So much has changed!!

Hi all its been so long since i have wrote! So much has changed i have a new job i'm now working in a call center for a loans and mortgage broker, the customers can be rude but i love it you dont take anything to heart and everyone there is so lovely! (and the money and prize incentives help). I got to be honest i do not miss Tesco one bit! The honest true is its full of bitchy and rude people with no common sense so glad i got out!

Another thing has changed, i went to Northern Ireland and met my biological Dad. I have been speaking to him for a while now but when i first got there it was so strange but after literally half an hour i realized how similar i was to him and we just got on so well, i felt like i was at home. I then met my two half sister's Kimberly and Rebecca who are the cutest things on this planet i love them to pieces (see pictures below). I also have 3 step sisters and 1 step nephew, but there is such a closeness there is no step about it. I am so glad i went it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life and i am so glad i went there and am going back with my boyfriend in November.


Speaking of the boyfriend me and Brett are doing so well been together nearly two year's and just feel like were getting stronger i love him so much and he makes me so happy :)!



With my photography i feel so passionate at the moment! I have just got into doing some glamour shoots with a beautiful model named Jessica Jensen, she was so easy to work with and took direction so well i was so happy with the images, and has now made me realize how much i want to do glamour photography. For  some reason when i was giving her direction it just saw of came out i wasn't even thinking about what i was saying to be honest! But anyway these are some of the images below i hope you enjoy!

Until next time ...... Naomi xx

Its been a while

Since we last spoke lots have changed, i'm working full time in a well known supermarket. This is all i have to say on that. We have got a new addition the family and her name is Kylie a spoodle puppy! 

My photography has had to take a back seat at the moment and i hate it i'm just finding it very difficult to have the time but i have managed to get some gorgeous pictures of little Kylie! 

Saying this i was approached by my mums friend to photograph a beauty event which i cannot wait to do as i think the experience will be amazing. 

I am also wanting to pursue many different styles of photography it's a wide range of subjects and i want to explore more. 

until next time naomi xxxxx

Good things come to those who wait....

As the title suggest's i have some good news! Finally have got a full time job with all that trying how ironic is it that i have one in the place i have been all along TESCO! Although it's not the greatest place to work in the world its full time and money's good! 

Just generally feeling very good at the moment i have an amazing and very supportive family, boyfriend and friend's who i simply love to pieces. Just a few special mentions one for my mum http://alifelikevera.blogspot.com/ I don't know what i would do without her every job knock-back she has been there through the tear's and hasn't moaned about me taking it out on her (which i know i have done). She is so very talented and an amazing mother so please check out her blog, hopefully she will have a picture of her mother's day present on there ha! Other person is Emma Lightfoot http://lovelifeandknitting.blogspot.com/ not technically my godmother but i call her that, she's there when i just need to escape from welwyn garden and really should be an agony aunt as she has such a way with words, an is as beautiful on the outside as in. Also spent time with her beautiful daughter Scarlett who i just cant help but love to pieces.

    

Then finally (although there is many more) my boyfriend Brett, he is simply my rock, through these hard money time's he has supported me both financially and emotionally, he is my true love :) 

This is all i have to say at the moment but watch this space :) xxxxx

My Luck has changed!

Have had quite a good fews weeks lots of job interviews at the moment they have been bad news but i just take the interviews as experience! I started a temp job yesterday filing all day but i was being paid for it so i didn't mind! Have an interview tomorrow for a receptionist in a new very posh looking hairdressers!! So fingers crossed i will get the job! But i also have the option of doing a intern at the recruitment agency REED. Its technically un-paid but they give you £65.00 a week to cover expenses and the hours sync with my Tesco hour so can keep both jobs. I think the best thing to do is go with my gut instinct if Grey's want me that is!

Everything else is going well i went swimming the other day for the first time in a while. I forgot how difficult is it! I am a regular gym goer! But swimming is intense! It's still extra weight loss though!

Off to Ipswich next weekend cannot wait, time to chill, chat and relax! Well except when i have the beautiful Scarlett she give's me the excuse to be immature and act like a child! LOVE IT!! Much love ........ Naomi xx

Happy days :)

I have a much more cheerful blog today :) feeling very happy and after Valentines day all soppy! Unfortunately even after asking for the night off 3 months in advance i couldn't have it off so was a little bit gutted!  But i got to my boyfriends Friday night and he had set the table with the usual place settings and wine, but with the added touch of a dozen roses, one single rose and some chocolates. Then the best touch of all tea light candles not lit as he forgot to buy a lighter, which i found highly amusing but very cute!! A lot of people moan about Valentines day saying its a waste of money and all that. But the romantic in me loves it nothing wrong with buying a few roses and chocolates for the one you love! So just thought i would share my Roses with you all and hope you all had a brilliant Valentines day! Much love Naomi xxxx

Saving for a rainy day!

