photoshoot

My first ever photo session for a national magazine was SO much more fun than when I usually have my picture taken. When I usually have my picture taken, it's by Rob (producer and bandmate) because he knows a little about cameras. And though he's come up with some good shots, it's usually a long and laborious process and most of the time we end up laughing at how dorky I look.

When the pros showed up, my first response was that I felt like throwing up. I was nervous. After all, they're probably going to laugh at how dorky I am. But they didn't laugh. And the photographer seemed to be happy so I was happy. Everybody was happy and at the end of the day I made margaritas and then we all went out to dinner. It really was a wonderful day. Everybody was so nice and fun to be with. The pictures are for Hallmark's debut magazine. It will be a Sept./Oct. issue that will hit the stands in August. Look for me - I'll be the dorky one (but I'll be very well lit and framed beautifully!).

I thought about throwing a tantrum or two. I thought about insisting that I have a large trailer even though they were taking the pictures at my house. I thought about demanding clustered water. But I didn't. I hope they weren't disappointed.
