Good afternoon Little Ones! How have you all been? I've just received my outcomes from a shoot I did on Tuesday 13th February, and I'm so pleased! This was my first "sexy" shoot, I never thought I'd be given this opportunity, or have the confidence, but I did it, and loved every single moment. If you want to read about my personal experience, and look at the photographs, be my guest, have a scroll!

ALSO I EDITED ALL THE BLACK AND WHITE IMAGES, THE COLOURED VERSIONS ARE TRULY MIA MARKINS WORK, THAT'S THE WAY SHE WANTS YOU TO VIEW HER PHOTOGRAPHS.

OVERALL OBJECTIVE:

Mia Markin (the photographer) had an overall objective of what she wanted to achieve, her initial concept was female form, Mia wanted to showcase several ways in which females are presented. 

In this specific shoot, her idea was to place me in a natural surrounding and mirror what I do in the morning, lighting remained crucial as she wanted to capture several shadows which enhanced female form. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't forgiving, some of the images didn't make the final cut, as it was too bright and wasn't what she was looking for. 

Although, her other main focus was females' key attributes: breast, collar-bone, hips and bottom, as portrayed in the first image, the main emphasis is my collar-bone and cleavage. These features 

differentiates women from men, and seeing that this module is based on female form; Mia thought to portray the key features of a women, and photograph these elements differently. 

HOW I FELT BEFORE AND AFTER THE SHOOT:

Exceedingly nervous. Evidently, I'm no stranger to photo shoots, I've grown accustomed to several photographers taking images of me, but never in my underwear. If someone had asked me to do that a year ago, I would have laughed in their face.

Mia made me feel so relaxed, we were laughing throughout, which helped my nerves subside. Something else I should mention, Mia was completely content, especially when I felt anxious about a particular position,  although after a while it became natural, I felt at ease with her and didn't care that she could see me in my underwear.  

Our passion for  photography helped break the ice, I put forward ideas which she followed through with, and others not so much; but we were experimenting, besides this was her piece of work; I just helped her portray her overall image. 

When it was time to wrap up, gratitude and pleasure engorged my anxiety, I was so pleased that I managed to go through with the idea of being photographed in my underwear. It's something that I've always wanted to do, but NEVER had the confidence to actually go through with it.

On a daily basis I head over to Instagram and wonder, 'why don't I look like that?' It's so unhealthy to compare yourself to other individuals, but it happens. This photo shoot for a few moments made me feel fantastic, and that I didn't need to compare myself to others. 

WHAT DO I THINK OF THE IMAGES?

Initially, when I knew I was going to be photographed in underwear, I thought I would hate the way I looked, but Mia took the images in such a way,  it complimented my assets, without revealing too much. I adore Mia's work, and I can't wait to work with her in the near future. 

Mia has a natural talent when it comes to photography, I pondered on an Instagram post which made me fall in love with her work. She kindly came all the way down from Norwich to my home town ... Which takes 2/3 hours. She's an amazing person, if you ever get the chance to work with her, consider yourself grateful. 

Right Little Ones, this is the end of my blog post, I hope you enjoyed the read as well as the photography! If you want to see Mia's work, click the link below, that takes you directly to her portfolio! 

If you want to see more photo shoots please do let me know! I love you all so very much, and I will see you tomorrow in a book review! 

Remember to stay safe and stay tuned! :) x x x

Good evening Little Ones! While my rock-cakes are sitting in the oven, I thought that I would cuddle up to my computer and write a classical blog post.
Although, I'm keeping on the abstract trend, meaning what you are about to read, you've never seen before, (on this blog anyway). It'll consist of me showcasing three different outfits for the winter season, I LOVED doing this, but at first I was extremely anxious. A LOT of patience went into this piece of work,  and I'm ever so grateful for my photographer.
Now enough typing, roll on the montage!

