's for dinner and chocolate chip cookies for dessert tonight? Enjoy! And YES!!! Send Taz over, he'll blend right in with all my crazy monkeys. xoxo

Lisa Kelly: aww, that is really sweet. I love the saying "a good friend walks through the door when everyone else is walking out". Good friends truly are priceless.

Shellie: Oh how wonderful!

Frederique Starmans-Rossollin: Oh your new blog is just beautiful. Love the pictures! So fun. And yes who wouldn't get such lovely packaging!

Happy Little Arthur | Sneak Peek

March 2, 2009

WELL. It took 2 weeks (grrrrrr!) but I finally have my internet service back up and working. I am so thrilled! And so far behind. I have a lot of catching up to do. I feel like every aspect of my life was put on standby which makes me realise that I have probably become a bit too dependent on the internet. I had ALL my eggs in that basket. Something I need to work on.

On a lighter and much cuter note, here is a little sneak peek from last week of sweet, sweet Arthur. He is nearly five months old and full of personality and all the wonderful chubbiness that makes this age so much fun to capture. To mum and dad and the grandparents, enjoy! I can’t wait to show you the rest from our session.
