Photo Shoot: Ma’Ki Débuts on the streets of Perth

Sunday the 20th Feb was David and my very first photo shoot as husband and wife. The shoot was for my business Ma’Ki Itemz and Dave was representing his business dStyle Photography.

I was really looking for a casual look and feel for this round. The very first photo shoot the bags appeared in was the “One Piece” album which was a studio – essentially nude session. It was very very different and artistic and i wanted to bring in fresh photos which we can use around the website and in advertising.

We were lucky enough to have with us Stacey Ensell to complete hair and make-up. In addition Stacey was one of our models along with Vanessa Marek, Honor Vincent, Aleisha Heiderich.

The girls all brought their favorite casual outfits along with a variety of shoes, jackets etc and Stacey kicked off her craft at 7.30am. Yes it was an early start for a sunday morning but we weren’t too sure what was going to happen with the weather and wanted to get into the city before it got too busy with sunday shoppers.

We managed to get underway at about 10.00am. With 2 large suitcases in toe to carry the bags, shoes and accessories we kicked off from Etro Cafe on King Street. Dave captured Stacey and Vanessa drinking coffee, relaxing and chatting. Next we moved through several back streets to get a real urban look.

Dave really wanted a shot incorporating the red wall at Wesley Arcade, which turned out stunning and Aleisha just shined.

Next we trundled across to central park where we out shoot was looked on by several construction workers, emo’s and couples enjoying the show. We caught some really lovely shots of Stacey and Honor on the park bench and a beautiful one of Vanessa lying on the grass with the parasol. I have to love the photographs that aren’t staged. Ness was actually trying to shield her hair from the wind, but it the look was to good for Dave to resist and he captured a real sultry image.

Next up were some leg shots right next to the park and finally we used the stairs at Australia Place.

Overall – the shoot took us about 3 hours once we got underway but i am delighted with the results. We have such a great range of faces, bodies, looks & locations.

Ness also completed a video to capture the magic.

I cannot thank everyone enough for the day and making it a success. All i can say is that i can’t wait to do our next one!!
