Santa Monica
Thursday, January 24, 2008 at 11:15PM I know you won't want to (because I never do). But PLEASE indulge me, and play this song. It will brighten your moment. And make you feel the possibility of things.
You know, I think it's easier to blog every day. Otherwise life piles up and there's too much to say at once. I'll start with the definite highlight. I got to shoot Brooke Burke in her new nursery that Katy designed! The shots might be used for Pregnancy and Newborn Magazine. The whole experience was amazing, but also intense. To make a long story short, photographing products is WAY different than photographing people. So it was a huge shift in perspective for me. It was also a lot of learning how to do things I'd never done before (like upload FTP files). Actually that one doesn't count because we still never figured it out. On top of that, our hotel (in the year 2008, in the heart of Santa Monica, mind you) did not have a WIFI connection! That made the next-day deadline crazy stressful to meet. We worked through it, but I have to give a special shout out to Katy. She is completely BIONIC in the amount of work she can handle. 8 months pregnant, she pushed harder than any of us. She is so cool under pressure, and pretty much STEAM ROLLS over obstacles. It's amazing. She deserves every bit of goodness that ever comes her way, and more.
I also got to (finally) meet Tracy Garcia, who was on the trip too. She does the most beautiful murals and canvas paintings for children's rooms. I'd been admiring her work from afar, since her appearance on The Living Show a while back. So it was great to finally see that the person behind it all, is just as cool as her work.
Then there was Little Miss Sunshine DD Cobb. Everyone needs to pack her in their suitcase for trips. She can make you laugh, even when you feel like crying. It's great, except for when she drops your $100 flash tubes on the ground because she has a finger cramp. (brat) :)
Okay, I've rambled ON. And I can't show any photos until the magazine comes out. But I do still have a ton of Hot Mama shots to post. So here are a few. 'Bout time we got some pictures up in here!!
DD-lisciousness.

And then Maile....!
Kindred souls. I love it.
K. Enough of that! Hurray for the conquered kingdoms! Hurray that you're back!
And hurray that the air is filled with the sound of your voice again!
Love, love and more love.
btw, we used live in Santa Monica...I miss the beach, but not the traffic. :)
Oh wait - maybe we should just shake everything and see if it still works??? :-)
HAHAHA... what a trip! But everything turned out great. Thank you for all your hard work.
Can't wait to see the REST of the Haute Mamas..... :)
Glad you had a great trip. Shmoozing with the stars...hmmm, we can all say we knew you WHEN...back before you became FAMOUS!
: )
How awesome for you!!! I don't know if Jason is into the UFC or not, but I am sure Kelly would be willing to swap a couple photos of Chuck Liddel or George St. Pierre for some pics of Brooke.
