It's not everyday you get a message from random strangers saying "We need a model and we heard you might be available!"
Let me start off by saying, I was on the fence about going for multiple reasons!
1. Stranger Danger! However, after a quick phone conversation saying and asking all of the right things, I knew it was legitimate AND we were meeting in a public place!
2. It was an hour drive and I was already loosing daylight!
3. I was gross! I had been working outside all day and I needed a shower like yesterday!
Finally I decided "What's life without a little adventure?!"
So I showered without washing my hair, (Gasp!) and put makeup on as fast as I possibly could!
I headed towards the beach with a feeling of nervous excitement in my tummy!
When I met the girls I knew I had made the right decision!
These were my kind of people, you could tell that what they were doing wasn't just a job for them.
They truly loved every part of it!
The team was made up of two stylists and a photographer.
I found out that the photographer was shooting with film!!!
I was elated but I had never done a photo shoot with film so it was also a little bit daunting!
You carefully wait for the perfect shot and you don't see them right away on a little screen!
Jennifer(The photographer) sends them off to a little photo lab and doesn't get them back until a week or two later.
I'm so used to digital these days and all of it's instant gratification.
But I must say there is just something about film, a romantic quality that makes everything look soft like you could reach through and touch the skirt of this amazing dress.