I had planned to go out yesterday and take some photos around my local town centre, but when i woke up the weather was terrible! (Rain, wind and a cheap umbrella really don't go well together i found out!) So i decided to take some photo's from around my house of some of my favorite things or things i enjoy hope you like them! Naomi

 

Is it all a dream?

Sorry to sound all depressive, those of you who know me well are aware 95% of the time i try and be positive and always have a smile on my face. However this week i have felt rather low, just realized what it is like in the real world and its HARD!! With not being able to find a full time job i am finding it so difficult to fund my photography and pay my debts off.
Which then makes me worry if i put all my money into my photography and doesn't get me anywhere would it be worth it? Don't get me wrong i love photography and would love to do it as a career but it is a hard career to get into.
My worry is just that i wont have a stable career in the future.
 I am quite a contemplative person in general and a worrier (which i get from my mother and grandmother!) i tend to think about the future a lot and i know that i want to have a stable job with good money to support myself and my dream of a family. But will it all work out or will it just all be a dream? answers please until next time..................Naomi

Getting Snappy!!

Felt really inspired the last few days. I have a friend called David Rapp (Also know as Derek who plays Charlie Slater in Eastenders son! ha! bit of name dropping there!) I used to act with him at the Barn Theatre and bump into him occasionally at work, he has been giving me some brilliant advice on photography and made me feel a lot more inspired.
Also Brett has been really supportive of me telling me that i am talented and i should go out and take some more pictures, he has even given me a few ideas ha! So i'm just feeling very inspired and thought i would share the images i have taken the last couple of days with you all. Until next time....... Naomi!

People who mean the most

So the last few months i have been trying to find a job, lets just say i am getting no where! It's so frustrating! I feel like i have sent over 1000 CV's out!
On the better news mine and my Mum's car was picked up today to be fixed so hopefully i will be on the road again soon!
I am feeling really close to my friends at the moment. I regularly go to the gym with my friend Lauren, we both work so very hard but we tend to exercise our mouths the most! But it is our time to catch up.
My boyfriend (Brett) moved in with his best friend Friday, and for the last couple of weekend's we haven't seen each other as we have been spending more time with our friends, which i think within a relationship it is always good to have some friend time. But i saw him Sunday and we had a really lovely evening, i love those moments when you just relax together and  talk about rubbish.
I also feel really proud of my mother as she is working so hard at the moment such a talented designer!
And finally my friend Daisy who has just started a blog, she is a very talented fashion designer!

Much love to all of you i care about, you know who you are

Naomi

Back to my passion

Photography has really taken a back seat at the moment as i have been looking for a job, working etc! So i woke up this morning and had the urge! So here you go for your viewing pleasure ha! Enjoy..... Naomi x

Pushing myself

This year I really feel like I am sticking to my targets I set myself at the beginning of the year for once! Firstly with trying to find a full time job, I have worked really hard trying to find one and have filled out what feels like 1000 application forms! But I had success yesterday, an interview at the chefton pub just opening near where I live. I have been offered a second interview so want you all to have fingers crossed!
Weight is something I have always struggled with yoyo dieting being specific! But this time I have been doing this sensibly since the last time I went a bit obbsessive and ended up passing out! But with hard work at the gym going as much as I can I'm really starting to notice the difference! So hopefully this year is improving!! :) untill next time...... Naomi xx

Fed up!

Just a little blog today, I feel so fed up so stuck, I tried getting an apprenticeship at a nursery I literally phoned every nursery in Hertfordshire and they either said they already have apprenticeship or there not intrestred in the idea! So now I don't know what to do with myself! Any advice would be appreciated!!

Crappy New year? Does everything happen for a reason?

So excuse the title of my blog but only way to be honest about how this new year has started. Started off with me trying to help a five year old girl after being hit by a car, but unfortunatly she died on the scene. Its a very hard thing to deal with and im not the sort of person who likes talking to strangers (councellers) about it so i have delt with it my own way by talking to friends and this has seemed to have helped me deal with it.I just hope the family know i did all i could, and if she did die right there that i was holding her hand. However maybe i shouldnt have been driving the day after this as i ended up crashing my car, no injuries just the poor car very injured and me feeling so guilty as i share the car with my mum.
But after all this i have now realised how well i deal with bad situations and how much i love being around children so i am now trying to get an apprenticeship with a nursery.
Which makes me question does everything happen for a reason?

I have decided not to make resolutions this year just because i never stick to them, i have just got goals.

1. Love myself more- dont listen to what nasty people say be comfortable with who i am and what i look like, eat well and work out well.
2. Sort out money- dont spend spend spend SAVE SAVE SAVE!!
3. Work in a nursery
4. Concentrate on my photography- Photography has taken a back seat at the moment as i havent really had the time but i want to really try and get some more photos for my portfolio.
5. Appreciate what and who i have got- Because you never what you have got until its got

Love to all of you and all who you and i care about.... Naomi x
