prettyGeeky Photoshoot for Gemco Jewelry

I feel like a Greek goddess from my novel

In April I did a photoshoot for Gemco Jewelry, an awesome family-owned retailer here in SoCal.

We found photographers prettyGeeky through the power of the internet - fellow writer Lori's sister is one half of this down-to-earth photography duo.

prettyGeeky scouted amazing locales:

• a helipad on the rooftop of a luxury downtown L.A. apartment, where we were shut down by security
• a secluded cove on an Orange County beach that slowly flooded us out of our location

50 degrees and high winds, but so worth it

Heading South with the Boyfriend

Let's go Vin; my ex Dwayne looks mad!

A girl can dream, can't she? :P

Although my real boyfriend looks nothing like these hulking specimens, he is taking me across country on a Grand Ol' South Tour to visit Rebecca Enzor in Charleston and a childhood friend in Nashville who swears there are Asians at Vanderbilt.

As requested, more pics of the photo shoot last week are coming.  For now, I'll leave you with another outfit that didn't make the cut - the beach bridal look:

I'm on a Photo Shoot

I'm modeling jewelry!

It's been a crazy, packed week chasing down makeup artists and zipping myself into countless dresses.  The whole team didn't think we'd get it together in time, but as creative endeavors often do, everything came together in the end.

Last night I was on a rooftop overlooking downtown L.A.  Today I'm crouching against rocks at the beach in Orange County, hoping the tide doesn't sweep me away.

Here's a dress that didn't make the cut, but is fabulous:

In addition to this shoot, my a capella group is taking official photos tomorrow.  And I still have to work then pack for a weeklong trip - that begins Monday morning.

AAAAAAAHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....
