Week 8

hey hey

I have to apologize for this late post.  The past 2 weeks haven't been the best for me, but life goes on.  2015 got off to a pretty good start for me.  I don't think I mentioned it, but I did my very first photo shoot!  It was a very good experience and one I look forward to repeating.  The photographer is a friend of a friend.  He did a shoot with my "baby" sister last year, which I did her makeup for.  Then I followed her out to the shoot; part makeup artist, part chaperone lol.  We got to the locale, he took one look at me and stated very plainly, "You're next." So I was like, "Um, okay," not really taking him seriously.  But apparently, not only was he quite serious, he took the time out to come up with  ideas and locales specifically for me.  How about that?

Anyway, here are a few spoilers from my shoot. 
 
If you've never been on or participated in a photo shoot, let me tell you.  It's harder than it looks.



I've seen ANTM.  I'm guilty of sayin to myself, "I could do that,"  I've learned to appreciate what those ladies go through.  Or gentlemen, respectively.




Yes, the water was cold.  But it's just one of those things you have to suck up, grin and bear it.  You'd be surprised the things you can get used to if you just tough it out.





So, there is is.  All in all, he took roughly 182 picture.  I didn't even know it was that many til I saw the sheets.  I'm actually surprised at how they turned out.  Ever have a moment when you see something that looks like you but it hasn't really registered that it really is you?  That's how I feel looking at these pictures.  It's a little bit surreal to me because the lady in those pics looks like a model.  Like she should be on some magazine cover or in some brochure.  Guess I'm a natural.  Go figure . . .
