Small surprises

Have you ever seen 40 president busts that are 2 stories high?  That was my yesterday.  I drive into this art space, and there are just heads and heads everywhere.  I couldn't figure out if it was really cool or really creepy.  I think we're going to go with cool. 

I get out of the car.  Look around.  President heads behind me.  A three story building with workers replacing the windows in front of me.  No sign of a blonde model.  I'm told to go to the third floor.  So I walk past the workers, all men, and climb the metal stairs to the third floor. I get to this huge open space, and there in the opposite corner, sitting down where I can barely see her, is the model.  I walk across the floor, wave tentatively, introduce myself.   Let the games begin. =)

I had 30 mins to shoot yesterday.  30 minutes!  I was like Regina, you're killing me here!  But we made magic.  Apparently when we are crunched for time, we all give our best from the beginning.  It was beautiful.  The lighting, the styling, the model, the location. 

Hoping for more magic while I'm here in Houston.  I still have 2 or 3 more shoots to do next week.  And I'm more than ready. 

2012-Thanks for everything. 

Scipio and Robin

I think I was barely conscious during this shoot.  I remember texting my friend that I was going to die.  Basically I had been running w/o much sleep at all.  Granted, that's how the last few months have been going. I have another long week ahead of me.  I'm hoping though since it's full of holiday parties and giving kids presents, that the lack of sleep and the feeling of being over worked will be smothered in all the good cheer.  Maybe?  =)  So this is Scipio and Robin.  They look pretty tough in that first photo don't they?  Don't let the image fool you.  They are both really nice.
