My Best Job

This is a really tricky one and I have decided on two. Both these jobs were for the same company (Boden). Boden shoots are always a lot of fun as they are often on location! 


I have decided to do two separate posts - one for each job. 


The first shoot I did for Boden was when I was eight. I modeled for Mini Boden and it was probably the first 'on location' shoot I've ever done. And it was in France. I remember my mum telling me that I was going to France with her to do a job and I was so excited!

picnic time!

We took the plane from the airport and met with all the other models and their mums in France. We traveled to the little hotel that we were staying in and we went down to the beach. It was on this job I met Lily - one of my close friends who even now I am still in touch with! 

We took the taxi the next morning to a huge house with a massive garden where we spent the day shooting. Well, most of the day didn't really feel like we were shooting at all. It felt like I was on holiday. The weather was beautiful and for most of the day we were allowed to explore the beautiful house and gardens. For lunch, the crew had set up a little picnic table with sandwiches and cupcakes for everyone. When we were actually shooting, we did a whole range of different things. I had to run around a pond, sit on the bonnet of a car, walk a dog, play a trumpet, and hold a tea party. It felt like a massive party!

We spent two days shooting and then we had a morning to ourselves before we took the plane home again. We took a boat out to an island and had lunch there. It was amazing! 

When it was time to go home, I was so upset. I knew I had been so lucky to get the job and that it was a huge privilege. I was really grateful for the opportunity and I couldn't believe all the fun that I had had.

NEWSFLASH!

Apologies for not posting in ages, everything seems to have been really crazy just now. Since I last posted, it's been pretty quiet on the modelling front, but I've still managed a couple of bits here and there.

The pictures have just gone up for a job I did at the beginning of December for the Littlewoods campaign, 'New Year New You'. It was a really fun job and I got to pose head to toe in Nike! I didn't do a great deal of pictures but the ones I did came out really nicely. It's always lovely to see a nice picture of you up on a big website like Littlewoods! It had been quite difficult to get one of the pictures, as I had to jump and the photographer had to take it so that I was in the air; not pulling a stupid face; or making the clothes look awful! When it takes longer than you expect to get a picture done, it's sometimes hard to remember that it's not necessarily your fault, there are loads of things that need to be right before they can take a great picture. When they did get it, they were really pleased with it and it felt amazing to know that you had done alright and that the crew had got what they wanted.

Updates

These ones wont be used!!!

Just before Christmas, my sister and I had to have our update photos taken for our agency. Updates need taking every year so that a client knows exactly what you look like, i.e. if you have had a hair cut or your face has changed a lot since last year. My mum decided to make a mini break out of it as my sister had a casting in London that weekend too. We stayed in London and had a great time visiting the Christmas markets, shopping, and seeing the lights. When it was time to get the photos done, we walked to the studio and met with the photographer and manager who we've met with before. We both had to wear a plain white top and jeans, so that anyone looking at our pictures isn't drawn to any logos, prints, or beads that we are wearing. Both of us had our hair done nicely, but naturally. It is really important to keep your hair quite natural for your update shoots because this is what the client expects to see on a job. If you had your hair curled for your pictures, every job/casting you do, you will have to curl your hair. We had the pictures done: one close up, one full length, and a couple of ones together, to go on our profiles. It was great fun and my new pictures look really different to my old ones - I look so much older!
