HER modelling career has taken her all over the world and she has been pictured in some of the globe’s most glamorous locations.
But for Natalie Oag one of the jobs she is most proud of strikes a lot closer to home.
The Lyth model has once again worked with award-winning photographer John Baikie to produce her second calendar to raise money for the Pink Ribbon Foundation, which helps women who suffer from breast cancer.
Miss Oag shot her first calendar last year to help raise money for the charity after her aunt was diagnosed with the illness.
The calendar, which was marketed ?online and in Wick, was a big hit and ? copies sold out, resulting in almost £1000 being raised with all profits going to the ?charity.
Now the former Wick High School pupil said that this year’s calendar is going just as well, with sales already up on 12 months ago.
“So far we have sold 200 copies of the calendar which is great news for the charity,” she said.
“Last year’s calendar sold out within a matter of weeks of it being first released and we decided just to do it again as it was a great way to make some money for such a worthy cause.
“Everyone has lost someone in their family or knows someone close to them who has suffered from cancer and to me that was my auntie.
“Getting the opportunity to do something for charity which helps people through this illness is very important to me.”
In this year’s calendar, Miss Oag is pictured in a number of locations from as far afield as Italy and Spain as well as in Highland locations such as Aviemore.
And she says she has had a great response and members of the public have offered her a lot of positive feedback.
Since leaving school Miss Oag has travelled the world working as a model for various publications. This year alone she has been photographed in Austria, Jersey and the Netherlands.
She has worked with John Baikie for seven years on a number of different assignments and rates him as one of the best photographers she has teamed up with.
The calendar is on sale now and can be bought via www.natalieoag.co.uk or from Amanda’s Creative Florist in Dempster Street, Wick.
