I've recently visited my hairdresser and this is my latest hair color. I'm in love!! This has to be one of my favourite colors as yet, I think I prefer the softer colors over full boldness. I really love my hairdresser and completely trust her. I leave my hair completely up to her (though I occaisionally make some suggestions) from now on we will strip my hair back to get ready for shootfest and the ball!! We are going to do something very exciting and special so next session it will be preparation. How exciting!!

This is one of my very early photoshoots when I first started modelling. I had this idea of a cool photoshoot costume for a long time. This is also the first photoshoot I did with my now good friend and amazing photographer snipershots! We were both starting out around this time, I just started modelling and he started taking photos. He actually 'snipered' me I.e headhunted me. I was selling my art prints at a random market that he was taking photos of so he approached me and asked me if I wanted to model for him. I had done a few photoshoots before this and was slowly building a portfolio so I agreed! This is the magical results and the rest is friendship history 😘 he is now one of Australia's best photographers so I feel blessed that I get to catch up with him and shoot every months or so. You never know where a road or a chance encounter will take you!! So keep an open heart, hands and mind as you never know if you don't push yourself out of your comfort zone. Make up and hair, and styling (costume) by me. Also I won this cute little boutique latex jacket from my first ever modelling photo competition. Unfortunately I've had to sell it since then since I needed the cashola for art supplies ... But at least I have these awesome photos as a reminder. Xx💋 stay beautiful everyone

I try to keep my photoshoots as varied as possible. Even though I tend to do alternative modelling I try to mix it up as I don't want to be typecasted. Also I like the challenge of trying to create different characters and attitudes. I like pretending, and dressing up. So here is an urban /street / skater shoot I did a few months ago on a freakishly cold and rainy day on Melbourne city building rooftop. It was a carpark that had been closed off. Half of this shoot was topless so it was interesting to the onlookers staring at us from their apartments. I will upload the naked / topless ones soon I just have to organise them. Much love. Attitude and such, kicking it with my mind and new photographer friend.

I can always be so indecisive when it comes to picking the selfie or photo I like best. Partially from my own insecurities but also believe it or not there is an art to taking a good selfie like there is taking a good photo. The perfectionist side in me kicks in and takes over. Luckily I have had experience in modelling and photography and through experience have learnt a few simple but effective tricks. Always use the best lighting possible and the most flattering angles. We are always most critical and judgemental of ourselves and as awkward creatures we have spent countless hours staring at ourselves, so trust yourself sometimes. You know what angles and poses make you look best, but also don't be afraid to experiment for you never know... You may discover your next favourite pose! Or at least keep some interest in the variety of photos you use, whether on social media or elsewhere. But the bonus of the SG website is that I can just upload most of them at once!!! Hence eliminating the hmmmm factor. Most of you look at these photos and see a girl that you are either attracted too or not attracted too (which is fine too, we all have different tastes) but for me it is so much more than looking good naked, it's the art of the camera, tricking the lense with angles and lighting but also expressing and capturing the moment ... Well for me anyone is an art form. Sorry I didn't mean to ramble over a few photos, it's just the art nerd in me I suppose. Also I managed to fit into a child's hello kitty top which is always a confidence booster (fitting into kids clothing) meow meow meow
