recemment  j’ai eu l’occasion de travailler sur un projet photo avec la talentueuse vanessa baïetto-renoux, créatrice de bijoux volutes – elle voulait des images de sa nouvelle collection "comme maman" - un collection de bijoux pour le cortège, les enfants, filles et garçons des mariés, pour les demoiselles d’honneur et toute personne qui sera ainsi en accord parfait avec la mariée !    son site est un "must" pour toute future mariée – tous ses bijoux sont fabriqués par ses soins dans son adorable boutique dans le magnifique village médievale de alby-sur-cheran (74). 

… n’hésitez pas à visiter son site web www.bijouxvolutes.com car elle a plusieurs collections avec un très grand choix de parures pour se sentir belle tous les jours – personellement j’adore la collection acidulés - à visiter !!! 

recently i was lucky enough to work with the wonderful and very talented vanessa baïetto-renoux of bijoux volutes for this product shoot for the new wedding season – she creates gorgeous costume jewellry for brides ….   necklaces, bracelets, hair decorations, earrings, rings, …. beautiful beautiful products – do go and have a look at her site, or even better visit her gorgeous shop in Alby sur Cheran here in Haute Savoie.   this range is for the children of the wedding party so that they can wear the same gorgeous creations as the grown ups … it’s called  "comme maman". 

 … just in case you are feeling left out … don’t … she has gorgeous collections of beautiful coloured and textured wonders for ‘everyday’ wear  (i love the acidulée’ range !) … and i know for a fact she speaks great english so do go and have a look and if you are tempted, and lets face it who wouldn’t be, drop her an email to  vanessa@bijouxvolutes.com   -  go on treat yourself    x

i really love spending time with families and taking shots of them having fun and laughing, i love showing them just how gorgeous they are and then i love the designing and product choosing bit too.  this family chose some fantastic frames, a beautiful 9 shot frame for home, a classy white 4 image frame for the office and the girls had a contemporary box frame each for their rooms

then as an extra present from mum & dad they were given an album each,  as you can see in some really funky colours – i LOVE that hot pink suede look, and yes it really is that bright !  i know i’ve shown you beautiful portrait album shots before but i can’t resist putting some shots of the pages in to show just how good the quality is … just look at the thickness of the pages

and how about these little accordeon keepsakes that just fold up small and slip into your handbag … keep the gorgeousness with you but easier to carry round than the frames !

wow ! qu’est-ce qu’ils sont beaux ces albums !!!  ils sont fait mains aux états unis, et la qualité saute aux yeux dès qu’on commence à ouvrir le colis soigneusement emballé – c’est comme noël et un anniversaire en même temps . l’impression des images est parfaite, les pages sont épaisses et somptueuses, reliées de façon magnifique en cuir – le genre de cuir qu’on ne peut pas s’empêcher de toucher – on sent tout suite que c’est un album de qualité, qu’on peut regarder sans avoir peur de l’endommager.   …. mais pour tous ceux qui préfèrent ne pas prendre l’option cuir le fabricant présente une large gamme de couvertures qui va de la soie aux ‘happy cow’ (vache heureuse !!! -  une version de cuir synthétique) – et toujours avec la même attention du détail et de la qualité

wow !  how gorgeous are these albums !!!   they are hand made in the states and are just amazing.  the quality is there from the moment you open the very well packaged parcel – there’s all the excitement of opening a beautiful christmas present – the printing is spot on and the pages are really thick and beautifully bound in a leather cover, the sort of leather that you just can’t stop touching, an album to treasure but robust enough to be be looked at and enjoyed frequently !   … and for all of you that would prefer not to have the leather option – don’t worry – they have an amazing range of other covers from silk, to the gloriously named ‘happy cow’ options !    always with the same attention to detail and quality …

gorgeous huh ?         beau n’est-ce pas ?

how gorgeous are these little albums ?  at 5"x5" they are perfect little "almost" pocket albums.  they are hand made in the states and just fantastic quality !
