Styling Details


Vintage Mirror and Flowers...


I realized last week that my 'compact and bijou' study makes
 a fantastic (mini) studio! So now I work in the play room in the mornings, 
at the kitchen table over lunchtime and my little office once the kids 
are home from school-all to catch the best light!

After shooting the wild strawberries for my last post,
 I picked a few more flowers from the garden just before the rest got 
battered by the torrential rain and wind we've had this week. 
What happened to Summer?!

I have a vintage mirror which makes a great background for the photos, 
along with my Dad's old French book from school, my favourite vintage postcard 
and a palm sized piece of driftwood we found on the beach in France this Easter. 
I hope you like my latest practice shots!

    I really like the way you've shot the purple flower on the postcard Caroline! You can tell you're trying out new things, it's great to see and makes me hopeful about my own practice.

    Thank you Holly_and it';s nice to get your feedback on your favourite shots! I still need to re-size the header photo I think- a little large. But glad you like it! Have a great Sunday! :-)

    These, for me, are definitely the best shots you've taken. The styling is simple, yet stunning and I love the way you use your mirror or wooden boards.
    I like all of them so have no favourite. Kepp doing and you'll be a pro in no time xx

    Beauuuuuuutiful! I love these - and the lighting is SO good!! My favorites are the little thimble and the last one with the photograph. Loooving the use of the old photograph.

    Nicely done, and most importantly it sounds like you are having fun with it!! Hope you're having a fantastic weekend :)

    Hi Caroline! Thank you so much for stopping by my blog! I've been following you on twitter, but this is my first chance to swing by your beautiful blog. I love these photos! Just stunning, and how awesome is it to have found some great light! I think the one of the white flower in the thimble is my favorite. I can't wait to see more. xo

    Oooh, I see the thimble is a HIT! It was my favourite too - I think it just lends a whole sense of scale to the piece so we really understand how teeny tiny the flowers are.

    These are, without a doubt, your best photos yet!!! All the elements just work so beautifully together.

    The light lends your photos a soft, ethereal quality. Practising so diligently has definitely paid off - fabulous job, Caroline! :D
