New Headpieces | Fascinator Hack

fascinator hack by Sumico Photography

I love making headpieces and fascinators.

In the past, I made them with paper flowers and peacock feathers.  You can see my other headpieces in this blog post.

I received an enquiry if I can make one for the Derby race in Melbourne this year, but she was concerned about the weather if my fascinator is made in paper.  I asked her to send the photo of her dress and it was black with sheer kind of fabric and so gorgeous. She said that the theme is black and white.

I start looking for the inspiration for fascinators. I have quite good collection of my headpiece inspiration in my Pinterest boards. https://au.pinterest.com/sumiconet/headpieces/

When I was looking at some of the fascinators, I thought that I could use “Place Mats” for my fascinator.  I went to the Spotlight and Freedom and I got a couple of luncheon mats. I also bought some ribbons and embellishment from Spotlight wedding craft section.

I just glue them together with a glue gun.

I love the results and I will make some more with different luncheon mats.

I think that those decorative fascinators can make look dresses more like high-end fashion.  I am looking forward to shooting someone with this fascinator.

Work with B Styled for Life for South City Bulletin

South City Bulletin

Sumico Photography worked together with B Styled for Life for Another editorial work.

Moana is a life coach, hypnotherapist and personal stylist.  She did colour consultation and wardrobe audit for Dana.  I took some photos of before and after.

 

I received some copies of South City Bulletin September issue. Great to see my photography work on the paper. 🙂

Thank you to South City Bulletin and Moana.

I would recommend Moana’s Colour consultation services prior to the photography session.  You are sure and feel confident what colour suits you the best.  She also helps to choose what kind of clothing would be the best for the photoshoot as well.

For the details of Moana’s services, visit B Styled Life website.

Makeover Story by B Styled for Life | South City Bulletin

South City Bulletin Article by B Styled for Life, Photography by Sumico Photography

I work with Moana Robinson from B Styled for Life.  Moana is a personal stylist and a life coach.

Moana did a fantastic makeover for a lady called Cheryl.  Cheryl’s makeover goal was to look professional for interviews for a possible future permanent position.

Cheryl’s makeover included colour consultation, body consultation, makeup, hair cut, colour, and styling, and personal shopping with Moana.

Sumiko Eyears of Sumico Photography joined Cheryl and Moana at Hair Design by Lou in Daisy Hill (Southside of Brisbane) and took Cheryl’s photos at the hair salon and when they are enjoying shopping.

You can find the full story in the South City Bulletin Paper or online on South City Bulletin website – http://southcitybulletin.com.au/living/beauty-fashion/cheryls-positive-outlook-rewarded/

 

This is my second time to follow Moana’s makeover clients.

I enjoy watching the ladies transforming and gaining more confidence within them and just look so happy.

It would be a great idea for people who like to have photography session contact Moana, then find out true colours and bring clothes which are really great on you.  Moana also helps people choose their outfits for photography session at their homes or via skype.  More details about Moana’s services, please visit her style website http://beautyglow.com.au or style and life coach website http://bstyledforlife.com.au/

Handmade Headpieces by Sumico Photography

Handmade Headpiece by Sumico Photography

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I love making things for my photography sessions.

I like to make my photography to be a fashion magazine style and I believe that some headpieces make women look like models.

One of my favourite craft or art materials is paper.  I enjoy watching just flat papers transform to 3D and something beautiful & magical.  I love making flowers with papers.

I bought the base of this fascinator from a 2 dollar shop and it cost me around $5. It has feathers and small flowers.  I made a large white rose with crepe paper and attached it to the fascinator I bought. This fascinator suits to anybody in different age groups which you can find below.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]High School Senior Photography Brisbane Gold Coast[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]Portrait of Woman by Sumico Photography[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]Lady with a white fascinator by Sumico Photography[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_empty_space height=”32px”][vc_column_text]Here are some more fascinators and headpieces which I made and they are available for portrait sessions.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”32px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”1512″ css_animation=”fadeInLeft” border_color=”grey” img_link_target=”_self” title=”Red Handmade Headpiece” img_size=”full”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”1522″ css_animation=”fadeInDown” border_color=”grey” img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”full” title=”Black Ribbon Headpiece”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”1525″ border_color=”grey” img_link_target=”_self” title=”Peacock Feather Headpiece” css_animation=”fadeInLeft” img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_single_image image=”1305″ border_color=”grey” img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”1561″ border_color=”grey” img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”full”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”1421″ border_color=”grey” img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Brisbane’s Best Christmas Lights 2015

Brisbane's best xmas lights 2015

Brisbane’s Best Xmas Lights 2015 – Lucy Drive, Edens Landing by Robert and Sheree Hobson.
Video, Photography and Editing by Sumiko Eyears, Sumico Photography.
Robert and Sheree spent over 10 months to display this beautiful display of Xmas lights. I took the photos of the house from late October how they progressed. My plan is making another video and present it as a gift to the owner as an appreciation for their spirit of Xmas. Each night, they put Xmas T-shirts on and greet everyone who comes to see the lights. They won the best Xmas lights in Brisbane. I want to share this video for people who cannot see their beautiful house. Last night, one of the ladies who were there thanked to them, She said that her mother lost her husband, but the light of the house brought her spirit up. Sheree walked to her mother and hugged her. Their hearts are warm, shine and sparkle like their house is.
Merry Xmas to everyone!
