Photoshoot with my dancers!

These girls will be in my new video for the song 'Boom' and will be coming on tour with me so we thought it was about time to do a promotional photo shoot with them!
Introducing Mikhaela, Andrea, Kara and Chloe!
At 9am we all headed to Glow Studios and went straight into hair and make-up. I brought some home made chocolate cookies to the shoot for the girls but our photographer Srdjan had already set up a whole bench full of lollies, croissants, jam donuts and other snacks! We had a feast!
For the shoot we did a couple of different looks.
First each girl wore a casual outfit and got head shots and body shots. There were heaps of clothes for us to choose from as Rhea, the designer from 'Die Pretty', had given us a whole range of stuff to mix and match with our own pieces. I did a runway for 'Die Pretty' in fashion week so I was so happy to wear the clothes again!
The next look was some sparkly outfits which will feature in the 'Boom' music video. The leggings from these were also by 'Die Pretty'. These were action shots so the girls were kicking and jumping in heels! AH!
I was quite happy I didn't have to do these crazy shots because I'm sure I would have fallen on my face...Chloe even put her heel through the concrete floor she was jumping so hard! But for the music video I will be dancing in heels so I better get used to it...
The last shots were group shots all together. That was really fun because we got to interact and do different formations.

I brought along the little video camera my friends got me for my birthday so here is a behind the scenes video!



Some photos from the shoot are also below!


Being silly...If anyone wants to shoot with an amazing photographer I highly recommend Srdjan!

VHP Girls

I have some exciting news! For the music video for the song 'Boom' we are having four amazing backup dancers!
The boom video will be shot in a studio and we have been planning hard to work out all the details like the perfect hair and make-up artists, the coolest clothes from emerging Melbourne designers and we have already started working on our dance routine for the clip.
The VHP girls will also be involved in our upcoming tour!
We are planning a massive show complete with smoke, glitter, quick costumes changes and these amazing four dancers.
We did a couple of days of auditions and saw heaps of great dancers. It was tricky because we had to consider lots of things like similar heights, dance styles and personality as well as how well they could dance. In the end we found the perfect crew.
On our first rehearsal for the 'Boom' video we asked the girls to go nuts and show us what they could do...
I have a little sneak peak video for you...but I will introduce them properly soon!
