I was having a ‘yes’ day when I received the message from Laura reminding me that we had casually discussed working on a photo shoot… I said I’d put out a few feelers and see what could be arranged… a “hells yeah!” and some creative talent volunteering their time and it was a go! Our dear Louis is in the city honing his skills and attending school so it was a perfect time to work with a new photographer… I had been dragging my feet on new photos in his absence, despite it being ridiculously overdue.
Laura was lovely… she drove out in to the boonies to join us, scaled ravines, got dripped on, ate scrumptious gooey cake with her hands, and gave really great direction to the models. A joy to work with! And I think the photos speak for themselves.
Avrell donned her ninja stylist gear and somehow made an antler stay in Nicole’s hair without the use of a staplegun. ;*)
Robin brought her epic makeup skills and some really great sponges for dabbing the water dripping off the trees and through the models eyes and makeup… super trooper!
Nicole and Richie… they are gorgeous. Inside and Out. Avrell and I were on our (semi) best behaviour and took our usual heckling down a notch, I think we were just stunned speechless by their beauty… or maybe there were too many new talents and we didn’t want to let on that we are not complete professionals… or maybe we were just trying to not scare off the wolf.
Thank you all for showing up, bringing your top skills, being super fun to spend the day with and seeming willing to do it all again! Big Love, Lara xoxo
ps. A big thank you to Melissa who never fails to send a truly delicious cake for us to molest and devour! xo
