We've all heard of a bucket list, right? It's that list you make of things before you die or "kick the bucket." I hear that phrase from time to time. But, I've never been involved in actually helping someone accomplish one of the goals on the list....until yesterday.
I met Carmen at a birthday party that both my kids and her kids were attending about 2 years ago. We hit it off right away and talked non stop for the next 2 hours. I actually haven't seen her since that party, but we became friends on Facebook right away. I see her posts every once in awhile and she sees mine.
This past weekend I got 2 FB messages from Carmen and a New Client Inquiry through my website. She had come across a open call modeling audition for Wilhemina swimsuits. In order to participate, she had to have a full body shot showing her photogenic qualities, personality and vitality. She asked if I was willing to take the photograph for her and I, of course, responded absolutely!
We met at Cantigny around 5:30pm yesterday and did approximately 45 minutes of shooting. There were 2 outfits, some skipping, a little bit of sassy walking and lots of laughter!
The open call is this Saturday! I have a great feeling that, at a minimum, Carmen will make it the next round. How could she not?!! Look at how beautiful she is and how comfortable she was in front of the camera! Wilhemina Swimsuits would be lucky to have her!
These last 3 images I edited with a little more creative edge. They won't be used for the contest, but I had fun playing with them nonetheless.
Good luck Carmen! Check one more thing off that bucket list! They are going to love you!
