My Idea...

For my photographs I'm going to have my mum modeling for me. I'm very close to my mum hence why I'm putting here into my shots. I think my mum looks great for her age. I think shes 60, but defiantly doesn't look it and she takes a great photograph. I would of liked to put the rest of my family into my photographs but I'm only allowed to use one model.

Location...


My sister has a huge house with old with a lot of quirky interior. In her kitchen she has a window bench. So id like to do my shoot in there, not only because of the look but the lighting is perfect. It has a light right over the bench and different other lights in the kitchen so i have allot to play about with.

Id also like to do a few shots in her living room. Its cosy and has a homely feel about it. Which is what my shoot is about family and being at home. After all there's no place like home.

I want a plain white cake with an element of it red. Maybe put some heart sweets on the top and Ribbon round the edge. I also would like little cream cakes, as if it was a tea party.

I also need to consider what my Mum is going to be wearing. I think i want something simple. Plain black maybe with jewellery. Shes very fashionable and i would like her to dress like she would normally do so. I also want her to have the same make up. Shes the type of woman who would be seen dead without make up, even walking to the shop - it HAS to be on, she does her make up well so that's no worry :)

I also want the shoot to be relaxed and no to look as if the photo is being posed for.

Things i need:

• cake/smaller cakes
• balloons
• confetti
• ribbon
• sweets
• red cups
• plates
• wine glasses
• table cloth
• pillows (for the bench) different colours maybe some white some red
