Rosalind

Miss Rosalind Jana from Clothes Cameras and Coffee blog, aged 17 years and 2 months, London, August 2012

A little shoot I did with Roz back in the summer. These photographs are, for me, a celebration of being a teenager: having braces on your teeth, banged up knees and a patchwork of bandaids on your heels*.....with an entire lifetime ahead to follow dreams and make new ones ;)

The wonderful Jessica Meija did an amazing job on Roz's hair and make-up (she makes pretty look even prettier!).

All of Rosalind's clothes for the shoot were vintage from her wardrobe with the exception of the beautiful lace dress which was Alice by Temperley's Kitty dress from My-Wardrobe.com

*actually that still applies to me now! I am the bandaid queen ;)
