When Michael and I made the big move almost 12 months ago I thought to myself, where am I going to get the word out to country NSW about Studio Yates? There is only one word…Style. I had picked up a few copies here and there on my various trips home and thought I should make contact with the editor and sales team about some advertising. I met Jacqui Greig – head honcho of the Style express in February this year and I was sold. Jacqui has created an incredible magazine dedicated to country and regional NSW. I was completely inspired by Jacqui and thought to myself wouldn’t it be lovely to work with the magazine (not just have my advertising). But being new, I didn’t want to push the envelope. But to my delight we had a secret mutual thing for each other and I commenced putting my Yates Stamp on Style.

Please enjoy some Yates snippets from the last two issues Spring and Summer 2011…

My first cover shot in a random paddock that we found halfway between Forbes and Grenfell. Sarah and her beautiful daughter Layla looking very summery and incredible. Please note the balloons that Sarah has…The things I do for Jacqui..

Fashion spread Summer edition directed by the fabulous Cherie Quade. Shot at the quaintest little blue church just outside of Grenfell. I had been scheming of ways I can make the most of this location and Jacqui and Cherie were very supportive of my crazy ideas.

Love your work Chez.

 Fashion Spring 2011. Photographed in Studio Yates. Love my bricks. Again styled by Cherie.

The ladies sent me on a mission to Naromine to work with lifestyle stylist Kezz Brett and capture a bush beach theme.

The food was incredible, it was really hard to photograph when all I wanted to do was eat. Our models were fantastic and we had a beautiful afternoon on the Macquarie River. I also had another 2 pages of social events but I didn’t want to bore you to death…

A little feature of moi.
