It a shame you dont live near Maidstone in kent cos I am a photographic makeup artist Wobbles and I would have made you up and my friend is a photographer.
If you need any makeup tips i will do my best to help. With photogeraphic you ned to put on more than normal makeup so it shows up in the photos, especially if you are having a shoot in a studio. I used to work for Olan Mills but they have gone bust now.

I ran to mapquest to see how far you were from me

A looooooong way!
Ive done East Sussex to Stoke on Trent by train, that took aaages!
