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!
