I Got a Degree | Graduation

I'm just as shocked as you are

3 years ago I packed up all my belongings into my mums purple fiat and left for Leeds. My time at Leeds have been amazing and it has truly changed my life, I am not the person I used to be I am so much more confident and have learnt life skills I would have never thought i'd know how to do - like call the police on an extremely aggressive neighbour or learn how to throw a great party.

Throughout uni I lived with some wonderful, amazing, incredible humans (you's know who you are) and I could not of asked for a better uni experience. I haven't been as scared or laughed as hard as in 62 Chapel Lane.

You may be wondering what course I did and where I went? No well i'll tell you. I studied Film and Television Studies at Leeds Trinity University. My course was very theory based but we did get to do some cool stuff, we made a live show in first year, a 10 minute podcast about ghosts in second year and I even made a short film all on my own (apart from the actors, thanks again Hannah and Katie). I learnt about Bollywood even if I wish I didn't, learnt how to operate a live TV studio, interviewed people on the street about why they like Little Mix and so so so much more. It was a blast!

Graduation was such a good day after moving back home it was so exciting to see all my friends again and celebrate together at what we have achieved.

Next steps for me is to move back to Newcastle, get a full time job and become a photographer.

21.07.2018 Graduated with 2:1 BA hons in Film and Television degree.

 I want to give some special shout outs to the ones who made my university so amazing.

Maddy - Thank you for cleaning the house all the time and looking after me when I was tired and sad
Jasmine - Thank you for making me laugh and being my rock throughout uni
Kendra - Thank you for helping me with my dissertation and being my number one support
Melanie - Thank you for being there since day one, you and me got a whole lot of history
Tom - Thank you for applying for this job and being the funniest guy I know

Reanna Valentines Shoot

(Written by Kerri Bell)

Valentine's Day is finally here and love is in the air. This week Jess has a very busy schedule and on Monday had the chance to do a beautifully romantic (and quite seductive) shoot with the lovely Reanna, with help from her stylist Lauren.

This is the first time Jess has ever done a boudoir shoot and the pictures are truly stunning, a big shout out to Jess for trying something new and going out of her comfort zone, it truly paid off.

Camera used: Canon 550D
Lens used: 18-35mm

(Quote from Jess)

"I truly loved this shoot, it really was far out of my comfort zone and something i'd never done before. It was tricky at first as I wasn't 100% comfortable due to the fact i'd never done something like this before, but once we got started and comfortable it was so much fun and I love all the shots! I was super hyped to do this shoot and spent the weekend looking for props gathering as much valentines stuff as i could. Although boudoir isn't my usual area of photography i enjoyed it so much."

Some of the finished pictures are shown below, and if you're wanting to book a photo-shoot with Jess contact her via Facebook (@RoseJessicaPhotography) or Instagram (@RoseJessPhotography) and remember to enter the Facebook competition to win a FREE photo-shoot!
