Behind the Lens at the "Beauty for Ashes" shoot...


The week before, I casually stumbled upon a quaint, off the main streets of Zang Blvd, small arts district.    The shops in this area were small in size but expressive.  When I saw the Bishop Arts District, I knew I had to set up a shoot there immediately. 

Fast forward to yesterday. I thought by having the models meet me at the location at 8:30am, I would be saving us all from showing signs of heat stroke as we set out to make magic.  However, I obviously forgot about one important detail... WE WERE SHOOTING IN TEXAS!!!  Geez, about an hour in, we were HOT and thirsty!  There was a shop owner who kindly gave us cups of ice water. I'm not a big tap water fan, but it was like finding an oasis in the desert! I offered to pay her, but she repeatedly refused. I even took my money out, but she refused. 

I couldn't let a good deed go unnoticed, so...
I am the proud owner of some Expressions Boutique sunglasses :)  Aren't they lovely??? Shout out to the kind hearted lady who owned this shop. Stop by and show her some love.  She's on the corner of Madison and Seventh.  You just may find something there that "expresses" who you really are.
