Sunday 7th November...

                             9.00am
Today is the day of my shoot. I am quite stressed but I'm really excited, and most of all prepared! I am going to pick my model up at 10.15am and start on her hair and make-up, I told her to leave her natural hair and have no make-up on to give me a blank canvas to work on.

After The Shoot
The hair and make-up took longer than I expected but I was happy with the result as It was just as I wanted it to be. I had previously practised working with her hair so I knew what to expect when working with her hair on the day. I had images of what I wanted the hair and makeup to look like beside me so I knew what I was working towards. She told me she really loved the look I had given her after I had finished making her over. I gave her the outfit I wanted her to wear and then tweaked it when it was on to give the look I wanted for the shoot.

I ran through the poses with her again like I had previously done with her on the Friday
night, just to make her feel at ease with what I was expecting from the day. She told me she was really excited which was great for me as I knew she was then going to enjoy the day and work to the best of her ability.

The weather was beautifully sunny which was how I pictured for the day. We got to the location for the shoot, and I tied the 6 balloons around her wrist and tweaked her ready for the shoot. It went really well and I found her extremely photogenic giving me great results for all my photographs.

Over-all the shoot took around 4 and a half hours including a quick coffee break to make sure I gave my model a rest to keep her enthusiastic. I showed her all the images I had taken of her and she said she really liked them which was a big confidence boost. I'm really glad she enjoyed the day as much as I did and I am really pleased with the results I got.
