Oh Star, fall down on me..
Oh, star fall down on me
Let me make a wish upon you
Hold on, let me think
Think of what I’m wishing for
Wait, don’t go away
Just not yet
‘Cause I thought I had it
But I forget
And I won’t let you fall away from me
You will never fade
And I won’t let you fall away from me
You will never fade away from me
And now I let my dreams consume me
And tell me what to think
But hold on, hold on.
What am I dreaming?
Wait, don’t go away
Just not yet.
‘Cause I thought that I had it
But I forget
And I won’t let you fall away from me
You will never fade away
I won’t let you fall away
You will never fade away
And I won’t let you fall away
You will never fade away
And I won’t let you fall away from me
You will never fade
Oh, star fall down on me
Well, the long awaited workshop date has come and gone.. and…. it was fabulous. I never imagined that it would have gone as smoothly as it did or been as much FUN as it was. I had an amazing group of woman photographers from across Texas, Oklahoma and 2 sweet ladies who made a much longer trip.. 1 from Hawaii and 1 from Alaska!! To say that I feel honored to have had so many make the trek to Paris, is an understatement. I had such an amazing time getting to know and teaching all these beautiful ladies.
Here are some of my favorites from our first shoot “The Whimsy Shoot.” Our model, Baylor, did an AMAZING job and was absolutely beautiful. We had a hard time narrowing down the ideas for this shoot. We ended up using something different than I had originally brought to Jessica. This was the first shoot, but it was the last one that we finalized because we couldn’t narrow down exactly what we wanted to do. Finally we started leaning more toward a celestial and then i remembered a song I had heard on the radio while driving on day and jotted down. I thought the lyrics were beautiful and it would make for an awesome concept. The next thing I knew, Jessica was back in Houston and texting me images of the amazing things she had been crafting on all week. To see if all come together was awesome. She blew me away.
