A beach photo shoot.

Back in March I had a girlfriend's weekend and it was of course a lot of fun.  As always.  Girlfriend time.  Blogger meet-up.  Family time.  Coffee.  The beach.  Photo Shoot(s).  I wanted to share the fabulous photos from my morning photo shoot at the beach.  My girlfriend,  Kirsten, of Mia Stella Photography is the creative genius behind the shoot.  She's in Southern California so if you are in need of a photography and live in LA she's your gal.  That afternoon we had a boudoir shoot too.  And yes, I've decided to share those photos as well.

Let me provide a little background for this shoot.  Kirsten suggested that I wear a bright colored shirt and worn jeans.  I thought the jewelry was a nice touch, don't you?  And of course I wanted to wear my shades.  It was a shoot at the beach after all.  Let me just tell you that I was hot, temperature hot.  My bright colored shirt was acrylic and I was wearing jeans and boots.  It was a bit warm.  But, you wouldn't know it by looking at the pictures.

Let me know what you think.

I'm not sure which one I like best...  Which version do you like?  I think I need to do a collage.

The bottom 1/2 of my jeans were soaked after this photo.  And to think I only jumped once. 
Fabulous shutter speed Kirsten.

Love this one too!

Love the editing as well.  Me in color.  The background in black and white.

I love this photo.  I especially like it because its in black and white.  But, I love it in color too and then the question is which color version...  Decision, decisions.
It's important to note that this was a totally "impromptu" photo...
I was trying to get positioned and ended up laughing because I didn't want to fall in the water. 
And at the same time I was trying to pull my jeans up, I didn't have a belt on. 

The water was very, very, very cold.  And I love feet at the beach. 
I always take photos of my feet and Bern's while we are at the beach.  Kirsten took this photo though.

I was chillin'.  Listening the seals and listening to the water.

One of our props.

This is my one of my favorite photos.

Another favorite.  I love the editing Kirsten did on this photo.  Love it!

Love it!

Again, I love it.  Now, which version do you like.

Love the editing!

Which do you like black and white or color?  Hmmm...I'm undecided.

I really like my smile in this photo.

Alas, I'm done.  I hope you enjoyed my "about me" post.  Have a wonderful day.  And let me know your thoughts.  One day soon I'll be posting a few of the boudoir photos.  Don't forget to check out Mia Stella Photography too.

Thank you Kirsten for some wonderful photos!  I'm looking forward to our next shoot.
