Hard To Be Wise

Okay so last Wednesday I told you about a photoshoot I was doing of a bunch of lads druing band practice, one of which I knew from a long time ago, and it went really well!

They were all so lovely, and although their style of music is by far not my cup of tea in regards to Genre, I loved it. It was absolutely amazing. Everyone's playing part was perfect, and although they said after the song they finished practicing that that particular time they sang it was "Sh*t" it wasn't it was actually wonderful, if that really was their idea and sounding of rubbish, then they must be awesome when they have it spot on.

Outstanding performance and day. I really enjoyed it and hope to see them again soon for a shoot in the studio or on location. :)

Below are just two of the images I took. You can find more at my photography page. :)

So I haven't been on here in a while!!

So, a short update is needed!
I haven't been on here in a while because I've actually done so much stuff, and I've been way too busy to even write anything!

What's more...my new camera hasn't even come yet which is making me sad a bit :( haha. But hopefully that will get sorted out today. If worse comes to worse...I'll be £200 well off again anyway, which I could REALLY do with right now! But I'm going to stay positive and hope that Royal Mail are just taking the pee a bit. -.- it's been a good couple of weeks now though so I'm starting to become impatient.

On the other hand, I'm doing a photoshoot with my friend (and model) Jess, on Thursday afternoon in Cleethorpes...and hopefully the weather will stay dry otherwise it's just going to go to ploppp. :) but that should be lots of fun!

I'll write about last Wednesdays photoshoot of Hard To Be Wise, in a separate post including a few images!!! :D

Pretty Excited for the near future. :)

On Wednesday I've got a photoshoot of a band involving one of my good pals, Dean Garrod who recently sang solo at Grimsby Pride 2013 (You were amazing by the way)! Which is set up from as part of a Music course at a local college located not that far from me. :)

Happy birthday to Dean today as well, hope you had an amazing day mate! :)


I'm certainly hoping that we'll get some great shots from Wednesday, I'm feeling pretty positive so definitely looking forward to seeing the outcome images! :) Will definitely be finding time to put some up on here. There's so much to write about and show you, I'll still be adding photos from a year back on here in close weeks to come. I really wish I started this blog sooner, I love writing and ranting about things way too much for my own good!

Also, I'm getting quite a few shoots booked in for end of this month and currently got 3 to sort out for the end of November! Two of which are going to be Christmas photoshoots with little kiddies! So should be adorable! ;D


Exciiiiited much! :D

Updates soooon! Still haven't got my new camera yet, so review is on the waiting list! No worries. :)

Chat soon. Sam

A shot of my Girlfriend. :)

So, it's mine and the other half's 2 year anniversary tomorrow :)

Nawh, just seems so unreal, two years...really is a long time! It's flown by for me, and feels so much longer than it has been! Not that that's a bad thing at all! I love being in the relationship I'm in, she's rather bloooody wonderful! ;) :D

But yeah, we're being all cute and making our own anniversary cards tonight and stuff :D so should be nice! And then tomorrow all the other cutesy stuff happens ;) :D I can't wait.


Urghhh! I love you so much! <3

I know I literally just wrote about this in my previous post like ten minutes ago....but

This is like a whole new step up!

I'm feeling really confident with all this photography stuff I'm doing. Recently I've really really kitted myself out, and I'm stoked to use everything. :D

Laura bought me a portable backdrop set with black white and green drops, which are amazing by the way :D we used them for when I did a photoshoot of her...SO HAPPY.

I bought a new flower petal head hood for the lens for outdoor shots with the dazzling sun this winter and autumn months!

I've been using my light diffusers a lot more for effects n shhiiiizle!

And now, a whole new camera body altogether, which is debating me after some time of getting used to the new one and trying it out n stuff... selling my Canon Rebel 1000D?! Unsure AS OF YET, but I know I'll definitely be selling one of the lens' because whats the point in having two of the same, ey. :) especially a careful person like me...I doubt I'll be needing it as back up. (do.not.jinx.yourself.sam.EEK)

I really feel like I'm moving forward with this. :)

Got a band photoshoot coming up on the 16th of this month, so I'm really hoping I get the new camera and test it all out before then, it's like just under 2 weeks away, so I don't see why not. :) AAAH. :)

Can't believe what just happened!

Just managed to bag myself a Canon 600D for £190.....are we forrrr f**kin' real! :O
Been looking for DAYS for a bargain and I just happen to come to a site and think.."oh yeah I'll look on here just incase not that it'll be any different to eBay like," and omggg. YES, there it was.

So I'm pretty buzzing right now, so chuffed :D

And also, that means I'll have two of the same lens(my other camera has the same 18mm-55mm lens so ofc I don't need two) so will end up selling that, so really I've got it for LOADS cheaper than I would have initially done. Soo glad I searched around. On eBay they're ranging from £289.99 to £600! :) jfgbkjbgk. I'll have to make a review when I have a play with it! ^_^

On eBay...

On eBay there's a camera lens and body that I want so bad. It's on a bid, and has 2 days left for people to bid and I'm absolutely wetting myself with anticipation.

OMFG I NEED THIS CAMERA SO MUCH AND OMG WHY SO CHEAP AAAAH.

I'm actually going insane. If I don't win it, I'll be so gutted! Gaah, just thinking about it makes me upset already haha!

It really annoys me!

When I'm at work and people take over me packing the bags for them, and they're really efffing snotty about it! Like wtf man, I'm offering to pack your sh*t, and it's partly my job anyway so just let me get on with it? No need to be rude. Fair enough if you say "It's okay I'll pack if you like", but no! Snatching or roughly dragging the bag away as I go to pick it up. Come on, are we serious?

Or they're constantly checking the screen to see whether I've reduced something for them, like HELLO YES I CAN SEE THE REDUCE STICKER xoxoxox, jeeeeeze -.- way to make me feel like an idiot? And point it out at me in a voice as if to say "you usually forget to reduce" attitude, and it just really peeeeeees me off, like OMG go away.

Gggggggrrrr!

I've wanted to write this post all day!

*releeease!* aaah. :)

An image from yesterday that I took. :)

Hi guys!

Haven't updated or posted in a couple of days, but here's an insight as to what I've been up to!

Yesterday I managed to go into the University in my area, with a friend and get into the studio to do some shots! Now it's been a good year and half since I've last been in the studio, which was in college so I was so excited!

Anyway! We had a lot of fun and I got some absolutely lovely shots of Jess, I'm really impressed, so will be taking advantage of her offers in future! The images will be perfect for commercial use I must say! :)

Here's a cheeky one! (Excuse the pun haha)

Also! I had my first driving lesson since I had my little blip collision on the road 3 weeks ago, safe to say I was pooiiiing it ALL day! The new car threw me a bit, but by the end of the lesson I was back to normal again. My heart was pounding at MANY stages, but I guess that was bound to happen.
My instructor explained how I was nothing like this even on my very first lesson I did ever! On my very first lesson ever I was so confident and rearing to go! And this lesson I...I wasn't a nervous wreck as such, but I was alot more aware and paranoid about things without the "f**k it let's do it" approach as I've had for all my other lesson! But I'm pleased with how it went...could have been horrific, but I got there in the end! Roll on next lesson! :D

Hopefully other things will be going forward now I've had my month of mishaps. :)

Start of StopTober! ;) bring it.
