Who thought id get a guy like him?? he is so precious to me! his name is Mark Gregory Northcott and i love him to bits we are so much alike its very scary! he makes me laugh like no other and he is just a shining light to make me wasnt to be better, his eyes are beautiful and he makes me feel like a princess, as you all probably know im not very public about guys but i wanted to let you all know about him. its been a bout a month when we first started to chat, we are so deep in friendship hes deffinately my one in a million, i cant imagine being with anyone else!!! we just fit so well. its deffinately early days but im not someone to rush into anything anyway!! :D i hope you all get to meet him soon. hes 6,6 yes tall, but it always comes under the tall dark and handsome type ;)

main similarities - we think alike in everything, we have similar goals, we work hard, we like to look good, we love to talk, we used to be shy at school, we both love family, we both want to be the best we can for each other. i just cant wait till he comes to UK ok for anyone who thinks HES NOT FROM UK URS NUTS! i dont care...i dont give my love out like sweets.

other than that! im in uni now in full swing...the lectures start tommorow my main task (another thing marks good at HELPING ME!) but i have to film a segment of a retro film from the past...oooh goodie...but i can say im enjoying it even though ive never been so brain dead for ideas. i am looking forward to the tetley competition and also the retro fashion module! :D

institute is same as ever, and im taking all the photos of STUDENTS AND YSA so if you all see me with my camera dont ask questions just smile and let me take a photo okies?? hehe anyway guys im shattered and ill update you all with more when my brain actually has capacity to join sentences.

Perhaps Love...

I was at Sarah and Steven Smith's wedding and they had the musical item a song ive NEVER heard but i nearly got teared up with it...here are the following lyrics i heard i was touched by it! hope you like it too!

PERHAPS LOVE

Perhaps love is like a resting place

A shelter from the storm

It exists to give you comfort

It is there to keep you warm

And in those times of trouble

When you are most alone

The memory of love will bring you home

Perhaps love is like a window

Perhaps an open door

It invites you to come closer

It wants to show you more

And even if you lose yourself

And don't know what to do

The memory of love will see you through

Oh, Love to some is like a cloud

To some as strong as steel

For some a way of living

For some a way to feel

And some say love is holding on

And some say letting go

And some say love is everything

And some say they don't know

Perhaps love is like the ocean

Full of conflict, full of pain

Like a fire when it's cold outside

Thunder when it rains

If I should live forever

And all my dreams come true

My memories of love will be of you

And some say love is holding on

And some say letting go

And some say love is everything

Some say they don't know

Perhaps love is like the ocean

Full of conflict, full of pain

Like a fire when it's cold outside

Or thunder when it rains

If I should live forever

And all my dreams come true

My memories of love will be of you

Appreciate the Small things...

Babies...
Are truly beautiful i took this photo last week, and appreciate the pure joy babies have from the love of their parents, i love seeing babies and toddlers smile, they are happy with small and simple things.

Things going right...
Im always thankful when the small choices you make in a day really effect you and when they go right thats even better

Nature...
even small birds chirping, sunrises, and morning breeze can make me happy, jsut small things God has put on the earth fo us to enjoy

YES i love the small things!

CAMP MEMORIES...
we brought mum and Roxy back home from camp, and i have fond memories of those camp years, so much preparation so much love and care! i always loved the testimony meetings, it was like a safe haven for us all being together as YW sharing experiences and growing in the Gospel!

Sarah Smith aka Ducker
Charlene Kendall
Ashley Zirman
John Williams
Naomi Makins aka Simcock
Becky Bray aka ONeil

I need SLEEP...

Think about it...

Sarah and steven smith wedding (31), originally uploaded by Glam_2006.

i love close up photos from weddings, i think most of the time people forget to take the detail...

The Beading...
The intricate beading can symbollize each trial and problem we have will add to our beauty over a long period of time

The Knot...
To signify our commitment, faithfulness

The Hand...
Support and comfort from your companion

The Ring...
Crisp and Clear on the finger, to shine as an example of promise and love

The White...
To show virtue and cleanliness and new begginings

i guess you could interpret it your own way! but thats why i like the photo!

Being Comfortable...

With Yourself...
Tammie my good friend, she doesnt need makeup in her photos, i took them and i didnt need to touch up or anything, i thought about how people need to forget about stereotypical beauty, Tammie is a beautiful person in and out, im glad she is my friend...

With your Talents...
So i pondered myself, i sometimes think gosh im a bad photographer! but sometimes i just have bad days and plus i have a bad foot, but all in all im comfortable with my talents and my ability in taking photos, but its been a journey ill tell you!

With saying how you feel...
too many people bottle up how they truly feel ok we are not an open book, but we should at least let someone turn the pages! we shouldnt be afraid of social circles or speaking to new people...

hope this is good insight for you all...

BE PREPARED...
My First wedding shoot i had no idea what i was doing but i was happy to be there and so i decided id research and do everything i could to make it all nice. in this picture you will see a note book, invitations orders of service wedding photos, and a list of events/photos to take, i have to always prepare and research what im doing i feel to be my best.

A LIST OF TIPS...
Such as...
-taking photos when the bride is getting ready on her request
-generally ask the couple what they want, style etc ie CLASSIC/TRADITIONAL/CANDID
-Know the number of bridesmaids, colour schemes and any special guests
-know the venue, the people the place and try to always get there early and speak to ushers, best men and anyone making the day possible its good to have a coordination and organized structure to the day
-have individual shots of bridesmaids and anyone who requests.
-most of all be alert and have the camera at the ready ALWAYS!

CARRY ON...
i have loads more but i wanted to just cover a few. The thing i thought was ill have to get a person i REALLY trust to take MY photos, as i dont want them messed up im so bad arnt i? hehe but i do know i love taking photos (if you havnt already guessed) MAY I CONTINUE...

This is the Band themselves....

m peeps
Originally uploaded by Glam_2005.

I love them so much, Heather small is a talented singer...:D

MMMM PPL!

The band that has stuck with me if you will over all the years...sure i could mention spice girls but they died after 2 years of high school, the music that has really stirred my senses and folled me through life is M PEOPLE

M People were a British house music act from Manchester which formed in 1990. They consisted of Mike Pickering, Heather Small and Paul Heard and Shovell.
After the release of The Best of M People in 1998, the band took a long break. Heather Small recorded a solo album and it seemed that the band had split, although a repackaged greatest hits album was released in 2005 and the band also embarked on a short tour of the UK. Small continued to pursue a solo career, as her song Proud was the soundtrack to the successful London 2012 Olympic Bid. - WIKIPEDIA.ORG


SINGLES...
1991 "How Can I Love You More"
1992 "Colour My Life"
1993 "One Night In Heaven"
1993 "Moving On Up"
1993 "Don't Look Any Further"
1994 "Renaissance"
1994 "Sight For Sore Eyes"
1995 "Open Your Heart"
1995 "Search For the Hero"
1995 "Love Rendezvous"
1995 "Itchycoo Park"
1997 "Just For You"
1997 "Fantasy Island"
1997 "Angel Street"
1997 "Testify"
1999 "Dreaming"

This is a List of most of the songs i love Pretty much every song for different reasons...Hather Small is a legend! shes a soulful singer...ive imagined dancing to these songs, heard them on dates, spoke to loads of people about them, been mocked for liking them, listened to them when oive been happy, mad, sad, broken down, pondering...they just are awesome!
