red dirt

Today was so much fun! Today was the photoshoot for my major project, 'Advocate for the Artisans'. Thankyou to my great friends Bethany Tara (photographer) and Rachel (makeup artist) for all their wonderful skills and to my beautiful sister Courtney who modeled - you look amazing and you were so open to do whatever I needed, you're the best!

The weather did not look so good until Courtnie braved the cold and rain in shorts and a tshirt... and then the sun came out! The shoot was at a semi-construction location where they had dumped all this red dirt - we even had a local stop by to ask why we were doing it "here of all places!". The first time I drove by I immediately thought - this is where the photo shoot must be. The red dirt brought me back to the rural villages of Bhuj, Gujarat, India. It is the only place I have seen lately that reminds me of being in India. I am so glad at how today has turned out. The weather, the dirt, the people, the colours, the look. Love it.
The shots look amazing, I am so thrilled with them! They are exactly what I wanted and more! The jewellery bells are the focus and I got more shots than I needed! Thankyou B! You did a wonderful job of directing and as always, your photos are stunning!!! And most of all, we had fun!
