If you go down in the woods today......

Well I was not down in the woods today but I was at the weekend with Craig Burgess from Aberdeen! He took me to a wonderful forest on the outskirts of the Deen. It was only his 2nd model photoshoot (first nude one), Maybe its just me but I love being someones first nude model and Craig was lovley to work with!

I also think I managed to beat a record 'getting bitten and scratched by as much nature as possible in one afternoon'. One of my scratches went from above my knee right down to mid calf.. Woops, I also ended up bum sliding off a fallen over tree trunk but I cant see my bum to see if its left any lasting damage.

Big thanks to Craig for spending Halloween with me, and thank you for linking me to the images from the shoot!

Back again!

*note the above image is just a random silly one from Saturday night. Cheers Rory ;-)

Well I survived my weekend in Aberdeen :-)
Was great to work with a few new people, the apartment was absoloutly gorgeous.
Would highly recommend the Mintapartments to anyone visiting Aberdeen.

I set off from Perth first thing on Saturday morning, had everything packed and somehow we managed to get there early. I went straight off to Shoot with Craig Burgess in a beautiful forest we finished up 4 and I then grabbed a really quick shower and a nibble to eat then started shooting again at 5 with Mark Davids. At about 9.30pm that was my working day done! I gorged myself on Pizza (even thought I know its really bad for me) then had an early night.

Back up at 6.45am for my Sunday morning shoot with Alister Aberdeen.

Left the apartment straight after my morning shoot and decided to take the costal route home, stopped in Stonehaven for a bite to eat then played in the amusements, I visited Stonehaven when I was younger so all the memories came back to me. The costal route was pretty flooded! Stopped off in Arbroath too, got some smokies (fish) for my uncle, last time I was passing Arbroath and didn't get him some he wasnt too happy. Finished up in Dundee at the bingo, we started off really good, won like 4 of the first 10 games which were played so we got a nice night out and made a few quid!

Today I decided to update my blog and I have a long list of things which I really need to do -
Pay my N.I
Pay Littlewoods off - just so they piss off and stop contacting me/ calling
Pay Phone - even though Im not due them money its always good to be ahead of them
Have to go to the police station, dont know if I mentioned me finding a little bundle of money a few months ago... well nobody has claimed it so I am to go and pick it up and its mine to keep YEY!
Put cheque in the bank...

Its all GO GO GO GO GO today.
Last week I done less in the full week than I am having to do today

All images *apart from the first cheesy one* is by the amazing - Demetrios, super photographer and wonderful guy!

Right I will update again soon..

Adios

Up the hills and far away...

Well as usual its a silly time in the morning, seems like I always write these things up after midnight.. Although its technically Saturday now in my head it is still Friday.


Today I was out doing fashion - STRICTLY FASHION!
I did flash a bit of bra and thought one of the photographers was saying 'rwar' at me.
Had a really good day though and even though the sky wasnt as cool as it could have been I really loved running about in trees with all the beautiful colours cant wait to get them back, was my first time working with more than 1 photographer at a time, I think I done not too bad given that I was posing for 2 at once and not naked. Cant wait to see how the pictures turn out and it was partpay so should get a few goodies back soon enough! Thanks to John (fox2006) and Lee (photoexcel) for spending the day with me.

I have only just realised that summer has now passed and its back to doing the cold shoots, the ones which I actually think I enjoy more.. I remember every winter/cold shoot I had last year, after the shoots I actually felt like I achieved something, I remember hearing photographers asking "are you sure its not too cold?" and me replying with "fuck it lets just do it!". Can't wait for the snow to come now..

This is from one of my last proper summer shoots of 2009

Heres another one from me and Craig Mcguires boathouse haloween type shoot, we are going to do more halloween stuff next week hopefully. I have this amazing idea actually, not pitched it to Craig yet but I actually think it will come out bloody mindblowing and absoloutly freaky as hell..

Saturday (tomorrow/technically today) I am doing bugger all really, having a chillaxing day in Perth planned out. I should really clean my bedroom a little I guess but thats a last resort if the internet has nothing better to offer to me. I should also try and get more arranged for next week, I dont have anything on mid-week apart from Craig and we havent picked the date yet. Although Im off up to Aberdeen next weekend and somehow managed to totally fully book the whole weekend, also it seems like at least 4 others now want in on the Chrissie action so I am going to have to arrange a more regular visit to the city of Aberdeen. Wish I had time to do some stuff with Sam Brill though but sadly all my time is gone and I would need to ask him nicely lol.

