Part 1 – Model Call
Part 1 of a 4 part series…………………………….
I find Instagram fascinating. When I press the magnifying glass on the bottom left hand side, of the screen, I am at times dumbfounded with what the search reveals to me. I wonder why Instagram thinks I would be interested in some of the images. However, this mystery has provided me with a great little story that I hope you will enjoy over the next few days.
I am serious about my word of the year ALIVE, well wait till you read on for January’s version of ALIVE.
10th January 2016
Good Morning Marina.
I am emailing in relation to the Instagram post for models.
I am a 36 year old Mumma and wife who has never modelled before.
I would love to have this experience. Why do I want to do it? Well recently I have been embracing more of me – I have always loved to write but NEVER been brave enough to share it and enjoy and express my creativity. Well I started a blog and it has been pretty successful for the amount of time that I have been doing it. Since I have been stepping so far outside my comfort zone and enjoying it and the creative process of writing, I have also been seeking other experiences.
I think doing this would let me see my body in a different way (I have checked out your website and your photos are sensual, beautiful and unique.) Since having kids and breastfeeding them I have always been conscious of how small my boobs are and while I feel that I look ok in clothes, I am almost embarrassed when in underwear or naked.
Thanks for your time.
Melinda Edwards
I press send and don’t really give it much thought because – well I am sure that the photographer will receive hundreds of emails. I only sent the email as a part of my ALIVE for the year, just to see what happens.

Dear Melinda,
First of all, thank you for answering my model call for boudoir session. To be honest, I haven’t expected so much interest and I am really overwhelmed with such great response.
Thank you so much for your lovely email. After I read your email I just thought: I would love to meet this lady in person and photograph her for my portfolio!
I would love to give you an amazing boudoir session experience with me. My goal is to create classy boudoir photographs in a relaxed and inviting atmosphere where you can enjoy yourself. I will support and guide you through the process by showing you and telling you exactly what needs to be done.
I look forward to meeting you soon!
Cheers, Photographer

P.S: I read a bit from your blog. I like it!
My response to the above email, was to freak the hell out and laugh uncontrollably at my stupidity at sending the initial email. What have I gotten myself into?
