The title is NOT a new dance move!
The past week has been super crazy..
Without going into too much details my dad was taken into hospital with a collapsed lung and possibl heartattack, been spending pretty much all day everyday worring about him. Looks like he is on the mend though which is great news so fingers crossed that he continues to improve.
Rory and I are moving out next weekend (well theres still a little thing which needs sorted out with reguards to references but we passed the credit check and employment reference part). The place we will be going to is not the country cottage I had my heart set on, infact it is better than that and much more suited to our lifestyle so although I was a little dissapointed about not getting the cottage I'm pretty upbeat about the new place. We viewed it last Friday and both of us were blown away, its perfect. My worstnightmare would be to stay in a place with bad decoration and horrible furniture and this place is by far the cleanest and warmest flat we have seen. We have already went out shopping for new duvet covers and things for it :-). The landlords are really nice too which is a bonus! I do think we will be really happy there, although I think once we move in we might not want to move back out again!
Still super excited about my studio day with Joceline, can't wait!!
Got some shoots lined up for next month and have an exciting location booking for March with someone who I have wanted to work with for awhile so all happy about that.
Right time for me to get back into the book I'm reading at the moment.
Nighty night xx

Some dreams really do come true!
Well I have never made any secret when asked who my favourite model is, anytime someone has asked me previously this lady has been at the top of my list and often the only one on the list. I often pop onto her website just to see what she has been up to and am usually blown away by her images and modelling. It has always been a dream for me to get the oppertunity to work with her , not only because she is like my idol but I do believe that we would work well together. Both 6ft tall and have a very similar body shape. Well next month will be a dream come true, she is popping up to Scotland and we are doing a studio day in contrast studio, Glasgow. I'm soo excited about it and can't wait!
www.joceline.co.uk
(for anyone who is unaware of her work)
If anyone would like to book us together then feel free to contact me about it and we can sort something out. The price including both models and studio is £75 per hour, obviously working up to artistic nude.
Other news is that I was featured here -

Being featured on the same website as John Tisbury is such a compliment so thanks to the NSFW team for the mention on there.
I think thats about it all! Sadly the house me and Rory were planning on moving into has now gone so we are back to square one now and my country cottage dream is shattered but mum always says *whats for you wont go by you* and I think she is right. We are viewing a city centre appartment today, it looks gorgeous from the images. Difference is that this time we wont wait around and think too much about it.
Adios amigos

-16 with Craig Mcguire
Ok seeing as this is the first update of the year I want to wish everyone a very happy newyear :-)
Just a quick update seeing as its already late.
I went out on Friday with Craig, I knew the forecast was grim so I expected cold weather. One of my silly ambitions was to do a shoot with the weather being colder than -8 (that was my last record set in January last year). The first shot was at 8.15am, its crazy seeing the moon in the sky while the sun is rising, it was -16 :-) so I bet my record and although others might think it was freezing it wasn't actually too bad.
We along the road a little and the way the sun was coming through the trees was somewhat magical so I got my tutu on and booties and stood there.. A car busted us but never mind, was good fun :-)
I usually hate doing things indoors when the weather is freezing but well Craig didnt need to twist my arm too much. I got on some mad makeup and off we went into one of my cottages :-)
Outtake alert :-)
Well we went to an innercity type public walkway so I knew it would be risky, this is a shot of me with my trousers half off and a blanket covering my modesty, I wonder if the dog walker noticed my slightly strange angled leg....
Whitey tutu :-)
Just as god intended.
Thanks to Craig for a lovley day.
I keep missing bloody shoots because of the snow recently so it was nice to actually get out!!

