Teaser... Shoot with Oeil and MissPhom

I love a challenged.

Sometimes they scare me, but I still love them.

This week I had the fantastic and scary challenge of creating a set in my house for the first time… ever.

By set, I mean - setting up a ton of cool props and making it look like something... Hey Im no pro ;-)

It was really a wonderful opportunity since I got to work with the fabulous Michelle again who invited MissPhom who is a complete delight.

Both gave me all creative freedom over the project.

I totally put together not only the sets but the creative for my wardrobe and hair.

Sonia Garza took my idea and ran with it… I’m pleased to say that even with setbacks what came out was better than I expected.

These ladies really did a wonderful job.

Here are a few teasers courtesy of MissPhom…. in record time no less!

I’ll post more about the shoot tomorrow, but for now I have to get some beauty sleep before my laptop turns into a pumpkin ;-)

Update:

Michelle with Oeil posted her own teaser on shoot

Again, everyone was really awesome to work with, I always feel very fortunate to be surrounded by such talent!

Photo Shoot - Michelle with Oeil

There were so many great shots from the shoot with Michelle, it was had to pick out my favorites…

But I tried anyway...

This one... I love, love, love.

Taken while trotting past her after chashing down thoes seagulls.

What fun.

And I love this one, though I dont know why... it just seems sweet... lostish' and girlish' to me...

Finally... this one.

Because it is so dramatic.

If you haven’t chased Seagulls in a wedding dress, you haven’t lived…

It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood!

I had another cancellation so I’m using the time to network, return calls, (blog) among other things…

And I’m doing all of this from my lovely back porch…

Ahhhh….

It’s truly a beautiful thing.

I had a shoot yesterday with a wedding photographer, Michelle at Oeil

Who’s work I adore.....

We had a lot of fun… we both were on a limited amount of time so we got the shoot done in less than an hour, but I felt like we still did a lot.

I’m anxious to see how they turned out.

Michelle’s concept was pretty cool, we shot at the beach on some big rocks (big for Florida) I did my hair kinda messy updo and painted my nails black and wore dark lipstick.

It was different, A little Edgy. Interesting... veryvery.

Michelle was very cool down to earth.

As usual, I talked too much and was the total dork that I am.

But I had a great time.

And I got to chase some seagulls in my wedding dress which was tons of fun.

And stand up on rocks and pretend to be a diva.

It was definitely some of the most fun I’ve had, mostly because I got to play, it was so out of the box…. I loved that.

I can’t wait to see the pictures, of and Michelle took some kind of video of me running down the beach, my veil flew off while I was doing this so I don’t know if she will use it or not, or if it even turned out.

But the recorder she used was cool; it was a tiny little thing, something I’ve never seen before….

Unrelated to the world of fashion… I was taking a shower before the shoot yesterday morning and the bathtub fixture flew right out of the wall, spraying water everywhere.
So yesterday after the shoot, I came home and repaired my bathtub/shower.

Yes…. I rock.

The only reason I did it was because I pictured my poor hubby getting home from work at 7pm and having to go into the bathroom and work on the shower for 3 hours.

I went to Lowes, got the parts (I took the broken part and they gave me everything I needed)and fixed it myself.

I am awesome.

Haha.

I was actually really scared I was going to screw it up, because there were a lot of little parts and cement, and o rings and other stuff involved.

And I had to saw a piece of PVC and I only had one chance to get the measurements right.

But the shower works now.

And Hubby hubster was very surprised and happy.

Yay Me.

If modeling doesn’t work out, I can be a plumber.
