Flowers and first Photo shoots

Let me introduce you to Asel (soon I will do a proper introductory post!). Asel is here for a year from Kyrgyzstan, she is working alongside the youth charity XLP which is also who Matt works for. Part of her time here is going to be spent as a member of the Dear Friend team. On Thursday we had our first ‘meeting’. We tried out making flower/floral crowns and had great fun making them. We used artificial flowers this time but I would LOVE to make a real a crown of real flowers at some point. Nothing beats flowers! 

We then decided to try out doing a bit of a ‘photo shoot’, just for fun. Neither of us had ever done this before. After we had made our headpieces we went through my wardrobe to choose some dresses which we felt would compliment the flowers. As we left the house the sun came out, just for us. We went to the local park, chose a nice spot and snapped away. It was the first time I have done this and it was so great, Asel is a natural. Its also the first time editing like this and being creative with it. It was all a lot of fun and I hope you enjoy this selection of the pictures!

Stunner hey?
