@Bird in an Aviary and @Auxpaysdesmerveilles- she is so cute isn't she!! She was quite shy when I first asked her mama if I could take her photo but after a bit of encouragement from her older brother (also adorable) and her mum- and some skateboarding- she was into it!
Lucy is my niece, and even as a toddler she had a flair for fashion and a very personal style. These photos are so beautiful. Thank you for capturing her look and for sharing.
@moira! Ooo so lovely to hear from you! So I guess Lucy and her mum saw the photos? Thank Lucy's mummy for letting me take her photo,and an especially big thanks to Lucy for being such a great sport! She really knew how to ride that board!! I would love to take some more portraits of Lucy and her brother if I come back to NYC if they were up for it. Thanks again Moira for letting us know :)
The pictures are so beautiful and they definitely capture Lucy's spirit! Lucy was actually asking if you'd be back in NYC and I told her maybe next fashion week so I'm sure she would love to have you take her pic again. She's enjoyed looking at your blog and picking out which outfits would look good on her and which would look good on me!
One more gushing auntie! She certainly has a flair! It does sting a little when your 3 year old niece criticizes your choice of hosiery, even if she is right. Love the photos.
@Sheila, @Regan and @Kathleen- hello!!! So lovely to read your comments- I am really happy that Kathleen, and of course Lucy, got to see the photos! My card is so small that I suspect I lot of them get lost in people's handbags. It sounds like Lucy has such lovely (and proud) Aunties-she is a really luck girl.
@Kathleen- I will email you closer to when I am coming back to NYC. If you could just send me a little email with your email address on it to neddyjackman@hotmail.com that would be brilliant. I would absolutely love to take some portrait shots of Lucy and her brother- if they are up for it of course! Thanks so much again for allowing me to take Lucy's photo- I think the Australian/Sydney connection helped!
@Carole- hey Carole, I really appreciate you reading the blog!! It means a lot :) I wish I could get on a skateboard now and not worry all the time about breaking a leg or arm! as you get older, things seem to involve more risk!
May: Australia as a travel destination; Flat whites + cold pressed coffee from Ltd espresso + brew bar (Brunswick St, Brisbane) and BlackStar Coffee Roasters (West End, Brisbane); Avocado on toasted Turkish bread from Leavain Bakery (pick up a slab at the Jan Powers Powerhouse Farmers Market) with a drizzle of Joseph olive oil; Steak at the Brekky Creek Hotel (it may not be the best steak in Australia but a char-grilled steak in the iconic Beer Garden on a warm, sunny Autumn day is pretty hard to beat!); Bill Granger's Spicy Roast Pumpkin Salad (so delicious especially with bbq'd lamb cutlets. Add a little less cumin and cayenne pepper if you like things less spicy); Jocelyn's Provisions blonde brownie (a delicious sweet treat); Band of Outsiders cutout silk-chiffon midi dress (so dreamy and floaty.... perfect for warm spring evenings. Wear with flat summer sandals for the "I am definitely on holidays look!"); Current/Elliott The Infantry jacket (a cool alternative to the ubiquitous olive army jacket); Nicholas Kirkwood lace-mesh pumps(wear with a crisp white shirt, denim jeans + a bold red lip); J Brand Relaxed slouchy overalls (if you haven't got your hands on a pair of overalls yet...get on it! This yellow pair would be like wearing the sun on a daily basis); Tibi eyelet embroidered dress (a sweet dress for apres-beach.....or when you wish it was apres-beach!);J. Crew Collage crystal drop earrings (love the acid bright colours!); Topshop embroidered horse sweat (dreaming of my holiday at the White Stallion Ranch earlier this year); Topshop peplum frill corset (so pretty!); Reading: Australian Gourmet Traveller + MADE Quarterly magazine; Listening to: Just Give Me A Reason Pink/Nate Ruess, and Mountain Sound Of Monsters and Men; Watching: Django Unchained (brilliant, brilliant movie. I watched it while on my looooong Qantas flight)
I am an Australian lawyer turned photographer living in London;
I take a thousand photographs every day - some in my head, some with my camera;
I can't imagine doing anything else with my life- I am totally and utterly in love with my camera and with the people and things I photograph
LOOOVEEE
ReplyDeleteShe's so adorable!
