Once again, I get a horrible shock when my alarm wakes me up. I made the mistake of going out and staying up late the night before, as I can't resist London at night time!
I have a shower and sort out my hair. Put on sun glasses so cover up the fact I have no make up on. I' sorry, but girls, don't you agree going out without make up is hell? Anyway, it was a lovely day and walking to tower bridge was beautiful. I was wearing Jeans, so over-heating a bit. However, the dress down thing is vital for modelling, and so is bringing a pair of jeans, that's a tip for any of you guys going on a shoot!
I meet up with the four photographers, make-up artist, and two other models, what a group! After giving everyone kisses and hello's we set off down the stairs.
We get permission to use a café's table, outside, thank god! and start the make up. Whilst the first girl; Aisling is having her make-up done, Alicia and me are taken off to the gardens to do some shooting, with no-make up too much horror. After five minutes, we get a guy coming and telling us because we're professionals we need permission to shoot, and have to pay £500.
We stop that and Alicia gets her make-up done. Finally it was my turn. Unfortunately, due to the heat the make-up artists make-up melted. She is going to have to buy new make up, what a disaster! Around 2 hours had passed by now, so there was pressure to start shooting.
We head off to a little stone beach and rails, a really good shooting place on of the photographers found. Firstly, the three of us, were posing on stairs. The composition was organised, and we got some good shots. We were wearing jeans, heels, and tops chosen for us individually, as well as some funky hats. Apart from Alicia's hat blowing into the Thames, and rapidly saved by one of the photographers, it was a good shoot.
We then moved into tiny London cobbled streets. We used most things to pose; including door frames, bars, walls and rails. We achieved some good results and had a change. I got given black linen shorts and white shirts, and the other two, white linen shorts and black top. This was because I am 5'7 and they are both 5'10, I'm still wishing on my lucky stars to have a growth spurt.
We then changed into maxi dresses, chosen for our looks. I had a brown-y orange one. We worked with these and Aisling went for another shoot. So, at 4.30pm it was lunch time, and boy, was I glad. We ate and chatted, all of us getting on very well. The photographers were the best yet; they were amazing to work with. I really want to work with these photographers again. I couldn't have asked for nicer, professional, and better photographers. There work is outstanding.

They run this site, so people, I urge you to find them and work with them.
Then we went and did some more shooting in and around tower bridge. After a day that felt like fun than work, good images, and everyone happy we said goodbye.
I would definitely work with the photographers again. They were amazing people and I am still in contact with them regularly.
Once again, I retreat home, hoping a massage is in order when I get home...
Sometimes you just have to wait and see!
