Wheee! I just got back from my photo shoot and it was soooooooooooooooo much fun! It was a really interesting day. The photographer does a wide variety of work, so there was a wild conglomerate of different people there throughout the day. I was supposed to be a quick shoot first thing this morning, but it evolved into a lot more, which was awesome.

The make-up artist had a bit of car trouble, so by the time she arrived, the next model (this one a real honest-to-god model who works in DC) was on her way. So to make a long story short, since this model was on a time schedule and the make-up artist wanted to play around with my face for some things for her portfolio, the photographer did her first, and in the meantime, I get about an hour and a half's worth of make-up done. Seriously. Since I was just there to have some fun and to give them a chance to try new things, this girl went all out and did a very Cirque-esque job - a bit of face paint on my temples, fake eyelashes, jewels...it was so neat. I looked like a doll! So once the photographer finished with the model he did a lot of artsy shots with me.

Then a friend of theirs came in for a corporate head shot dealie, so in the meantime I got more "real" make-up done and did some more casual shots that I can hopefully just use for RAM stuff. Very cool!

I'm usually really self-conscious about myself, but this is something I wanted to try for a really long time. And both of them were really cool...I had told the photographer flat out that I had skin issues earlier this week, but he was really laid back about it and didn't make me feel pressured at all. Plus with things getting better on my end, I think that helped me feel better about it. I felt so comfortable, regardless. I can't wait to see how these pics came out! And even if they don't, the experience was a great one. :-D
