Did you ever have one of those weekends where your chi was just so totally off that even though everything turned out fabulous, the getting to the fabulocity was just a bitch?! Yeah, it was sooo one of those weekends for me.
Before I share the fabulous, read my venting and emphatize.
Friday….I decided that I was over the highlights in my hair (actually, I was over the cost of said highlights), so I went to Target and bought my standard hair color….only they didn’t have my normal hair color and I went with second best and after drenching my hair in the stuff and making Mike wear the glovies so that he could get the back of my head and waiting the allotted time, I screeched when I looked in the mirror at my frizzy hair and exclaimed, “CRAP! I look like Cher!”
Saturday…fabulous wedding…spectacular locations…AMAZING couple…torrential downpour. This shot was taken in said downpour with my fabulous assistant, April, holding an umbrella over my head and camera. See? Fabulousness! Just hell to get there.
Saturday morning, as I’m getting ready to go shoot Becky and Mark’s wedding, I realize that my make-up bag is no where to be found. No.Where. I drilled people, I searched the house, I even cleaned out my car. Nothing. Girls…you feel my pain. My face was in there! Even though I’m not one to wear too much, I LOVE my MAC products. And now, it’s gone. So, I braved the public with generic makeup and with the rain and humidity I’m sure I was just lovely once the ceremony was over.
Sunday…UGH! Is it over yet?! There I am, blissfully working away on backing up images when I get to the last card and get that dreaded message that every photographer fears…”your images are corrupt…throw out that piece of crap card because it’s now shot.” After sweating bullets, determining that I needed more coffee and focusing, problem solved. Images rescued and card thrown away. I don’t think the issue is the card, but I’m not taking any chances.
Sunday afternoon, I realize that I really need to buy makeup so I head out and nearly keel over when I’m told how much just the basics costs. Really? Are you kidding me that foundation, concealer, brushes, blush, lipstick (just one color), lip pencil, sharpener, mascara and powder…oh, and a cute new bag…costs THAT much?!
THEN…as I’m getting ready to meet up with tonight’s uber fabulous couple for their engagement session, I see that there’s a message on my phone. Nick saying, “uh…are you coming?” Yeah…apparently my brain went on vacation and didn’t send me the memo because my session with Nick and Jenn was at 4 and here it was, 10 of 5 and I could have sworn that we were meeting up at 6. Nice! Despite our late start, we got some fantabulous sweet light and even more fabulous images. See?
So…that, Internet, wraps up my weekend. Fabulous in the throws of adversity. Bring on Monday!
