Shooting the Wind

Had a wonderful shoot with Andy from Black Box Imagery. The wind was horrible and so what was perfect hair was turned into a perfect rats nests in less than a minute of being of outside.

But towards the end I threw it up in some bobby pins and we tried to make it work.

We definitely had fun.

We were trying to get some commercial looks – but the wind kept attacking my hair and I was eating lip gloss flavored hairspray like nobody’s business.

So in many of them I have a wicked comb over going on.

Then I wised up and pulled out the bobby pins... which helped a little.

I just like this one which is more about composition, but I thought it was really pretty...

The best stuff we got was at the end of the day when we were ‘done’ Andy suggested shooting at the beach. Photographers usually know what they are doing…

And this one is my fav, because its so me. Goofy.

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.
