What an incredibly fulfilling experience! Why the heck did I wait so long to do this?
Those are my first two take-aways after having the funnest photo shoot with Grinkie Girls. I'd been drooling over Christi's works for years and knowing I would be having Lela do my hair and make-up was like a dream. I was admittedly a little bit nervous heading over that morning but I'd seen their works through social media so I knew it would all turn out okay. (The word Okay being a total understatement here BTW. More like fan-friggin'-tastic!) They are such a great team!
Walking in the door I could immediately feel the nerves fall away. Their environment is so welcoming and comfortable. No need for inhibitions with these two ladies. It's like heading over to your gal pal's house and chilling for a few hours while you get to play dress up and chat the day away.
And then, when it's all over...You get pictures! Jaw-dropping, holy-moly, works-of-art pictures!
As I am working on growing my own personal business (#GinnyBites) I knew I needed new photos that really felt like ME. Photos I could be proud of and that would work for a multitude of purposes. Christi and Lela helped me capture that so well. I am currently a home baker (MDA Registered Cottage Foods Producer in MN) and hope to grow my business within the coming years to a food truck or small restaurant premises. Food is my favorite! I had my own personal chef business for a few years, currently run a food related non-profit I founded with my besties called Food With Love, Inc. and dabble in food sport when I can. As a mom of five too...well, I'm pretty much cooking all the time.
In addition to cooking all the things I also love creating art, singing in my rock cover band (when the world isn't broken), hosting or producing events and just creating goodness in general. "Love, Create, Laugh, Eat, Drink, Give" I needed pictures that truly showed my personality and Grinkie Girls delivered on that wish. And I have also discovered one more take-away from all of this...Pin-Up photo shoots are like a great tattoo...I'm already fiending for the next one!
