Nakitt
A tale of love conquering the whole world…

Today was warm and golden. Woke up to the sound of church bells and birds singing, it felt like summer. I have never loved like I have loved today, I felt so free and young. And it has been too long since I have felt that way. I took a million photographs. I mean a million. But it felt great to get my finger on that shutter again. I can’t stop taking photographs, everything is so inspirational today, even the songs on the radio are filling my mind with snapshots, sounds, smells, everything!

I have put some out-takes and final images below for your viewing pleasure. I hope they’re alright. I felt we needed some new Nakitt shots together. Especially as life is so becoming so busy for us, it’s always great to get to take photographs and spend that time we would otherwise miss. <3

And now I’m off to watch Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. It looks highly good. [:

I had a photo shoot on Monday which was absolutely beautiful. It felt so good to meet someone so fresh into the modelling World. We had a wonderful time and it was great to just run around between trees and both be so passionate about the images we were creating. I hope she makes it, she was so beautiful and the fashion World is missing out on a lot without her. I made a flower band for her ginger locks and she lay in puddle water for me and was the most willing girl I’ve ever worked with. [: I’m still editing away all the shots which I am so thrilled with.

I have another shoot on the 19th which I’m most excited about. I need to scout some locations and gather outfits together. But as always, I’m keeping it very hush-hush so no one can steal my ideas. People have been doing that lately, and it’s not cool. Anyway, the hat for it arrived today from the US, so now it’s just down to me collecting a few more props and it’ll all be ready to go. I’m super stoked.

And even though they don’t need an introduction, I cannot recommend this album highly enough. It’s full of that Summer tune feeling, and seeing as it hasn’t stopped being so sunny for the past 4 days, it’s a great vibe to feel. Give them a listen.

Speaking of music, I recently discovered someone with the same initials as I. His name is Kyle Galanaugh, I know, weird how similar his name is to mine?! Gallannaugh and Galanaugh?! Spookily cool! Anyway, I stumbled upon his music by accident not that long ago and I was instantly hooked. He asked me to spread the news of his music, so I suggest you go and give it a listen here. It’s like the love-child of Coldplay and U2 and is so, so beautiful.

That is all from me today. Hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine. That was one hell of a Winter and now we can all crawl outside again and enjoy the World again! [:

We had an amazing Valentine’s Day. I won’t say much, no words can really sum it up. Nathan bought me a gorgeous, gorgeous dress. I bought him a vintage style tee and a typography book for his design antics. Everything was perfect. <3

My Valentine’s card to Nay.

Nay making eye-love to his new book.

And pimpin’ his new shirt too. <3

Me with our gingerbread hearts in my little “den”.

Om nom nom nom.

Bright light, bright light!

Tomorrow is the last day of January. Feels kind of hard to believe that the first month of 2010 has already come and gone in the blink of the eye. It makes me happy though, I love fast months followed by the slow before everything builds up momentum again by the end of the year. This won’t be a sleepy year. We’re teenagers on fire.

We returned from Lille in France earlier this week after a fabulous holiday. I have never had so much fun walking around, speaking French, eating bread, bouncing on hotel beds and touching the ceiling, shivering in -3 degrees, sleeping whenever we wanted, buying pretty souvenirs for the family and taking a million photos together. We were so free and had a wonderful time. I’ll put some photographs below in a minute. [: Thank you so much once again for the incredible treat, Nay. <3

Yesterday and today were so sunny. After so much snow it’s so nice to feel the sun prickle your skin again. We haven’t had any rain lately, just cloud and more cloud. So seeing the blue sky in winter was a great uplifting boost. We went for gloriously muddy walks and took photos of the sunset and the huge full moon.

The last few nights we have had a mouse running around our bedroom. We lay a trap with food in, but it was clever enough to get the food out without going inside! This morning was the 4th night it has run around and it woke me up at 3am. I woke Nathan up and he drifted in and out of sleep as I tiptoed around the bedroom moving the trap to where I heard its little feet. By the time Nathan woke up at 8am I was still tiptoeing and feeling like a zombie. He felt groggy too as he kept dosing in and out of sleep all night. We got up and chased the tiny creature around. Nathan managed to corner it, but it jumped away and we carried on our chase. By 10.30 I managed to get it to crawl its tired little body into a trap and we placed her into a tank with sawdust, heaps of hamster bedding, food and water. She was so scared and burrowed away. But she’s been coming out more and more and doesn’t seem so jumpy any more. We are going to release her, but she is so tiny that we feel we need to capture a parent mouse to release her with to give her a fighting chance. Otherwise we’ll just have to be cruel to be kind. She obviously could never be tame and as cute as she is, she’s wild and so we’ll release her in the woods with a bit of food to start her off. I’ll take some photos of her and put them up if she comes out from sleeping. Her name is Honeysuckle.

2010 has been incredible so far. It has given me so many moments which have just taken my breath away. I have so many photographic opportunities lined up for this year and I feel like this is an amazing start. Nathan has been working away on a client’s site as well as finishing off his Mum’s and a new portfolio for me which I absolutely adore. He’s so smart, I wish I could code websites. It’s something I don’t think I could ever master, I’ll leave it to Nathan!

On that note I shall leave you with some recent images and I’m off to grab supper. Until next time!

And a photo that we took today in the 3 o’ clock setting Sun. It was beautiful. <3

32 months ago Nathan and I pronounced our first love for one another. 2 and bit years later here we are living, breathing and loving together even more than I ever could’ve possibly imagined. He made today magical for me. It was all like a fairytale.

We went to get hot chocolate. He bought me a muffin and himself a giant cookie. We sat and just relaxed in the warmth of the shop and watched the buses from the window. We then went to the cinema and saw Sherlock Holmes which was a top-notch film. We absolutely loved it, I can’t wait for it’s DVD release. We then went shopping and bought a lot of food for supper. We had an amazing pizza, salad and cream soda. Eating it in bed and watching BBC 2 felt more amazing than it ever could’ve done. It’s been such an incredible day and I’ve loved every single second.

When you find someone you love, you appreciate every second together. And how long and hard Nathan and I fought for one another has really paid off and I will never take a millisecond for granted. I love everything about this man, and this is my life and he is my future. I am so blessed.

Happy anniversary Nay. I love you. <3
