Day 5 California photo shoot:)

Best day yet!  We shot fitness by the pool, and all that I can say is that I was stunned by the results.  We moved from outfit to outfit very quickly and got shots that I had no idea would be that great.  Thankfully the last day of shooting as I am soooooo tired!

Day 4 California photo shoot:)

Such a fun day of shooting:)  Lauren Melton, my favorite makeup artist in California and an all around sweet girl came to the room to do my hair and makeup in the morning.  We chatted away because we haven't done a shoot together in a year, and there was so much to catch up on.  Having someone there to support me and make me laugh really made all the difference.  We laughed hysterically many times throughout the day, and made some fun videos of the actual shoot.

Something happened this photo shoot.....just sort of clicked inside me, and I felt so much more confident as a model.   I'd be lying if I said that it wasn't hard work, and a long day, but I had so much more fun this shoot than I ever have before.  It's such a nice feeling when you like yourself, and just start to feel really positive.  I think I've gotten past needing to be perfect, and now I just accept who I am and play up my strengths.

Around 4:00 I started to fade energy-wise, and Lauren and I stopped the shoot to go pick up sushi and yummy, healthy food.  I can't work a long day of shooting without enough to eat...I need energy:)

Sorry this blog is a bit delayed, I was so busy on the shoot I never got to send this:)  Btw, the pic today is one that Christopher (the amazzzzzzzing photographer) sent me.  It"s a funny pic (so me) with instructions from him about the shoot:)

Day 3 California photo shoot

Yesterday I was feeling a little critical of myself....I think this is natural anytime I do a photo shoot.  There is a certain amount of pressure knowing that you have to look your best.  I started my day off with oatmeal, protein powder and berries....always my fave when I travel (easy and tons of energy) and a shot of espresso.

The first shot we did was on Hollywood Boulevard, and I have never had so many people swarm around me...AND actually have to model.  People were taking pictures of me getting my picture taken, and asking who was I????? and what is it for??  Trial by fire!  I was a little overwhelmed at first, but by the end of the day....feeling so much more comfortable in front of the camera.

After the shoot, we went and ate tons of sushi.....it was the perfect end to a great day:)  xoxo
