This is the latest story that I shot for Aromatique Essentials, an Aromatherapy skincare company.
We shot this in July, hence the Winter theme. The day started off quite stressful, our model that we had booked cancelled half an hour before we were scheduled to leave to drive to the location, so I started texting all the models I knew and asking photographer friend’s for model’s number’s. I jumped on Facebook and put up a status. Even the company I was hiring equipment from were kind enough to give me some model’s number’s!
Thankfully the beautiful Charis Uppal (with Platform Models) saw my status update - not only was she available but she had the perfect look for the concept! Phew!

We were delayed by about 3 hours but everyone was ready and we set off to the meeting point before arriving at Julie’s property at Laguna in the Lower Hunter Valley. 

We had to change our game plan slightly due to an increasing lack of light outside because of our time delay and we only got to shoot half of the looks we had arranged.

Nonetheless after much exhaustion we all pulled off a great shoot. I even had time to film a simple behind the scenes video to capture the action:

The Team:

Photographer: Amy Nelson-Blain
Stylist / Shoot Co-Ordinator / Aromatique Essentials Owner: Julie Nelson
Talent: Charis Uppal @ Platform Models

Special thanks has to go to Tiffany Manning who was visiting Julie, she was our amazing chef for the day and made us delightful food, especially the Portuguese tarts which I can’t get enough of!!

There are times when it is hard to believe in the future, when we are temporarily just not brave enough. When this happens, concentrate on the present. Cultivate le petit bonheur (the little happiness) until courage returns. Look forward to the beauty of the next moment, the next hour, the promise of a good meal, sleep, a book, a movie, the likelihood that tonight the stars will shine and tomorrow the sun will shine. Sink roots into the present until the strength grows to think about tomorrow.

The only lasting beauty is the beauty of the heart.

 ~Jalal-Uddin Rumi

Beauty is an ecstasy; it is as simple as hunger. There is really nothing to be said about it. It is like the perfume of a rose: you can smell it and that is all.

William Somerset Maugham ~

Let the beauty of what we love be what we do.
