Behind-the-scenes of my new book!

Sandwiches!!! It feels like so long ago now but I still haven't shown you the pictures of the behind-the-scenes to my new book. Those who follow my instagram would have had a sneak peek, though.

I definitely have the best photographer on the planet. I practically called her in tears the morning the van was due to arrive to collect the props after she saw a picture of the props and said 'hmmmm, they MIGHT fit, just try!' ha ha. Within 30 minutes she has pulled up outside my apartment to collect a few of the boxes so that everything would in fact fit. Next level service!!!

THEN when I arrived at her studio she had pulled out all of the props from her own collection that she thought I might be able to use!

On location for the picnic shoot. You only had to think of something and there was someone there to help you. So incredibly lucky to work with such a brilliant team!

  4. Wow, what a great team! My shoots are never that organized or lovely. There is usually a lot of yelling and crying. I can't wait to see your book, these pictures are wonderful! They inspire me in my own work :)

  5. Hi! I'm a follower of your insta - and some years ago when me and my husband was in Tokyo I had your Tokyo guide as a friend :) Great tips about areas etc, completely our style. Thanks! How ever, in April we're going back again, and this time I'd like to have a drink at a charming place preferable with a great view (to celebrate my husbands birthday). Do you have any nice tips to share?
