Styling France | Day Two

After what can only be described as a gourmet breakfast by our incredible host Ouafaa, we set out to style a French autumn picnic. This is easier said than done when it’s beautiful sunshine outside and we’re all in summer clothes, but I guess that was part of the challenge.

For the first part of the day I was working with Kimberly Taylor, Kim’s from Seattle, a vivacious mum of four boys… and a mini farm of chickens, geese, sheep and a horse (the horse literally came with the house!).  Anyway, the picnic tea shots from this session are definitely among my favourites so far, the fact that we got to eat it as we went along, hence the before & fairly empty after plate, was a lovely added bonus.

Later post lunch (yes indeed we ate lunch too), we took off for a local walnut grove to build on the autumn story, though at this point I had some unhappy camera moments so there’s perhaps less to share with you than I’d have liked, but I’m learning oh so much.
