Holidays!

After a very big Chrissy rush for Sherbet Birdie photoshoots we are all taking a well-earned break. I chose Byron as my freedom destination, and as my luck would have it I have so far seen nothing but rain. So much for being cleansed of Chrissy madness by the ocean.

The good news is that I now have a chance to catch up on all my overdue posts! So I'm sitting here sipping a red and scratching update blog off my to-do list.

It's been quite some time since our last Veronicas Vs Streamer Bendy post and I did promise to upload the results of that photoshoot, but it's just going to take a little longer. Sorry Erinn and Jess!

Over the Chrissy craziness we had some very innovative photoshoot requests which means we have a stack of brand new backgrounds for future shoots (which means more fun for all our new clients). We more than doubled our previous background library and I have selected a few of my favourites to show off!

The first is of our cherished client Mel, incidentally Mel is also our client who sent us the whopping bunch of flowers posted further down on this page. Mel purchased a 15 month calendar. Yes folks, 15 months – why not hey! Below are a couple of my favs.

Darling Careena also had adorable ideas and did a spectacular job! Check out this homage to Mr Gil Elvgrin...

I'll be getting some more approvals to load more backgrounds in the new year so keep checking by.

The Veronicas Vs Streamer Bendy

Yes my friends 'twas the pillow fight to end all pillow fights. Two pin-up princesses, two gigantic pillows, a couple of black eyes, two pair of super cute knickers, and a sh*te load of feathers.

The match had it all; choking, slapping, ninja fly-kicking, and some awe-inspiring headbutting*

Jess from The Veronicas and Erinn from Streamer Bendy spent the day in the studio and created some classic Sherbet Birdie moments. The results will be posted in the next few weeks, but in the meantime here are some shots of me and the girls. I couldn't resist the temptation of a pillow fight. Having grown up with two sisters myself I figured I'd come out on top.. And yes victory was all mine** as I sent Erinn and Jess cowering to the corner of the studio*** whimpering and thumb sucking****

Good times

* Totally lied about the headbutt.
** I didn't win.
*** Lied again.
**** More lies.

Mustard the Sausage Dog

Yesterday Rachel and Rebekah brought their pup Mustard to their photoshoot to pose with Rach in some of the photographs. How were we to know that Mustard would be so comfortable in front of the camera.
He took a little while to warm up, but once he did there was no stopping him from jumping into shot...

Here he jumps into and out of the bubble-bath tub, then gets settled for his close-up. Too sweet.

Stay tuned in the next few weeks I'll upload the final results of Mustard posing with mum Rach.

Thank You Birdies!

Just a quick thank you to all our clients who've sent us thank you cards and glowing emails.
We LOVE your feedback, especially your praise, so thank you for taking the time to show your gratitude. And a very special thank you to Miss Mel who sent us this truly magnificent GIANT bunch of flowers. It took 7 vases to accommodate all these flowers!!!
Thank you Mel xx
(Mel was our first mermaid so stay tuned on this blog for the results)

Louise XVth Three Piece Sofa Suite

Is this not the most beautifully coloured, shaped, and sized sofa?
We've been using it in our Marilyn Monroe tutu inspired photographs.

New Fitout!

Goodness! I've been terrible with my updates.
I can't believe July was my last update...Tisck tisck...
Sorry to all my regular followers, as you would know it's been a furiously busy few months, but the fog has cleared for one day and I am determined to publish these exciting updates!

So first cab off the rank is my brand-spanking-shiny-new-truly-splendid fit-out. We built this way back in the first week of September and had to SQUEEZE the build in over two days between shoots. Eekshk! Sometimes my Super Woman complex can really get the better of me, and as you'll see, others get dragged into my hurricane too!

------------

Build one:
Luke, my friend and man of many many trades, came in to help out. This is after I pushed, pulled, carted, carried and delivered SEVENTY-FOUR Ikea boxes to the studio for the build.
This is our first (and oh so rewarding) step beginning the build.

------------

Build two:
Next level takes form.

------------

Build three:
Thinking, thinking, thinking.

------------

Build four:
My lovely (and super strong) man G is roped in as the clock hits 9pm. He lends a shoulder to lift that entire unit while Luke bolts everything into place.
At this stage our very exciting lights have been fitted into each cubicle as well.

------------

Build five:
Even our poor seamstress is roped in as time ticks way. She works on draws with me while Luke and G install glass doors and door/draw handles.

------------

Build six to thirty-seven:
Wow. I totally lost my photography steam and we completely lost control so I didn't have anytime to photograph our progress... The next images are of the finished build. Whoops!

------------

Ta-da!
The finished product. But as you can see, I've already run out of room!!!

Don't you want to dive right in?!
Check out our new Pony Heels.
Not for the faint hearted ladies!
Our circa 19th century accordion given to me by my sister for my 30th birthday. I adore! Ooh, and shoes and hats galore.
All our makeup for our newly created hens parties!
Draws of silky delights!
