'Prom Princess' Update!

For the upcoming post titled 'Prom Princess' I have decided to split the shoot into sections/chapters/posts which ever you prefer to call them. I am doing this purely on the bases that there are so many photos that cover each area and feature of the shoot, so to put them into one post would be just to much. So as a final sneak peek, I have collected 3 images, for each of the chapters. Enjoy!

Bethan and Claire - Mini Session

You all know my sister Claire, well here friend Bethan or should I say Best Friend had previously on a numerous amount of occasions mentioned that she wanted a photo shoot by me with my sister Claire. I was happy to do so but just didn't have the time in between all my collage course work. But then when receiving my exam paper I just had the perfect opportunity for them to be my models and squeeze in a mini shoot.

They've been best friends for as long as I can remember and they've definitely grown to become beautiful young women. There friendship and love for each other reminds me of my own best friend and how how awesome it is to have that special person in your life that you can always turn to for help, guidance or even just a hug.

Just some things you might want to know about these girls:
- Both are aged 15 going on 16
- Both have been in the same schools from the age of 4
- Both love Harry Potter and The Twilight Saga
- Both enjoy being themselves
- Both strive to achieve their hopes and dreams
- Both are very dedicated to Katy Perry...
...and both are official Katy Cats (if you don't know who or what that means just drop by there facebook or twitter pages and ask them for yourself they might not bite but they'll certainly kill you with kindness)

In the midst of all that was going on during this mini shoot some how I managed to make a slight error which the girls neither noticed either. But we had a laugh when looking back at the photos. You will find that in the 2nd and 3rd photo it states 'Kitty Cats!' on the piece of paper which both girls are holding, This should actually say 'Katy Cat!'.

Enjoy!

Thanks for all your hard work and I loved working with you!

Bee Happy :D

Whilst in the editing process of Bethan's and Claire's mini shoot, I came across this image of a bumble bee that I'd shot in one of our small breaks. Appearing to look quite restless or just simply sun bathing, this little guy faces trials just like any of us.

So next time when your feeling down, tired or just having an unpleasant day. Just take a break, think of the bee and put a smile on your face because after all we're all in this together.

This photo is the original and was just to perfect to edit. 

Just a little hint that you don't always need the power and effects of Photoshop.

I seem to relate to bee's: Busy Bee

A place...

There is a place where I feel I can escape and envelope myself in. Other than in the presence of the people I love and dearly care for, other than the beats and throbbing sounds of music, other than the fictional universe I tend to get myself lost in.I try to find the time in which I can just explore the world and just be at one with myself, despite what maybe going on in my life. I believe no ones life is perfect and mine isn't exactly the best, but we all need our special places and mine is through the lens of my camera. 

My learning and love for photographing the world around me has vastly grown over the past two years and if it wasn't for my best friend Katie Ellis, my sister Claire Johnson, and my parents I don't know where I'd be. It's not because of their ongoing support or their strengthening words in times of need, it's because of who they are and what effect they have on me. They are my light at the end of the tunnel.

Anyway enough seriousness. These photos were taken yesterday whilst venturing out in the rain, with an umbrella in one hand and camera in the other. I braved the weather and captured the rain droplets on these radiant flowers and plants.

The Little Knights - Part 3

Finally we made it to the park, the boys went on the round about doing all kinds of things on it. After they got bored on that we then moved to a giant log which had recently been cut down, evidently there were wood shavings and lots of hidden lady birds. As the boys played on the log I snapped away catching some funny faces of the cheeky monkeys :) Enjoy!
