A rockabilly portrait session with a twist....
Hair styled by Jessica Caulfield
Model is Ellie Edworthy

Oh yes, and the jeans are painted on, by award winning body painter, Emma from AFace4U.

Here are the photo highlights.

We started at Copperhead Salon where Jessica is head stylist, plus it is totally rock 'n'roll.

Then we went to the lake front rowing club where I thought the blue and white building colours would look great with her outfit.

This photo session was fairly close to my heart, as this was pretty much me as a child.  Dressing up and going on make believe adventures.

This is Kyra.
