I'm heading off in an exciting direction! I've recently applied to cover Camp Bestival as a Blogger/Photographer.

I was just simply looking through festivals with my boyfriend on google to decide which ones we'd try to go to this summer, when I stumbled upon Camp Bestival I knew it was the perfect one for me this year!

First off, It's based around Space! I just completed an Astrobiology course with Harvard University online, and I've been obsessed with the mystery of it all for as long as I can remember.  

but onto more important aspects,

Camp Bestival 2016 is located at Lulworth Castle in Dorset, A beautiful historical site on the coast in the South West of England (Also has an amazing Jerrasic Coast line, I love fossils aswell as space so BONUS POINTS THERE!)

Another big factor to why I'm choosing Camp Bestival is that it decicates a large area of it's festival site to Children! Now, I'm a very hands on dedicated aunty to my favourite three little bambinos (aged 3/7/9) and I'm always looking for something new to do with them, I don't plan on taking them them all this time around.. probably just the eldest child, but thats because 3 kids are hardwork for 1 aunty in a new place! specially the little boys!

The site has plenty of activities, including Upper Kids Garden, which offers young children the chance to explore and go on an adventure! They can also learn new circus skills, ride bikes and go-carts and just enjoy themselves!

Additionally, they also offer a toddler area - which will feature a Space Centre! (Sold! TAKE ME TAKE ME!) PS - It's also holds a Breastival Mother and baby chill out zone. Perfect for mums on the go!

MUSIC

I'm a massive sucker for the oldies! So when I saw Tears for Fears and Bananarama were headlining acts I wanted to take a closer look. The mixture between old and new is just right, with Jess Glynne and Katy B joining the line up. Not forgetting the classic Fatboy Slim too!

There isn't one act that I wouldn't like my bambinos to listen too, which also makes a big difference with the language used in the charts today. 

Head over to http://www.campbestival.net/ for more details, including news/updates and ticket prices.

and I'll hopefully see you all there!

P H O T O G R A P H Y - / / DREAMS I

For my latest University Project I have to create a book of images with a wide open brief. I decided to make my brief based on nightmares and dreams.
I was lucky enough to be given the chance to photograph in Cardiff Castle, I was allowed every room I wanted and the staff were wonderful!!

For my first test shoot, I used my 7 year old niece India as a model. She's constantly telling me how she wants to b a grown up and have lots of make up, a phone, ipad and every other thing a 7 year old shouldn't want. I remember being 7 and making dens in the local woods, tents in the living room, paper mashe-ing the living room table haha.

So I wanted to create a shoot that portrayed my niece as a miserable adult but still linking childlike factors. Including teddy bears, fairy lights, flower crowns and cupcakes.

More to come;
