Behind the Scenes - Twigs & Honey Lookbook Photo Shoot

Yesterday I had the opportunity to assist my sister, Myra of Twigs & Honey with her first lookbook photo shoot.  It was a gorgeous day, beautiful location, fantastic photographer, wonderful stylist, amazing hair & makeup artist, and the best models.  All-in-all, a great shoot.  It was really fun helping my sister pick out pieces for the models to wear.  I was basically running around (actually more like walking around) helping where ever I could.  I loved it so much, I'm thinking about assisting her with all future photo shoots. 

I can't show you any of the real shots today, but I can share a few behind the scenes photos of the cutest model of the day.  By the way, these photos were taken with my new Blackberry Bold 9700. Not bad huh?

Myra getting Olivia Bee ready for the first look.


A few test shots and adjustments.  Such a beautiful garden. 
Myra's antique sewing machine and table in the background.


Olivia Bee is so sweet and so professional.  We're really hoping to work with her again in the future.


If you haven't heard of her yet, you will soon.  She is an amazingly talented photographer as well as a model.  Check out her website HERE.

P.S. Sorry, I had to add the word verification thing because I kept getting spam.  I really don't like it, but I dislike spam even more.

P.P.S. Check out Josie's blog post about my rope bracelet.  So sweet!!!  View HERE.

    PS - Of course your way is better than the other way!!! Going through the neck opening stretches the collar. =)

    I do tease my wife about it once in a while. But honestly, if she's willing to fold the laundry, she can do it any way she wants to. I'm just glad not to be doing it.
