I've had photo shoots before. I've had engagement pictures, wedding pictures, even family photo shoots throughout the years. I realized a few weeks ago that I needed publicity shots of me for my new blog and other things. So, I scheduled a session with my amazing wedding photographer, Geri Ciulla, who is my photographer for life. And then it happened.
The date arrived, yesterday, and I had a session just for and about me ! So the whole thing rested on my shoulders. I had nobody to fill the frame with me. I have to tell you...it was both exciting and nerve racking. When people call to ask what to wear, what to bring, what to do, I think I give them good advice. I hope I did/do! Now I know I will. I've been there, done that. Was I bringing the right clothes? How about my nails? A quick trip to the nail place got them in tip top shape. Would my hair look good (luckily my amazing hairstylist, Blake, took five minutes to straighten my hair the way only SHE can do it). How about my makeup? Bobbi Brown to the rescue. $170 worth of new makeup and a great look later, I finally got home to get ready. Whew! Seriously!
Once I got there and met up with Geri, I felt super relaxed. I used all of the things I tell people: relax, think of something stupid, look up, look around, look away, picture so and so and react as if they are there. It all worked! I can't wait to get the images back. I will be posting them on the blog for sure!
decisions, decisions...
