Behind the scenes of my Self Mag photo shoot

Roanna glamming me up!

I woke up yesterday very excited to get going with my Self Magazine photo shoot! I got the knock at the door and there was photographer Mali Azima, her assistant Collin and makeup artist Roanna Bales. I liked them, the moment they set foot in my house lol.

Lots of ducks in the park lol

When you’re working close to someone, you want to have great energy around you and they had plenty of that! You guys know I’m a chatter box and I quickly started asking questions like, so who have you shot? Who’s face have you done? How do you like working with Self Magazine lol. I was firing off the questions like a cannonball lol.

Roanna’s Work

Mali told me that she has shot a lot of celebs like Keri Hilson. She loves to shoot interiors as well. She showed me her website and I loved her work! Roanna on the other hand said she has made up many of faces and that she has done a lot of ad work. She said, it pays the bills. We laughed when I asked her what celebrity she has did makeup on, and she said, Sarah Palin. I was very intrigued with that.

Last minute touches

I got dressed and Pia, and the crew was off to the park to start the shoot. It was about 8:30 in the morning and it was already getting warm out.The geese were outside yapping and people were out doing their morning walk. We knew it was going to be a beautiful day for a shoot.

Sneak Peek at some of the photos,wow!

Mali made me feel very comfortable and she had a lot of great ideas with the shoot. Collin was being very patient with the different shots and putting the reflector behind me. Roanna touched me up a lot because it was getting hot fast! I have to say this was the best time I’ve had in a long time and everyone was so professional. I really enjoyed my shoot and I have a couple of behind the scenes shots here for you to see! Please remember to pick up a copy of Self Magazine, I will be in the December issue. I would like to thank Self Mag, Esprit clothing, Tara Fine Jewelry and all the crew and Pia for making me feel very special! xoxo
