So I’m sitting here in our GORGEOUS “Diva flat” here in Paris, France… the soft morning light is peeking through the window at my right, and as I glance down, I see these cute little yellow flowers in the pot on the windowsill. I LOVE this city! Down below the window, there’s a cute cobblestone courtyard with lush green trees (where we will just HAVE to shoot later this week with one of our models!) Marissa is currently walking to our front door to let in a few of our models, and as I’m eating my delicious chocolate croissant, I figured I’d write a quick little blog post to update all of you. Today is our day of SHOOTING – which is always just so much fun. A day full of high-energy, with lots of activity, as our workshop attendees have a chance to work with 3 beautiful models here in our awesome Parisian apartment! We’ve been prepping for this workshop for about 9 months, and the day of shooting is always just so much fun! M & I love this day, and we LOVE figuring out all of the styling for our models! We’ve been planning their outfits for a while, and this little video just shows a short 30-second clip of all of us from last week, when we were packing and getting all of the outfits figured out:
This week has been a wild ride, with a lot of unexpected turns along the way. If you’ve been following the blog or the news, you’ll know that there’s been an UNPRECEDENTED shut-down of air traffic coming to Europe… which has resulted in a bit of a nightmare for us here, logistically. Our wonderful assistant Ashley is stuck in San Diego… our gorgeous models are all stuck in California… along with ALL of our workshop attendees from the US! 🙁 So so sad! We went from 14 workshop attendees down to just 5 who were able to make it out here for this week. It’s a definite bummer, and we’re SO VERY SORRY for all of you photographers who were supposed to come but just couldn’t make it. I know that you all are extremely disappointed, and we want you to know that we’re going to miss you! With that said, we’re very happy to be here, and we’re thankful that the handful of five photogs were able to get here! And so… the show must go on. 🙂 We’ve been able to find 3 models here in Paris, and as of right now, the workshop will be starting in about 15 minutes! It’s going to be an amazing week, and we’re looking forward to a small, intimate workshop of 5 fab attendees. We’ll be posting more videos and updates soon, so be sure to check back! xoxo, Kimberlee
