Whew! We made it home and are back at it. It goes with out saying that Crystal and Deena did a fantastic job of keeping the place running smoothly, as usual. Thanks Ladies! We had such a great trip in Paris. Reminder: We were in Paris, France for almost a month teaching two boudoir photography workshops and enjoying our favorite city in between. Obviously a few stressful moments thanks to a major natural disaster but in hindsight it could have been worse. About half of our attendees couldn’t make it out but luckily they will be joining us for our June boudoir workshop here in our studio in San Diego.
Now for the goodies. Paris was even more beautiful than we left it last time. I swear the morning light is even pinker and the nights and even more enchanting. I’ll never forget the night we slowly walked along the Seine taking in the lights of Notre Dame, the bridges overs the river, Il de la cite, and then the Louvre with the Eiffel sparkling in the distance. No one really even spoke, there really was nothing to say. “It’s so beautiful,” wouldn’t have even come close to doing it justice. Maybe Kimberlee took some photos she will share in future, but as usual, for me when I am in a location that is just too pretty for words, I can’t even pick up my camera, I just want to soak it all in. Which of course I inevitably regret later and then feel like I can’t really call myself a true blue photographer if I am not always wanting to pick up my camera. Oops.
The Paris Boudoir Workshop (year two of us doing this fun project!) was a real treat for us. Just sharing and chatting for hours about our passion, showing the attendees how we pose and light our clients, how we make them feel comfortable, always puts us right into our element. We hope to have a lot more to share in the future, there is always so much to do when we get home. So for now I leave you with a few teasers….