The end of 09
Well I thought now would be the perfect time to have a nice little thought out rant before the end of the year. Its about nothing really in particular just a collection of similar events or things I have seen this year which has left me slightly confused about not only how my mind works but how other peoples minds work too, although maybe the things I say leave people perplexed.
So I have a big bag of crisps and a cup of tea so I'm all settled for now at least, must be up early for work in the morning but I can stay up long enough to talk about the stuff that has been on my mind. Firstly I admire sooo many talented models and photographers many of which get the recognition they deserve, some will always be *hidden gems* but to me they are all stars for their attitude and skill, theres lots of people I admire and all for different reasons. I love and admire people with passion for something, even if their passion is nothing like mine, people who actually want to better themselves.. Not just to 'prove a point' to someone else or to secure more bookings but someone who actually strives to just be the best they can be, jump over hurdles to get to that level and even if they reach it they continue going because the only way is up. On the same token I'm fed up of seeing new models moan on forums that they never get listed on peoples 'fave models' lists or whatever = WHO CARES... be a better model, work with better photographers and better yourself, the only reason other models are listed is because they are bloody good at their job, they have worked for years in the industry and have put in time and effort and it takes more than a couple of months to be a 'known/reputable' model.
Someone asked me recently what I love most about modelling, I actually had trouble answering because the truth is that there is soo many things I love about it. Meeting interesting people who all have a different story to tell is pretty good. I love getting up in the morning and preparing for a shoot, I remember how nervous I was on my first 10 or so shoots and I knew that overcoming the nerves would be worth while. I love feeling appreciated and being able to help people, when a new photographer comes to me and is honest in saying 'Look i've not done this before - help me' I feel like I'm in my element and actually able to do everything I can without feeling too restricted. I make no secret about the fact that I am not the best model to direct, if you plop me in a location I do what comes naturaly and most of the time it does work better than me focusing on someone instructing me.
I do plan on travelling more next year and I know that travelling has been my downpoint, if I took on every offer I have had I know my portfolio would really benefit so hopefully the offers from this year will still be on the table next year.
Right I have prattled on a bit.
Shooting this weekend and next week so I'm really excited about that. Can't wait to start producing again, in the past few months I know I have more than halfed my 'usual' shoots. I don't have a reason for that, just seemed like when I got back from England I naturally had a bit of a break and I aint quite got right back into it yet.
Im spurred up and ready to go again, time to take off in 2010 :-)
I hope everyone has a fantastic newyear and doesn't get too drunk :-)

Merry X-mas!!
Well santa has come and gone again for another year.
I got lots of fabby presents, infact I got soo much more than I expected.
Rory got me some amazing gifts including an art nude book, some awesome work in it and I recognised 1 of my favourite artnude photographers images in it. It really is amazing how much better a printed photograph is than a digital one. I also got a David LaChappell book, again Im amazed how awesome the prints look and the colours are to die for. I got a music cd, my favourite expensive hair conditioner, a cookery book, a special teddy bear from Hamleys in London, an I <3 tea cup, perfume, a ring and best of all my new ballet outfit that I picked. The tutu is soo crisp and white and the enpointe shoes are great. My dream was to one day manage to get enpointe even if only for 2 minutes for a photograph, well minutes after putting my new shoes on I managed to go enpointe and stay there... I was delighted so now I just need to be photographed doing it :-) I got lots of other amazing gifts too and had a really nice day. Everyone seemed happy with their gifts from me, Im glad I got them really early this year.
Heres a few images from a shoot a couple of weeks ago with Simon!
It was cold.
My hometown is burried under about a foot of snow right now :-)
must get out and shoot, only problem is getting out of Perth or people getting into Perth!
mwahahahah

Home...
Well I just got home from my little break away :-)
Had a very relaxing break. I even had a dream come true because it started snowing yesterday, a wooden lodge with a outside hot-tub and snow.. yeyy!
Rory and I took alot of pictures, he even had a little go at shooting me a'la artnude.. Just got to put them onto the computer. We messed about lightpainting last night too.
Now its time to unpack and all that stuff.
Heres a couple of non nude images from my shoot last week with Alistair. Despite feeling like death they look pretty good yey.
To be continued ;-)