Sunday should be good, working with Simon. Rory will be on hand too so will get some nice autumn type stuff im sure. Which reminds me I have a selection of 'mood' type images I need to send him.

Seems like I have had lots of amazing ideas recently. Was watching the IT crowd earlier and spotted a tiny little moment in it and I know who would be perfect to shoot it... Monkey twizzle watch out. Plans for after Aberdeen (1st of November) are proberly going back down to Ayr again to annoy... I mean hang out at Steves house. Also going on holiday during November/Start of December for a week and I will be doing strictly no shoots, infact I wont even have the laptop with me or mobile phone.. How is that for actually getting away from it all? think it will be good for me to have a little break away from everything.

Anyway I seem to be chatty tonight but I will get off, I like keeping the blog updated with pictures and a few words. Seems to be like a novel some days :D

Ciao

Pretty early Spooky night

Well I know its a bitty early but Craig was up yesterday and we went over to one of our locations with a few pumpkins, a witches hat and a camera.

This is the first image showing what we got up to!
was bloody freezing yesterday but im glad I went out, I apologise again for my less than chirpy last blog update. Today I am on top of the world again yey! I managed to lift my spirits a bit yesterday.

This week should be a good one, went into town today and forgot everything I went into town to do. Met Rory for lunch though which was cool. Friday Im shooting hopefully if the rain stays off and on Sunday im going out with Si to create some colourful naked stuff.

Im REALLY looking forward to my Aberdeen trip, the apartment is gorgeous and the photographer whos booked to shoot me in it should get some really awesome pictures from the night.

Still got the Sunday free, waiting back to hear from a few people though. Ach I wont compain too much if I have the sunday off but it would be nice to fit in one more booking seeing as I will be up that way anyway.
adios you gorgeous people!!

Its just not my week!!

Ok so this week has been utterly rubbish, there has been good points but I think the bad out-weighs the good. Heres the run-down -

I will start with the bad -

I have not shot in over a week and its killing me,
was ment to be in the highlands for 3 days but person taking me cancelled on me because of car,
so I had to cancel a shoot I had booked up there,
the photographer up north now hates my guts and isnt being very nice about it,
was ment to be meeting Craig McGuire for lunch today - he cancelled on me.
People are beginning to stress me out and I want to go into hiding but cant afford a holiday..
I have to pay my N.I and cant afford it
I have to pay 2 other bills and cant afford it.
The power of pressing the 'pause' button for my bills doesnt work..
The Tax Credits people have been messing me about fantastically ..
royal mail isnt helping the communications between me and tax credit people..
My hairs a mess, I got an allergy to something so my legs look kinda crappy.
I spilt curry on a winning euro lottery ticket.. worried about it for hours
I have a shoot later this week but knowing the weather it will end up being added to the list of cancellations...

Ok now for the good points -
Tesco accepted the winning ticket so I got my share of £42
I had a lovley time camping on Friday over at glencoe,
popped in to see David Hunt, was great seeing him again :-)
One of my pictures won OMP - showcase picture of the day
Im still happy about being published
Visited Nana yesterday and the fun fair and won a teddy.
I have a shoot later this week... (fingers crossed)

I thought I had already blogged on my shoot from a couple of weeks ago with Demetrios Drystellas but looks like I forgot - or when browsing back through my updates I somehow missed his which would have been stupid of me so ive attached a couple of images which Demetrios shot of me, hes such a wicked person and a joy to work with!

For someone to swear more than me it really is an achievement.

Digital Photographer

Well just a little up-date.

Last week I had a surprising text from Dave Mc. Basically saying that one of his images of me was published in Digital photographer this month (Issue 88) - There was a feature on long exposure and Dave was one of the experts explaining how he does what he does, well done to him for the feature. Considering I have a habit of getting nude all the time being published with my wonderbra on in a magazine which you can pick up in most newsagents was a big thing for me!

Heres a picture of me with it, Look I even pointed to the image which is me..

here it is here

So yeah, thanks to Dave for taking it and making one of my little dreams come true.

Ive also been playing about with my camera recently yippeee..

Right thats about it

Location hunting with Craig Mcguire

Well Craig and I went out at the weekend location hunting, I had spotted a couple of little possibilities on a trip recently so Craig and I went to have a closer look, We now have a rather impressive collection of amazing locations.


We went out for lunch and diddied about pretty much because I wasnt feeling too chirpy but we did take one shot in our newly found boat house. Theres soo much more possibilities in this location and it will be good to go back when Im feeling better..

Thats me done for now

YAWNS
