Living The Parisian Dream Part II

 

I wanted to take a reprieve from story telling to actually share the images from the trip, which was the purpose of it all to begin with. Michelle and I did a 2 day shoot. Day one was at the Homme Museum, which was the popular spot for tourists and even locals to take pictures at. We started a little late on day one. We were still trying to recover from jetlag, which is why we had a hard time getting up early, which was the original plan. We thought we could get up at 5:30 am to try to reach sunrise at the Homme Museum. But it was just impossible. Our bodies just couldn't handle it, especially with only 5 to 6 hours sleep since we got there. Remember we were up for a good 36 hours the day before?

Anyway, there were a lot of people when we arrived. Hannah wore a grey and sliver fitted gown with feather trim for the sleeves. It was a shame we arrived late, the place was busy! I wasn't sure how I was going to edit all the people out, which is why this set took me the longest to edit. Not only that, but there were wood panels on one side that covered half of the Eiffel Tower. I guess our timing was a little off. But nevertheless, the images turned out great!

    

We were lucky that despite there being rain in the forecast for that day, we had a little bit of sun in the morning. Towards mid day, it started to become a little overcast and it eventually started drizzling. We were at the Louvre in the afternoon, and we started to feel raindrops touch our skin. Hannah wore a pretty blue satin dress, paired with a white coat and floral purse made by Cascade Queen Designs. She looked very dainty and beautiful, she was even approached a couple of times by local French men who started talking to us to help improve their English. Our Uber driver even wanted to ask her out on a date, but we were leaving in two days!

As our trip was coming to a close, we had one last assignment. We wanted to take a few sunrise and elegant evening looks by the tower. Michelle and I even had a few images taken of ourselves. Are you kidding? We weren't leaving Paris without pictures of us by the Eiffel Tower! Here's the first batch of our sunrise shoot! We all looked ooooh la la!
