Its been a few weeks now, but finally I am getting around to
writing about this (I blame the whiplash for my procrastination). Back in May I
entered a competition on a facebook page that I liked to win a free photo shoot
with free makeup. Never in a million years did I think that I had a chance of
winning, but the thought of having some nice photos of myself was a good enough
reason to put myself out there and give it a go. It was also a competition
about inner beauty so I thought maybe I had a 5% chance of winning. Incase you hadn’t
realised before, although it is thinly veiled by a confident sense of humour, I
don’t have the highest self esteem - SHOCK HORROR! Like all women, I don’t think
I’m particularly pretty so the chance to have professional makeup and photos
done and come close to looking beautiful for a day made me just a tad bit
excited.
Back to the story, in the end I won! Albeit because of
a lack of entries and the competition ended early, but let’s just assume (for my confident’s
sake) that I still would have won. Anyway, the reason why I won is not important,
I got to spend a day pretending to be a model with the wonderful
Kimberley and Rebecca. It was so much fun!
I have to admit I was a bit paranoid at first. Being the
centre of attention, especially in front of a camera, is not exactly my cup of
tea. However, after a while I really got into it. Once I stopped thinking about
my insecurities and let go of my inhibitions I forgot about the camera in
a way and just got lost in the process. We got some amazing shots and for once
I actually really love the photos of me.
Thanks so much ladies for making me feel special for the
day!
