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.

As I Told You...

I was going to write how Jessie J went and include some images. :)

IT WAS AMAZING. Heck, she's so funny and down to earth! I've been to her concert before 2 year ago and she hasn't changed a bit like most celebs do! It was ace.

Although she was good, I didn't get THAT many photos to be honest. In fact, I only liked about 17 of all the images I took! But I'm not fussed at the mo, I was too busy having a good time and letting my hair down for once in a LONG time.

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-- ;)

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
