Fashion photos

Kristy and I had our first fashion  photo shoot with a couple of our hair products!  No, we’re not really models but we felt like it after getting in the water for these pictures.

As I got in the water I remember telling myself not to think about how disgusting the water was.  It really was gross.  But then I kept looking down and seeing mossy swampy green stuff swimming around my ankles and squishing between my toes.  Ewe.  I hope I didn’t disappoint Jessica, the photographer, by not  going in further.  I think originally she wanted us to fully submerge our bodies. I’m sure those would have been some great dramatic photos but my pride and comfort was on the line.  Yours would be too.  Just take my word for it.  Kristy was even more scared then me and almost knocked me in grabbing me for comfort.  She has been known to do things like that.  Once she thought there was a bug on her shirt so in her frantic movement she tried to wipe it on me to find out that it was just a leaf.

So while I was getting deeper in the water Kristy was so kind to tell me that scorpions were probably in the water.  *swift head turn*  ”Seriously?”  I mean, fish – fine, they’re harmless.  Mosquitoes - whatever, it’s hard to escape them anyway.  But scorpions?  No way!  I have never been stung by a scorpion and don’t intend to.  Ever.  Not that anyone plans on it but still.  So as I was in the water trying to not think of the fact that I was actually in the water, I told myself to think of happy things.  Maria VonTrapp’s happy thoughts are raindrops on roses and whispers on kittens, Anna Leonowens  whistles a happy tune but I always think of the same thing:   “rainbows and babies”.  I have since I was like 6.  It’s either “rainbows and babies” or “I am a Child of God”  Well, the water didn’t last long and I wasn’t stung by a scorpion. *sigh*

Here are some of my favorite pictures.

I feel like I have a Barbie for a sister-in-law looking at this picture.

Check out those calves!

We call this “The Leg Picture” but I don’t really know why . . .

You think Kristy is photogenic?  Look at those weeds behind her!

Jessica gets 90% credit for the successfulness of these photos because Kristy and I would just look weird without Jessica’s  amazing camera and mad picture taking and editing skills.  Below are a couple pictures of her taken by Kristy.

I want those shoes!

So, as you can see, Jessica is talented on both ends of the camera.

Trust me when I tell you that her photos make people look better than in real life.
