I had the pleasure of shooting a very beautiful lady yesterday, she had the most wonderful red hair with the tightest curls, and it really was a crowning glory.
This shoot for me had a strong connotation as this young lady is my daughter. When Rachael was a little girl she had the most wonderful tight curls, and gorgeous red hair. That all changed as she went through her teenage years, dying her hair ’til it was almost blonde, and many shades in between! However the worst time for me was when she got her first set of GHDs. Gone! Every. Last. Curl. Somehow it was modern to have straight hair, and it seems like dad just wasn’t modern or with it anymore. I can agree with one part of that statement, but certainly not the straight hair part.
You see, I have this vision in my mind of one day walking my little girl down the aisle, and in my mind she has the most gorgeous red curly hair. I thought that dream would only ever be just that – a dream. That was until yesterday. “The dream is alive.”
Thank you Rachael, you are beautiful with or without curly hair, but I am still a little biased.

[…] Our teen makeover shoot with Alexandra was off to a great start – with plenty of Haribo and popcorn at the ready for pre-shoot treats, along with a good dose of coffee and coca-cola, we were so excited to get started and photograph this beautiful young lady! Alex came to visit us with her mum, Jo-Anne who is an amazing hairdresser (check out Jo-Anne’s salon here) and came along to both experience the shoot and to style Alex’s hair. We set to work planning out Alex’s clothing for each set while Rachael gave Alex a beautiful makeover. Alex has a lovely face shape and the most gorgeous skin, so making her look even more stunning wasn’t much of a task at all. Jo-Anne styled Alex’s hair in beautiful big curls and added extra volume for that cover-girl style, and she even treated Rachael to the most gorgeous curly hair style too! […]
