My second flight was delayed and I didn't get into San Jose airport until about 10 pm last night. My kids were there, in their jammies, to pick me up. I was so excited to see them I was able to get past the fact that it was a school night and WAY past their bedtimes! My husband actually did a remarkable job holding down the fort in my absence and even sent me iphone pictures of dinnertime with the kids to prove he was serving them vegetables! Hilarious! It's good to be home but geesh, I've got so much to do now!
I've already blogged at length about how incredible my "Give Me Moore" photography workshop experience with Kelly was so there's nothing more to say anything more than just: WOW. I have so much admiration for her mad skills!
Our models, Eric and Blythe, were absolutely PERFECT in every possible way. Kelly and her stylist/assistant extraordinaire Brandi visualized this uber cool vintage "anthropologie" style shoot that just rocked my world. Anyone who knows me, knows just how crazy I am about that style. We lucked out on the weather too as a huge storm came in the night of the shoot right after we wrapped it up. PHEW!
I have spent all day today, in between unpacking, dealing with the kids and attending to urgent business stuff, editing my heart out! I won't be able to edit the entire session (over 200 images) until much later as I have client sessions I need to get to, but I pulled out my favorite 30 images and did those. Here they are.
THANK YOU Kelly, Brandi, Eric and Blythe for such a magical day.
It's unreal how gorgeous this girl is. Can you believe this was her first time modeling ever?!
Eric was so debonair and SUCH a gentleman... Easy on the eyes too....
These next two were taken with kelly's 45mm tilt shift lens... I'd never used a tilt shift lens before, which is all manual focus! I LOVED it. Finding that sweet spot is not easy but when you do, holy moly...wow.
My excitement to play around with OCF (off camera flash) was probably palpable at that point and then when I saw these images on the LCD I was DELIRIOUS. I do believe I squealed like a little girl, jumped up and down and said a few unrepeatable words.
Could she be more stunning?!
