Our Photoshoot in London...
We started the day by getting ourselves and the girls ready - up at 7am, washed, fed and everything packed. Two buggies and four bags of clothes, food, and drink later... we were ready!
Our Dad kindly picked us up in his car and we travelled on the 9.30am train from Haywards Heath. Cathy's daughter decided that she wouldn't sit still and then had a tantrum for 20mins on a packed train!
We eventually arrived at Holburn Studios at 11am and we had a lovely welcome from everyone. There was a hair and makeup artist, stylist, photographer, runner and the picture editor from the Sunday Times.
First thing we had to do is have our hair and make up done. We decided that we wanted to look different (as we are twins and wanted to look slightly different) - Cathy had her hair curled and Anna had hers straight with both of us going for a natural look with makeup.
The stylist then had fun with us, as Anna is 8 months pregnant, they only had one maternity dress! After two outfit changes, Anna had a flowery dress and then Cathy had to try on five dresses to see which would look good next to Anna! Dress chosen was a little big so had large paper clips and pins holding the dress tight at the back!
Whilst this is taking place our dad is feeding the girls and looking after them. It was great that he could make the day as it was very helpful to have an extra pair of hands. The girls were absolute stars and as good as gold.
Photocall... the brief, that we are very excited and happy about our new business success in the economic recession! (which we are) Lots of posing and smiling.. and our girls running around and joining in the shoot.
1.30pm we are finished! we are both buzzing from such a fantastic experience and very excited about being included in the Magazine. Such an insight into what is needed for all National magazine pictures.
Home by 4pm and both exhausted - but would love to do it again!!
We will let you know the confirmed date for the article shortly.
Anna and Cathy
