I'm back ya'll

It’s always funny to see when you go through a big life change, how you’ll come out of it on the other side. As most of you would have gathered, I left my partner, moved house, changed my career and a lot of other stuff happened between that, but in a way I’m grateful that I did go through all that, and I’m much happier for it now.

Just going to go on a casual little rant now considering this is where I like to vent usually!

Obviously because of no longer having a regular photographer and living in a more remote place, I had to put my modelling on hold whilst I sorted everything out. Now, however, I’m settled, better off, and ready to get back into the swings of things with my modelling, social media and general life. I know it might take a while to get back into it properly, but until then I’m happy with how everything is going so far.

I mean I am so grateful for my family for helping to get me sorted out, I know I’m not there entirely yet but everything will be good shortly. My job is going really well currently, and I’m so pleased I managed to start working here, and for the people I’ve met through that. I lost a lot of people I was good friends with a few months ago, but I suppose that just proves who was actually there for you and who wasn’t. For the people that have been there for me, and the people I’ve met recently, thank you. <3

I’ll try not to mumble on too much more. I just wanted to say, I think I’m going to use my blog, along with for my photoshoots, brand work ext, to open up a bit more. It’s something I struggle with, but writing blog posts has always helped and it’s a really good way to vent without having to actually open up to someone in person.

Much love to everyone who reads this and is there for me. Now here’s a photo of me looking sassy - Liv x

Cornwall shoot for Huers Clothing Co

As my third shoot for Huers, I was really looking forward to getting out, exploring Cornwall and trying out their new cold-weather clothing. Waking up at 3am wasn’t my favourite part of the day however, but I got ready and made some sausage sandwiches for the car ride nonetheless. Our first stop was Godrevy Lighthouse - a stunning sandy beach with dramatic cliffs and crystal clear blue water, along with the view of the lighthouse in the distance. Watching the sunrise whilst walking along the beach was beautiful, and it surprisingly wasn’t actually too cold either. I wore a black top of theirs at this location, which was really comfy and contrasted well with the background I think.

Our next location was St Agnes Head, which I’ve been to many times before, but it never gets boring. The view from the cliff is just gorgeous: crashing waves, paths along the cliff, and blue sea. There was a larger group than usual, so Will managed to get a larger range of photos in loads of different clothing. As always, I took my hoodie that I wear on a daily basis to keep warm, and so we got quite a few photos of that too.

After St Agnes, we headed down to Holywell Beach - Another sandy beach with large sand dunes, tufts of grass around and dramatic ocean views. It unfortunately did start to drizzle intermittently but we still managed to get loads of great photos of the hats, tops and jumpers. They’ve recently introduces some new beanie hats and more of the bobble hats that definitely keep your head warm in the cold winters we usually have!

Port Isaac was our last location, and what a location it was. Famous for being the filming place of Doc Martin, there’s always tourists there coming to get a glimpse of the iconic filming locations, but for us the best parts were the pebbled beach and tiny Cornish streets. I changed my top into a white one with a little seagull logo on it. The tops are lightweight enough to be breathable, but also keep you warm.

Overall, this was a very successful photoshoot full of a large range of locations, clothing and different photos. A photoshoot for Huers is always enjoyable and well worth the trip down to Cornwall for. Check out their instagram (@huersclothingco) or their website: www.huersclothingco.com

Exeter shoot with @abzmystery

You may have seen some photos in my portfolio that look like they’re in the same location and editing style. This usually means they were taken by the same photographer. The following photos were taken by @abzmystery (on Instagram) whilst on a shoot in Exeter city centre about a month ago. The weather was great that day, and so was the lighting due to it being in the afternoon.

I wanted to get a decent range of photos whilst on the shoot, hence the outfit changes and different locations. The different outfits really contrasted the backgrounds of the photos quite well, and looked even better after the editing process!

We took a few photos in and around Gandy Street, then moved onto outside Central Station, and then again into a small park which looked beautiful due to the autumnal leaves which were just starting to fall.

Working with Abz was a great experience and I’d love to go shoot with him again sometime. If you get a chance, go check out his website: https://www.abzmystery.com/ or go check out his Instagram!

Boscastle shoot with @chrisfrithphoto

Chris and I chose Boscastle to go to seeing as though it’s a bit different from other places he had been to, as he does most of his photography in more urban areas around London - Boscastle, of course, is nothing like that. It was a raining a little when we got there, unfortunately, but it soon cleared up a bit and there were a few rays of sun poking through the clouds, which created some nice aspects to the photos.

I changed outfits a few times to get a variety of photos, going with more neutral tones like brown, navy and grey to match the landscape. All in all, the huge size of the cliffs and surrounding landscapes made me look quite small, which is fairly different to the rest of the photos on my page, but still really interesting and created a unique depth to the photos.

Chris was a great photographer to work with - very easy to talk to and a really interesting character. Will also came along for this shoot, and they also seemed to get along very well which was nice. Will actually pointed us out to the best locations in Boscastle when we initially arrived, so we went to those and then found some others too.

I was quite happy with how the photos turned out. We got a range of them in different locations, with slightly different undertones, which meant they didn’t look too similar on my Instagram page, but still looked like they were from the same photographer, which is a feature I like to achieve on my Instagram feed.

We ended the day with a nice burger from a little burger, fish and chip shop in Boscastle that Will and I always tend to go to when we visit seeing as though they taste delicious and are very needed after a day of walking around.

Exeter shoot with @babystenerud

At the beginning of November, Jorgen and I went to Exeter to get some photos in various places such as Parliament Street and Gandy Street. The photos turned out really great, and looked quite moody - I’m pleased we managed to get so many photos during the day in so many different locations.

Parliament Street was a great location and it’s also the second smallest street in Europe. It made my hair look as though it was glowing due to the light coming through from one end to the other. We were a bit sceptical entering the street seeing as though there were quite a few random doorways and a few bits of rubbish at either end, but we managed to get some really good photos in the end, which was great.

Whilst walking past the main street and Central Station, we found a street which led us to a green bridge with loads of ivy, which matched my top funnily enough, so it was good I changed my top halfway through the shoot. I hadn’t seen this bit of the city centre before - it’s funny how many small streets and quaint shops I’ve visited recently due to going on shoots with people who know other bits of Exeter I don’t, or have never visited bits of Exeter before that I also haven’t visited.
