Sunday 19th to Wednesday 22nd October

On these dates I will be in Manchester ready for the Lady Gaga concert I am going to attend on 21st!

Me and many of my pals will be camping out for one or maybe two nights, in the street at Victoria Station, and enjoying a crazy experience to see one of our idols. It's going to be absolutely amazing, and we're probably going to catch an extreme cold! but it's going to be so worth it. I'm so stoked to actually be within a meter or two of Lady Gaga, rather than seated many many meters away like I was for the Born This Way Ball.

Hopefully I am going to get a lot of pictures so I can upload some on here. But the main part of this holiday break is for me to unwind and totally let go and enjoy every minute of it all.

We're all going to meet so many people there, friends that we've known years and haven't met yet, and I cannot wait. These people have been the bane of my life for so long now, better than the ones that are within actual reach. Nothing could match up to the standards of long distance friendships. Thee best.

Promise to get some cool shots if I can manage without the blur, lets see what my Nikon Coolpix L830 can handle!

I'll be back soon xx

New Year and hopefully the real kick start to everything falling into place...

Hopefully in September I'll be going into University to study further into Photography and make it all seem "definite" I suppose, if that's what you want to call it!
I've actually had a great time using Facebook as my starting guide to getting myself 'out there' and getting nearly 1,000 followers/subscribers in a short space of time, is fantastic, for my hometown. (949 people to be exact haha) It just makes me feel fantastic. :)

Erm, so year a few of my favourite highlights to the past 6 months of being Facebook 'official' is, having the opportunity to take photos for two of the most popular nightclubs in Cleethorpes. (Nerve wracking I must say) but wouldn't say no to doing it again. Considering I'm shy, I felt I didn't do too bad at all.

A recent one was, ASDA Superstore refusing one of my clients to print my images off a disc I made her, and me having to write and sign a formal letter to say...you know..I gave her permission to do so. That situation just set everything in stone for me and made me feel like I was important and more so that they contained the images from her until they received the letter, haha. I'm this 4'11" woman, who looks about 12...it was a daunting experience, but I'm glad that happened, if that makes any sense?

And just basically to the advantage everyone has given me to take images of them or their children, is great whilst trying to get up with the top-photographers already out there. :)

Everything I've done in these past 6 months has helped me and my work blossom and progress, and I'm thankful and so grateful for it all.

Happy New Year.

I know it's been a while I'm sorry!

I've had so much on my plate and so many different websites to update I forget what exact accounts I have haha! :)

I've recently updated the following;

A lot, I know! and I forgot all about this place! :(

UPDATES:

Absolutely fuming about the 'new camera' situation. I never ended up getting it and the person still hasn't refunded my money and is being really ignorant about it and ignoring me! So had to contact all sorts of forces like local police and Citizens Advice, Trading Standards and Action Fraud!
So I'm so bogged down and stressed with that. :(

I went to see Jessie J November the 6th so I'll write about that in a new post!

And I have 4 photoshoots for the next few day so I'm gonna be BUSY AS FFF-- ;)

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

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! ^_^
