When I walked into Sandra's for her 1960s-themed photoshoot, there was a playful energy in the air. We set up the props in her garage and it was a vibrant homage to a time when everything was bold and carefree—perfect for a shoot centered around the timeless theme of self-love. With a mustard-coloured Ralta hair dryer perched on her head, and an old classic car magazine in hand, Sandra was ready to bring this retro vision of mine to life.
But this photoshoot was more than just a nod to the past; it was a celebration of loving oneself just as you are. The mustard blooms, so bright and full of life, symbolised Sandra’s unapologetic embrace of her own uniqueness. In every frame, you could see the joy in her eyes, the confidence in her stance, and the undeniable message that self-love isn’t just about acceptance—it’s about reveling in the things that make you, you.
The addition of the classic car magazine was a perfect touch, grounding the whimsical blooms and vintage dryer in a context that spoke to the era’s fascination with freedom and individuality. As Sandra flipped through the pages, she embodied the spirit of a time when breaking the mold was the ultimate expression of self-love.
The photoshoot was a true reflection of Sandra’s personality—fun, playful, and fiercely authentic. It reminded us all that loving yourself doesn’t have to be serious or solemn; it can be as vibrant and joyful as a mass of mustard blooms or a spontaneous laugh shared over a nostalgic magazine.
In the end, Sandra’s 1960s-themed shoot wasn’t just about capturing a look; it was about capturing a feeling—the feeling of loving who you are, in all your vintage, mustard-coloured glory. And that, in itself, is timeless.
