The Start of Something New - Say Hello!

So hi! My name is Laura and I am eighteen years old!! So technically I am an adult, however I still act like a three year old. 

At a job interview recently, I was asked if I was a car, what would I be. After thinking about this for a while I responded with "an Audi TT. Mostly because I'm short, I'm a busy body fast person and it depends on who I am with as to how I behave." I then thought to myself, and realised that I was totally right. I volunteer within Girlguiding UK (which is an amazing organisation and if you wanted to join go to www.girlguiding.org.uk/joinus) and so when I'm with the girls, I can act like a five year old, yet when I'm at an interview for example, I know I have to be responsible and stop acting childish.

Anyway, I wanted to start a blog as I have been inspired by my amazing friend, Isobel Celine who has an amazing fashion blog. I started thinking, well what am I passionate about? What makes me want to get up and go, or gives me a buzz when I do. Well the first thing that came to my mind is volunteering, as I do a lot with different charities and organisations, and then I thought, no. What do I love? Photography. I've always preferred to be behind the camera, instead of in front of it (unlike this picture where I am very drunk). Whilst doing my GCSEs, I took up photography and enjoyed it so much. I hated school, I was bullied a lot and felt that I was a loner, yet when I was behind the camera I didn't need to be with anyone. I love taking photos of nature. It's definitely my favourite subject. However, I also enjoy it very much taking surprise photos of people. Capturing a true laugh, rather than a forced smile, is always something I aim for. 

Anyway, I hope you are intrigued about my new blog, and I am aiming to keep it updated at least twice a week. So here's to a new start!
