First Day of Shooting in France…

I meant to post this photo in the last blog…I took it as we were descending into Paris. We obviously were still quite a distance from the city but it’s definitely France. I’ve always loved how Europe looks from the sky. So different from the US.

Once again I’m sitting outside, yet this time it’s almost dark. The sun went down a while ago as we were eating dinner under the same tree that I wrote from yesterday. I had a great day today. Thankfully my sleep training back home paid off and I didn’t have any jetlag this trip. For those of you unaware, I was waking up at 4am for the few days before leaving for France so that the time change wouldn’t be so hard on me. It’s one thing to have jetlag while traveling…it’s a completely different ballgame to get it when you have to not only be awake, but be on camera looking refreshed as well. Last night I went to bed around 1am and woke up just fine at 8:30am.
Aria shot first. She had her makeup done and then shot a solo set while I got my makeup done. Then we had lunch before I shot my solo. I shot my solo set in a small koi pond in a bright blue and black bikini and daisy duke jean shorts. Then Aria and I shot a set together. You’ll be happy to know that we shot an oil massage photoset and video outside! Pretty hot stuff! Especially the video!
Here’s before we shot together…

And here’s what Aria looks like after I was done with her!

So after we shot she took a shower and then I took one…but I barely got done in time for dinner. Denys has a cook at the house so every meal is absolutely amazing! And at every meal we drink wine…Rose to be exact! I’m actually still finishing off my glass as I sit out here along in the dark. It’s so peaceful here. The house was built in the 1400’s…he has completely renovated it, but the house has so much character. And the trees outside are HUGE! You can tell that they’re a couple hundred years old, if not more. It’s funny…most of the time when I travel I want to get out and about and see the area. But I’m perfectly content here. Even though I’m working, it’s almost like a vacation. I’ve been super busy for a long time and I really needed this. So strange to say that because I wasn’t expecting it to be like this…especially since I work a lot during the day. But it’s the truth…I wish all jobs I took were like this!
So to end this post…here’s a photo of Aria and I being silly…it’s what we do best!

Until tomorrow…
