Like most people, I spend way too much time on Pinterest. I get lost in a sea of really cool and creative portrait photography. From using light in interesting ways, to practically climbing in to rose bushes to get some beautiful romantic flower shots, there’s just millions of ideas out there. One photo I found was of a woman who was wearing a gorgeous ball gown but what was different was she was sat in a swimming pool. I loved it and instantly wanted to create my own version. Only problem was… no swimming pool. Here in the UK people don’t have pools at home and I couldn’t see my local swimming baths allowing me to get into their pool in a dress whilst people tried to do their laps around me. 

So it was back to the drawing board. What if I didn’t do a full length photo, but a portrait instead? Meaning I didn’t need as much water. Instead of a swimming pool, how about a kids paddling pool?
