I hope you all had a merry Christmas with family and friends and are looking forward to the brand new start a new year brings!

A little while I ago, I spent a fun afternoon photographing my flatmate and friend Alanna. She is such a beauty and has the longest, most luscious locks in the world. Alanna just graduated from her degree in Textile Design at AUT. She spent a year in India last year, doing some incredible voluntary work helping those less fortunate. Alanna is one of the most thoughtful, creative and talented people I know. You can check out some of her work on her website here. I also have Alanna to thank for designing the lovely text for my ‘Lydia Rachel’ logo, talent I tell you! Love you Lan, you’re beautiful xx
