Wow, what a day.

Had another fantastic shoot with Alexandra at Byron's Pool (it's a really lovely place if anyone wants to go and see it). The theme was all water nymph-y and our makeup artist Becky captured the feel amazingly with all this blue makeup on my face and false eyelashes. Really stood out. I felt very mysterious!
The costume was this wonderful long nightdress type thing (another Ebay find by alexandra...i don't know how she manages to find such amazing clothes all over the place) and we did a few shots on one of the many jetty's along the side of the pool before I quite literally 'took the plunge' and got into the water. At first I was only in up to chest height and I kind of avoided putting my arms in for a bit since it was so cold... but then we decided to do some ANTM style floating shots which called for almost full submersion (except my face obviously). It was so much fun to have the water as a kind of prop, and it seemed much less cold after a while.
We had a few people watching us and commenting a bit while we walked a bit further back to get more sun, which was endearing, and then we did shots with this huge piece of lace material that alexandra found in oxfam (like i said, it's a talent) which was fun to play around with but kept sinking!
All in all it was a lovely lovely shoot and a lovely day and luckily alexandra's car was so warm that I didn't feel the cold for very long - and I also had a boyfriend waiting for me with tea, a dressing gown, and copious amounts of both biscuits and CBBC. <3
There should also be some behind the scenes pictures coming up...

All the best,
