Pointless Portrait.

The past week has been a super busy one, I kicked of this week acting like a big kid, looking after my little cousins. They are so much fun, and I love being able to spend time with them. This week I was put in a difficult position for a photographer, I was in front of the camera for a change, and I didn't have any control over the final image. I was being photographed for a dance project that I am part of, so the shoot involved jumping about and pulling lots of crazy shapes. But I had a great time, and know I didn't need to edit the picture was a great relief.

The rest of this week was spend in my office space doing what seemed like piles upon piles of paper work, but that's just one of those things that need to be done from time to time. This weeks pointless portrait come from one of my many procrastination moments of the week, from instagram, follow me @jen_s21

This week has been another quiet one. A fun few days at work, one of which was the cutest new born ever. The whole family were so utterly happy with their new arrival, which made for some great pictures. this pointless portrait was taken during the editing session of some pictures, and yes they are my real glasses.(I get asked a lot) Also taught a few extra dance classes this week, made me realise how much I miss teaching on a regular basis.

Had a rare opportunity to have a girly night on Friday with the girls from dancing, We've known each other almost all our lives, and all get on so great. Now that we are all older and work its hard to find time to catch up outside of dance class. But we had a great night of wine and food and girly gosspip. You can see what I wore in my previous post.

Currently I am away from home at a Dancing Weekend full of classes and lectures, so this weeks pointless portrait comes from Thursday of this week. I took a trip with my brother, north a little bit to Glenshee to take advantage of the Scottish Snow. I am a snowboarder and my brother a ski'er, we had a great days worth of snow fun and even managed to come home in one piece (we're both fairly clumsy people).

The rest of this week has been filled with meetings, but I did get the chance the catch up with a friend from uni who was up from London, it was great to catch up with him. This week was also one of the weeks I look after my little cousins after they finish nursery and school, I love spending time with them, it's the only time I'm really aloud to act like a kid again.

This weeks pointless portrait comes courtesy of a busy week and my instagram account, this is my 'I've got too much to do today' face. Sadly this week my Granny wasn't too well so I spent a lot of my time with her, looking after her and trying to make her feel better. Actually it was really nice to spend some more time with her, we've always been really close. Thankfully she is much better now.

This week I also had lots of meetings for work, which weren't too fun but these things need to be done. As you may have seen in one of my pervious posts, it was my elder sisters Birthday this week, which meant I got to enjoy a family meal and a night out this week. Both were lots of fun.

week5. Pretty quiet week this week, mainly been working away on putting together the event I'm planning in May. I'm actually really enjoying my self assigned, Event Management position. I've also been out running a lot, for my 10k training. I'm starting to enjoy running again, and I'm starting to have some hope for completing the race in a decent time.

This week I also took a trip to Newcastle with my mum. My dad sometimes works down there so we tagged along for a day in the Metro Centre. I picked up some great new items, including some amazing orange brogues, that I'm sure will be in and outfit of the day soon. Still not had any luck with the perfect dress outfit, so wish me some more luck please.

week4. The past few weeks since christmas have been some weird ones. Other then trying to get over being ill, I've actually had some big decisions to make, which I still haven't really done yet. I decided to take some time out from work, after being super busy before christmas I felt like I needed to take the time to decided what I really wanted to be doing.

So other than trying to plan out my whole life, I've been working on some side projects, currently planning an event for my Brothers football team(work in progress). I've also taken up running again recently as myself and my brother and sister will be running a 10k race for charity in April. So wish me luck for my training.

I also took some time for myself and did my own Acrylic Nail.(A skill I taught myself a few years ago, well worth it for all the money I save.) I love my nails like, I just never manage to find the time to do it.

week2. Another crazy busy week at work and crazy weather outside work. I’ve enjoyed my last week out christmas portrait shoots, I’ve meet some great families over the past few months, but I can’t say I’m looking forward to the weeks ahead of sitting indoors editing pictures. I ended off this week making cakes with my two little cousins and drinking wine and catching up with a friend.

welcome to pointless portraits, I’ll be honest with you all, I’ve slightly stolen this idea off a blog I’m a big fan of, www.llymlrs.com check her out. Lily does a great Sunday Portrait theme, where you get a great portrait and a little weekly round up. So I’ll be honest again and admit I’m one of those shameless photographers who loves taking their own pictures, but i rarely share them with anyone, so Pointless portrait is a killing two birds situation. I’ll post one of my many self portraits from the week, often these will be on set from work, or at home as a distraction from work, and I’ll also give a little round up of things I’ve been doing. So here I goes,

week1. This week has been a busy week for me, the start of dressember (I’ll upload my weekly update tomorrow at some-point, promise) and a crazy week at work. Lately I’ve taken the oppertunity to use the forth coming christmas period to get back into taking portraits, so the past few weeks have been filled with family portrait shoots. I’ve had a great time meeting new smiling little friends and capturing memoires for families to keep. This week has also brought with it the start of my christmas stress, I haven’t even thought about presents yet, let along purchased anything, must be better prepared this year.(very last minute shopping last year.) Well I hope you are all getting festive, don’t forget to wrap up warm, the snow is on its way…