OUTFIT ONE | COMFY CASUAL |:

 

WHAT I'M WEARING:

• Zara cardigan-size 8 
• Zara stripy cropped jumper-size 6
• Nike dri-fit running legging-size 6
• Adidas Originals XPLR RK-Junior size 4

Firstly, I'm all about the comfy lifestyle, 50% of the time, you will catch me wearing leggings with something oversized. But I would like to think it looks stylish? Anyhow, I love the stripes, it adds depth to the outfit, brings it to life ... Otherwise I'll look like a small bin-bag. Whereas my shoes were a recent purchase for my old job, I was on my feet 24/7, so I decided to pick up some new footwear, let's be real, wearing brogues wasn't cutting it. I even managed to save 50%, due to the fact I have tiny feet and can still get away from shopping in the junior section ... Don't judge!
Alongside, I paired these with my beloved Nike dri-fit leggings, I've had these for around a year? And I still love them to death! They are super comfy, durable and go with anything, I wore these on my 20th birthday and paired it with a lacy top; no one even noticed! (Or they did, and didn't want to call me out).
With this sort of outfit, I don't have a care in the world, it's super casual, rock it around town, food-shopping, or a movie day. It's perfect for winter, as the jumper keeps all my heat in, while giving me some character. As the old saying goes, black does go with anything, and it keeps you toasty, (absorbing all the heat). Lastly, you can mix this up with anything, so if you are in a rush, bish-bash-bosh, and you are out the door. 

OUTFIT TWO | SMART CASUAL |:

WHAT I'M WEARING:

• Topshop stripy blazer
• Topshop orange cami
• Levi navy 721 High Rise Skinny
• Clark leather boot heels

Now, the other 50% I'm wearing something like this ... What can I say, I love my Levi jeans, and blazers, it's my stable look, and I rock it. Anything bad about that? Now, time to deconstruct this masterpiece, overall looking at this outfit, I managed to not only interject a flash of colour, but pattern.
I could have gone plain everywhere, but that's a massive no in my book, NEVER go plain, and NEVER go all pattern ... Just no. The plain aspects of this outfit, would be my black Clark boots, Levi jeans, and orange cami shirt. All which coincide with one another, the shoes are so comfy, which you wouldn't think with a heal, but I can go 6 hours plus with these bad-boys. Again, my jeans I've had for a year, and I'm obsessed with them, in my opinion they look better worn in,m when they look brand new, they are too pristine.
As for my top, it's too cold to wear without anything attached, which is why I paired it with my stripy blazer, it really ties the look together, and because it's a dark colour it goes with pretty much everything. This is something I would wear if I was meeting one of my friends, or just wanted to dress up a bit while visiting Starbucks; it's perfect for a little glam, without having to spend hours on planning an outfit. 

OUTFIT THREE | GOING OUT |:

WHAT I'M WEARING:

• Asos black lacy shirt-tall collection
• Levi black 721 high rise skinny 
• Asos triangle black bra
• New look lace stilettos

Now, this is something I don't throw on often, it's how my outfits would look if I was to go on a night out. It's sexy, without showing everyone I have a vigina, I personally don't feel comfortable wearing exceedingly short skirts, or dresses ... Not to be frowned upon, I admire their confidence, I just haven't got there yet. Yes, it's all black, no surprise there, but black worn in the right environment is perfect, plus it looks great! So flattering and endearing, EVERYONE looks good in black. The shirt is something I normally wouldn't go for, initially when I saw it online I didn't think it would suit me ... Me and thrills don't get on, but in this case, I love the originality, and stepping out of my comfort zone boosted my confidence. I paired this with my black Levi jeans, as they are tight fitted, which shows off my legs, but is slightly hidden by the sheer shirt; which introduces a mystery element.
To tie this look together, I added lace boots, which looks magnificent, and I didn't pay an extortionate amount of money, they were from New Look! All in all, I really love this outfit, and I can't wait to put this to the test on my 21st Birthday in February. 

This is is Little Ones! I hope you enjoyed this blog post! Being behind the scenes and knowing how much hard work went into this was beyond amazing. I defiantly will be doing more of these! Not on a regular basis, but coincided with the seasons throughout the year. Although if you want occasional ideas for: Birthday, Christening, or baby shower, let me see what I can throw together. 

Anyhow, I'm heading off to edit a video! I love you all so very much, and I will see you again tomorrow with a life update!

Remember to stay safe and stay tuned! :) x x x
