Taking A Step Back Into My Pageant Past
Next month will be my 1 Year Anniversary of starting pageants and modelling, very exciting if I do say so myself. I am going to be looking back at how much I've actually done achieve to get where I am today!
My first ever catwalk was with Vintage Vision in Chepstow.
My first ever photoshoot was with Stacey from Shoot From The Hip Photography.
My first ever pageant was with AKA Academy for the Face Of AKA.
Since my first catwalk runway show I have taken part in on other for You're Beautiful Catwalk in Aid of Follow Your Dreams.
I have gone to two pageant training sessions with UK's Dazzling Beauty and Galaxy which helps me greatly with my pageant and runway walks. There is a difference between them!
After my first pageant I went to compete for Teen Beauty Of The UK, which was my first big pageant as I was up against 30 other girls. It was a very scary experience yet fun and gave me even more strive to compete in others.
Last year I went to compete for UK's Dazzling Beauty Teen which I went onto the win in November in the beautiful scenery of Brighton. What a fab day that was, especially with the photoshoot on the beach.
After my first photoshoot Jasmine Powell from Newport Photography Network asked me to join their monthly photoshoots at the Vintage Vision catwalk and so I went forwards with it. My first photoshoot with the group was the big hair and make up shoot.
I must admit I was a little stiff and had no clue what to do but enjoyed it so much I went to take part in the vintage, cosplay, Halloween, mascaraed ball, second big hair and make and gothic shoot with such a great selection of photographers, MUA, hair stylist and models.
