A tale of love conquering the whole world…

I am deeply sorry for the lack of updates lately (for those of you who do read this!) Things have been so, so busy and I felt like my head hasn’t even been screwed on the right way round! Thankfully things are beginning to quieten down so I can think again and get this blog updated!

So what’s been happening? What hasn’t happened?! If I went into everything we would be here until 2015 and I really don’t want to do that to you.

A Polish company stole my image and has made £20,000 revenue from it by putting it on shirts. So I find myself in a nice legal twist with them and my dear solicitor who is doing everything he can to make this quick and easy for us. Thankfully Poland joined the EU a few years ago meaning they abide to EU laws which I am covered by which is why they are now in a lot of deep trouble and can’t wriggle out of this one. Tomorrow my solicitor faxes them my numbers of compensation and rates I require for all their damage and deviousness. We shall see how that one goes down.

Nathan and I celebrated his birthday with pizza and light up balloons. We partied and danced and just had the best of fun. He’s all grown up now but I’ll catch him up in a month’s time. Eep. It’s so funny to think we’ve known each other since we were 16 and now we’re 20. We really have grown up together and I couldn’t ask for more. His work has been hectic, but as always he has coped and blown the socks of it all.

I spent last week in Bournemouth which was beautiful. 30 degrees every day and we’re now looking at a drought this Summer. Haven’t had one since 2003 when they even cut people’s water supplies off. Scary, scary. It hit 32 degrees today and it’s only heading up from here. We’re going to see rain on Thursday! First time in 2 weeks. Sorry, no offence but I do get very sick of people always calling England the rainiest place on Earth because it obviously isn’t. And I am loving the heat! I met a fellow photographer Olivia Bell and we spent a morning on the beach shooting and getting very wet in the sea. It was heaps of fun all the same.

I have been so busy with shoots lately. I was recently published which opened many more doors for me. It’s all about getting your foot in the door which is never ever easy. I did my biggest shoot yet in a graveyard 2 weeks ago. It was very scary and we were all squealing – even the men! Below is a shot of the few of us who headed back to the same station.

I promise to get round to doing a sole photo post very soon with some shots of my new work. Right now it’s getting late and I am absolutely pooped and need to hit the hay. My poor fan is working over time so I guess I need to give it a break for now. [:

Until next time Nakitt readers!

Sun prickles on my skin. Pollen dances through my hair. Grass strokes in between my toes. The air is thick with love and the light is golden like honey. These are things I so love about Summer.

Celebrating together. <3

3 years ago I would never have imagined what a whirlwind of a journey life had in store for me. I never imagined that I would fall in love and spend my life with my special someone.

Nathan and I have spent 3 years together as of May 20th 2010. On May 20th 2007 we first proclaimed our love and have been inseparable since. I found my soulmate in everything he is and shall become, I couldn’t be luckier in any way. When you find someone you know you’ll grow old with, you gain a whole new understanding to how less scary life can be with someone you love. The chances that Nathan and I ever met are slim to none, but something made me make that move that day in order for Nathan to first find me. I’m not really the kind to believe in destiny, but I truly do believe that everything happens for a reason. And this was fate through and through. We’re young, we’re more in love than ever before and life is so new and exciting. Every day is a new adventure, whether I’m beating caterpillars off Nathan’s shirt or he’s tickling me until my face turns to beetroot. 3 years ago I never knew life would be so good.

I think there is one true soul for each one of us in this World. Sometimes it takes people 40 years to find them, and other people know them their whole lives. Whoever that person is, let them know. We will all find that special someone and I am blessed to have found mine at 16. I now know I can grow up and never be alone, even when I’m scared and cry at night, there is always an arm to hold me tight and to wipe away my woes.

Nathan, you are my World to me and I will forever love you. My heart grows everyday for you and our love and I shall cherish it forever and ever. You are my perfect prince, my angel and my “fuzzy lumpkin” and you always shall be. I am eternally proud to be by your side and shall always be right here for you too. You’re the best and I’ll always be here to remind you just how much you mean to one little heart. I love you my darling.

Here are some images I took a long time ago of a place we’ll be calling “home” very soon. A town of long twilight hours, rolling waves and endless gardens to explore with hot air balloon rides and squirrels which came to sit on Nathan’s lap. It’s a bustling town. These shots were my first visit to Bournemouth, we ran around as the sun disappeared on the horizon and I took photos of everything. I got so excited being able to see the Isle of Wight so close by where I spent a lot of my childhood holidays on that beloved island before it was ever famous for its music festival. May spend a few days visiting that island again seeing as we’ll be so close now. I will commute between London and Bournemouth for my photographic work and bring some models to the beach with me now I have that at my disposal! Life will be a happy blur of ice creams at midnight on the pier and roller blading down the promenade. I can’t wait.

I know it’s probably all been a huge mistake to pour my heart out on the Internet. People develop strong opinions about you and your life when they really know nothing about you. But I don’t really care if people develop horrible opinions about me. I’m just trying to be insightful to those of you who do care and who are interested. Thank you for all your encouragement and prayers, they’ve all helped tremendously.

Tonight I shoot at a nightclub which’ll be fun but tiring work. I won’t be home until the early hours and I then have to be up again a few hours later to grab a tube into London to get a coach to Bournemouth. Because I can’t afford the £50 return train ticket, spending £8 on a coach seems the best way to go about it. Nathan will be at work in Poole which is the next door town and won’t be back until the evening. So I get to spend the day browsing the shops and seeing what it’s all about. I’m so excited. This will be our new home so soon and these past few days apart have been harder than last week. I can’t wait to be with my angel again. I need to get used to this and hang in for a little while more. I’m doing okay.

I took my first ECDL exam yesterday. I have to study 7 modules in 3 months or else I lose everything and am not allowed to continue! So getting one module done felt amazing. Though I was annoyed I got one question wrong so I only got 97%. Stupid, stupid, stupid mistake! 6 more modules to learn. I’m not even halfway through databases and I am finding them so hard to understand. My mind doesn’t work in logical ways.

On the other hand, I’ve been seriously busy with photo shoots. I did a shoot last Wednesday with some amazing girls in a plantation. They were for 2 magazines, so fingers crossed I did a good enough job. Then on Saturday I had a shoot for a book and exhibition a girl was putting together. It was so sunny and I’d managed to secure an amazing model from Europe’s largest agency. Boo-yah! And there everyone was saying I couldn’t do it.

I went out for tea with my Grandpa yesterday which was so, so lovely. He always cheers me up. He celebrated his 59th wedding anniversary with my Granny on Monday. That’s a lot of years! They’re the funniest couple, but I love them so much. I can’t think of life without them, they’ve always been my 2nd parents, the ones to hug me and encourage me through life. Anyway, my Grandpa told me all about how the Queen once dropped her ring at his feet and he picked it up for her and they laughed about it together. He always amazes me with his history. There’s so much I still have to learn about him and I fear my time is growing thin. I hope he’s around for many, many more years.

That’s life right now. So busy, but busy is good. It preoccupies the disturbed mind. Sorry for all the negativity lately for those of you who read this far! I promise to be more upbeat and blog more happy things from here on in. [:
