Photo Shoot with ELLE Magazine

I was a bag of nerves all morning.  Today was going to be one of my biggest days so far in respect of moving forward with publicity.

I was booked in to meet ELLE magazine for 1pm in Stock Newington at a show house.  I made my way to my mums to pick her up to come with me there was no way I was going to be able to do this alone.

As a child I'd modelled for Bruce & Brown modelling agency but at the age of 12 you have no fear!  Id featured in a couple of music videos, catwalks magazines and more but having to go on a photo shoot with one of the biggest magazines around I was terrified.

Mum and I arrived early.  We waited for everyone to turn up from the make up artist to the photographer, stylist and more.  Everyone was so welcoming and friendly.  The house was really beautiful very open with diverse surroundings from modern to old throughout.

I was sent up to the changing room where there were rails of clothes and accessories for me to try on.  We had some lunch and then we were good to go.

All the clothing was designer I felt like a star trying them all on!  I went in to the room for my first shoot my legs were shaking uncontrollable and my stomach we churning all over the place.  I had people in the back ground improvising the moves I needed to make as I copied them twirling around with the wind machine at my hear I slowly began to enjoy it.  By the end of the shoot Id changed about five or six times and moved location around the house three times.

We didn’t finishing shooting until 6pm.  I was amazed by looking at the pictures that they took that it was actually me in the picture its amazing what good makeup and clothes can do for you.

After the week I had, had this was most definitely an uplifting experience.

I was supposed to go out for a meal with one of my ex's tonight and his friends but that fell through, it was a good job actually because my stomach had been playing havoc with me all day it was becoming slightly embarrassing!  Instead I went straight home and had an early night.
