Hilda : Siren of the Sea solo portrait session at Watergate Bay

June 5, 2019 · 2 Comments

It had been a few years since I’d seen Hilda last, and when she told me she wanted to do a solo Siren of the Sea session in Cornwall I couldn’t have been happier! Springtime is so magical around here, and we got really lucky with a beautiful evening in the middle of a rainy week.

‘Everything happens for a reason… If it wasn’t for Marianne I wouldn’t have thought of coming to Cornwall. I’m so glad I did, as I was totally stunned by the beautiful scenery – the beaches, the cliffs… I had the most amazing time. For twice now when Marianne did my shoot, the punt we took always paid off. Last time – the beautiful skies during the shoot and the pouring rain the second we’re done; and this time – the discovery of a beautiful path covered in lovely flowers when we slowly climbed up the ‘other’ cliff. It made me realise how important it is to count my blessings; and always be grateful for all the wonderful things that happen in life…‘

– Hilda

It was so lovely to spend time with you, Hilda, and I think everyone will agree you looked just as gorgeous as the scenery!

{P. S. Hilda’s makeup was done by Sally Orchard, and her hair was perfectly tousled by Ro Hair.}

Jonnie: male model portfolio session on Fistral Beach in Newquay

April 28, 2019 · 1 Comment

On a still slightly chilly spring day, we had a commercial shoot booked in with Jonnie, and since he drove five hours (!) to come all the way to Cornwall, we decided to also shoot a little beachy portfolio session – would have felt like a waste of all that traveling otherwise! Even though we didn’t see the sun, we did get an almost empty beach to play on!

‘For me, Cornwall is a getaway, somewhere I associate with freedom. Having moved there for the better part of 6 months, which was originally supposed to be only 2 months, it played a significant role in forming my opinions on things such as the environment, as the Cornish coastlines offers some of the best views I’ve seen in this country (best experienced on a surfboard at 5am!). I am still amazed whenever I visit at how much diversity is catered for, as the range of lifestyles and cultures I have come across here is so broad. I tend to visit every couple of months to visit family but if I was not tied up at home I’d be there every other week!’

– Jonnie

I had such a lovely time on this shoot, and, as you can see from the quote above, Cornwall means a lot to Jonnie, so it felt like a privilege to get to capture him in the environment he loves so much.

Frøy : beachy model portfolio session in Newquay

November 19, 2018 · Leave a Comment

Frøy fround her way all the way from Norway to study in Cornwall, and while here she’s also found a career in modelling. Looking at these images we shot for her portfolio makes me miss summer so hard! (P.S. we also shot the cutest couple session with Frøy and her boyfriend on this pretty day.)

‘I can think of no better place than Cornwall to be able to do freelance modeling. The beautiful scenery makes for some amazing backdrops and great images.’

– Frøy

Thanks, girl, it’s always such a pleasure to capture your beauty!

Pen & Cam : Cornish farewell couple shoot

November 13, 2018 · Leave a Comment

Last time I photographed Pen & Cam was for their anniversary session right after they had moved to Cornwall. It’s a little bit bittersweet that this next shoot took place at a time when they were getting ready to relocate to Cam’s native Australia. They will be deeply missed by most of Cornwall (no joke, there are SO many people here that love these two!), and I’m hoping Cornwall will always hold a tiny piece of their hearts as they look over a different ocean.

We were both raised by oceans and eventually migrated to jungles of concrete. With time, it became clear we yearned for the raw energy of the sea. The need to breathe grew and we found ourselves moving to a windswept Cornish Headland, and we’ve never regretted that decision.

– Pen & Cam

Pen & Cam (and little Cujo), I really hope you’ll have the most amazing new life ahead of you. See you down under one day I hope! xo

The Goldhawk Family : family session in Newquay

November 5, 2018 · Leave a Comment

It was such a pleasure to meet Zanna & Harry (who run the Cornish-based Papio Press) and little Theo for a family session at my local park in Newquay. We were so lucky to catch some beautiful autumn rays, and since Zanna and Harry didn’t have any portraits from their wedding day, we also indulged in some sweet couple time with them!

‘Zanna grew up in Cornwall so when we got married we knew it was the perfect place to move to start our family. We wanted to do something special to celebrate the arrival of little Theo and were over the moon with these photos. We’re illustrators that are hugely inspired by plants and nature so it just felt right to capture these lovely family memories amongst the trees.’

– Zanna & Harry

Zanna, Harry and Theo, I had such a lovely time capturing your little family. Hopefully, I’ll get to be a part of many more moments in your lives!
