My 22nd Birthday Present

I recently celebrated my 22nd Birthday! My friend Meili had planned a suprise for me, in which I literally had no idea what to expect. I travelled up to Canterbury to visit her at her University house, where she whisked me of to the West End in London, and we arrived...outside Her Royal Majesty Theatre to watch Phantom of the Opera. Which I can only describe as 'wow'. Im not the theatres biggest fan but this one is a must see and really blew me away, I even found myself shed a tear at one part, which came as a good laugh to my friend Meili who was with me.
Here are just some images which takes me back to that amazing, unforgettable perfomance and night.

Help for a friend

I was recently approached by a friend who asked for my help with organising and setting up a photo-shoot. We decided that our old college would be an ideal place to shoot, this was because my friend (Tom) approached me a day before he wanted to do the shoot, so finding somewhere which would be easy in terms of health and safety and the controlability.
We arrived and were planning on looking for a model on the day, when we went into our old classroom we found about 100 manakins all lined up. We both then looked at each other and realised this could work. These are just some of the results we got from a happy accident!!

It's been a while!

So it's coming to the end of summer and after a busy and action packed summer i'm now getting ready to get back to uni and to finish my third year!
So thought I'd just update what i been doing.

One of my main missions for this summer was to help my friend who was getting married, I was asked by her to create sash's which were to be worn by the bridesmaids. I was also asked to do the bridesmaids hair for the big day!

Here is an image of the bride and her bridesmaids! Looking fabulous!

(The sash's are the gold peices around the waist.)
