Update

Woah been so busy lately!

Firstly, I got a job!
It's at Eternal Beauty and I sell this cosmetics face lift stuff that's really really good.

I did a photoshoot yesterday at ACP (Australian Centre for Photography) on Oxford Street, and had 2 lovely models and one lovely photographer.

Got another one today... going to be 30 photographers there!

Still haven't got the pics from the last couple of shoots.... wish they'd hurry up haha, I want to see those pics!

Anyway, off to get ready for this shoot!

Excitement overload!

I did the makeup for a photoshoot last night of a glamour-queen packing for a holiday to/around Australia. I had a beautiful Model Stephanie Jeanes http://www.modelmayhem.com/ and a lovely photographer named Ruchika. The shoot was so fun, pics will be in my hands in a couple of weeks.... can't wait that long!

I'm also excited about the free travel from Sydney to Coffs Harbour (6/7 hr drive) for the TAFE Awards on the 6th June, where I've been hinted at that I'm recieveing a MASSIVE award, so stay tuned!

Show and Tell

Impulse Buy of the Day:

Yay I bought a giant pink glass diamond today! It's from a nice gift shop at Chatswood Westfield. I've wanted one for ages, not sure why, but I'm so glad I have one now haha.





Fiction book I'm currently reading:

"The Longest Trip Home" by John Grogan
(the guy who also wrote Marley & Me, if you haven't read it yet (no, seeing the movie doesn't count) then shame on you)





It was on sale at Target for way less than half price, but I have no idea why because so far this book is just as good as the last one.
I am a complete sucker for bargains, so naturally I bought the book, having no clue about what it was even going to be about. And I'm so glad I did. I won't give anything away right now, but I suggest you borrow it, buy it, google it, whatever.
Trust me it's worth it.

Update:

So anyway, I'm doing the makeup for a Fashion Shoot on Saturday, so excited because I've been so damn busy lately I haven't had time to do a shoot for ages (: Stay tuned for photos next week!

Flowers & Life

I just found out I like photographing flowers! Too bad i start this new love affair as its nearing winter - and all the plants are starting to wither haha.

Here are some photos I managed to get the other day, some flowers are half dead/eaten and others are still showing signs of life. I enjoyed working with what I had. And the animals roaming around the backyard (: I know they're not the best photos you've ever seen in your life, for me, they are just simple and full of joy.

Shot with my boyfriends $1,000 Sony Alpha a300 ... on Auto.
Haha - I have no idea how to use it.
