Last week I posted images from a photo shoot with Modern Girls in Vintage Pearls.  Nadine, who blogs for MGVP from Perth, shared an illustration by Kelly Mekel, drawn from one of those images.  I’m completely smitten.  Here’s what Nadine had to say about Mekel…simple, effortless, whimsical and quite simply beautiful is how I would best describe Mekel’s dreamy watercolour illustrations that always seem to be inspired by a fascinating and exciting story!

This is the original image from our photo shoot.  I love this creative twist on a simple photograph.

Here’s more from our colourful photography session, if you’d like to see.
