I am so excited to share this little bit of yumminess with you today! Meet Jai, she is a fabulous actress out of Los Angeles that our friend Autumn introduced us to. And I'm sooo glad she did. Thanks Autumn! We shot Jai in Palm Springs last week and I am just so stoked about these frames. Chris and I concepted the shoot around capturing Jai's fun, playful freedom of spirit. I love this girl. I'm pretty sure we were best friends in a past life.  Jai has never done Myers Briggs temperament test, but I'm pretty positive she has to be an ENFP, because I have never met an ENFP I didn't fall in love with ;)

I have to give a huge shout out to the very talented make up artist, Kimberly Bragalone, who worked with us on this shoot. This whole team was just "locked-in" for this shoot. The moment the four of us (Jai, Kim, Chris and me) were together, the energy in the room just felt incredible and I knew it was going to be a killer shoot. I cannot stress the importance of working with people that you have a good compatibility with. That is sooo HUGE for us. Having someone on set with a good attitude changes the entire day. I think it is pretty safe to say that all of us walked away from this shoot feeling a nice little hop in our step and dorky grins glued to our faces.

I will post the underwater portion of our shoot with Jai later this week and I'll share a little more about that when I post it :) And to our faithful blog readers, I've been a bit off on my post-a-day track record, but alas, life is getting ahead of me! I'm going to do my best this week. I've got a lot more goodness coming your way.

Love this shoot, I just realized I forgot to post after I spend an hour going through the 1st 10 pages of archives, but i guess I edit fast and was looking at as much as I could as fast as I could. Nice work. All of it.
