Jessie J

Just going through some of my archive photos and came across the ones I took of Jessie J. I have so many fond memories of this photo shoot. I had contacted Jessie J management about a photo pass as well as to inform Jessie J of this very brave girl I knew who had the same illness as my son type 1 diabetes. This girl who I know had been going through a very tough time recently and I wrote a letter to Jessie J saying that part of my business I help children that have type 1 diabetes and now and again do special things for them so that they stay strong. Anyway I asked Jessie J management if there was anything they could do to help Cerys and her family. So a surprise was arranged and I remember phoning Cerys to tell her that she would be giong to the Jessie J concert with her mum and sister as well as will be meeting Jessie J at the meet and greet.

I was asked to attend the concert early and Jessie J management asked if I could photograph Jessie J with all her team back stage which I did. It was a real honour I had to stand on a big plynth part of the stage which was way up high ( I am scared of heights but just had to get on with it) and Jessie J and her amazing team posed for a group photo. I also went to meet Jessie J with Cerys and her family and posed for a photo. In between the meet and greet 2 runners came with me to a printing shop and we had 100 of my photos printed which Jessie J gave to all her team. I have many private fond memories from this concert and behind the scenes which I will treasure for ever. Jessie J was incredible with both her team, her fans and with Cerys and her family. I can't thank her enough for what Jessie J did. I was also asked to photograph the entire show which normally it is only the first 3 songs without flash. So it was a real honour.

I made up 2 professional albums of photos for Cerys and send them to her as a surprise to with all photos from the gig.

Just thought I would share some of the photos. Only editing done is adding my name and if the photo is black and white changing it to black and white.
