Rock The Goat Catalog Photo Shoot

Hi,
While I was in Sweden I had so many fun photo shoots. The weather was nice most of the time started off a bit on the cool side but made up for it in the end with being on the very warm side. But not as warm as in Dubai of course but without AC you do feel slightly handicapped in the heat :) I will show you a couple of the photo shoots here for sure but today I want to start with the one I did for a new up and coming children's clothing line. All the clothes are made out of 100% cashmere in Italy with a Swedish designer. The brand is called Rock The Goat So please check them out. They have some very cool stuff for kids. ps. I have had a sneak peek of their upcoming collection and it looks super funky so stay tuned for our next photo shoot that will take place in November in Dubai.
I had some great Swedish models all around 5-6 years old when we photographed the pre-collection. All the models were super good listening to what I wanted out of them so we finished the whole shoot 2 hours ahead of time! So client was super happy as was I.
Just to make the photoshoot slightly more challenging I used colored powdered sand for some of the shots. I can tell you how I did it all in the end another day that could be a whole blog post by itself lol. I had never photographed with such a powder before so felt I needed some practice so I invited a few friends by asking can I please throw some sand on you while I photograph it? Surprisingly I had two people saying Yes to that. Must be proper friendship then don't you think?
Not sure I would be able to pull that off here in Dubai... don't think I have enough close friends lol
Here are some of the snaps that I captured on the day for the catalog.

Me behind the scene explaining to my model what i want him to do next.

This is the final catalog. 

Dubai Beauty Make-over photo shoots

Hello my lovely!

This is something for the women out there. (sorry guys this is only available for the ladies)

Book one of my Beauty Make-overs you get to experience  how to be a model for a few hours! It will be great fun i promise we always have fun in the studio that is just how we work lol.

Here is what one of my clients said about her experience.

Everyone deserves to experience a Beauty Make-Over Photo Shoot!

Everyone deserves to get pampered if not for a day so at least for a few hours.

This is what Shippey Photography’s Beauty Make-Overs are all about. You come in to their homely studio where you get greeted and taken cared of by a professional make up artist, she will apply your make up and get you all dolled up looking gorgeous. She does wonders believe me I have seen her in action J After about 45 minutes of getting all beautiful Helen Shippey the head photographer at Shippey Photography steps in and guides you through all these amazing poses you had no idea that you could even do, while she snaps away. I had such a fun time at my beauty make over, I feel everyone deserves to have experienced it at least once in their lives. I felt like a runway model for a couple of hours it was a blast. Then when I got to see my own photographs I was amazed that it was even me! Even my own son said wow mum you look amazing when he saw the photographs. I can highly recommend this beauty make-over experience. It is a great gift for both yourself and for your husband as he gets to look at amazing photos of his wife afterwards.

A lovely birthday present to all women for sure!

A fun filled family photo shoot in Dubai

This family is one of my regulars I photograph them every year since the little ones were born. I just love to see how the children grow up and change in between the times I see them.
They were both such sweet hearts during our photography session. We did it outdoors since the weather has started to cool down a bit now but it is still quite warm if you are out for a long time.
When you are photographing children it is always a good idea to bring in an element in the photographs that they enjoy and like such as the bubbles they also create a very fun photography prop.
