Salt Lake City Downtown
3 months old. That’s how old we are. I’ve been trying to comprehend on when we started booking our dates, but the word seems to be spreading fast! Time seem to have flown as I look at the roster of our clients. It just doesn’t feel like 3 months. It was supposed to be just a Saturday thing for us. We are still working as consultants for Zions Bank during the weekdays and we try to keep our Sundays pretty lean so we could take a breather and just rest. For me specially, with Nick flying out 5 days in a week, I really need to just block out this day for us to spend time together. Saturdays are fine coz Nick loves to golf and that’s the only day in the week that he could do so. So I let him the same way he supports me with my photography. But we find ourselves booking even our Sundays and our weekdays. And we always say, it would only be for special cases that we’ll do so. And last Tuesday? We find ourselves walking once again in Salt Lake City for a shoot.
I take a deep breath of the cool breeze that permeates the city as we started putting together our gear. Elena, her daughter, Ana and her boyfriend, Rick is already waiting for us as we came in into the parking space. The weather was perfect. The sun was shining. The night will prove to be perfect for us to do this shoot.
Elena introduces us to Rick and Anna. Elena’s a Russian and I must say that I just LOVE her accent! She sounded a little bit like an English-speaking French. And I love the French language! There’s just something about the nasality and the breathiness in it that I find sooo sexy! We tried to pick up the language at the Westminster College but Nick gets sooo bored! Haha! I always tell him we gotta do this if we plan to stay in France for a short time! But no. Show him something in computers and he’d go gaga over it! Too funny! OK fine, I get sidetracked! I seem to be in the mood to blog!
So yeah, Elena introduces us to them and yes, they are beautiful people. They seem so at ease even before we started. Rick and Elena would tell us, tell me what to wear and what to do and we’ll do it. Such trust. It is just the perfect formula for amazing shots! And as we started steering them to a dilapidated area at the side of the street, where junky cars and rusty barns are, Elena seemed taken aback. She tells us, HERE??? Hahaha!!! We tell her yeah, here! I saw it! I saw her hesitate! But ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, she came through. Such trust. She started walking again.
Allright, let’s get started! “Elena, lean back against the truck” Yeah, the rusty eeky FORD truck where gazillions of oxygen seem to have made the rust as bright as the sun shining over us. “NO!!!! These are expensive coats!” HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I love it! Allright, give me the coat and show us some skin. And TA-DA! Check her out!
And maybe you guys could be the judge of whether Elena told me the truth about Rick. She tells me, he looks like George Clooney! But I must agree. He does look like him
Here’s a pic of Rick as Danny Ocean… 
I’m thinking to myself, I just can’t believe this location. Ritchie must have been born with some of those “DORA THE EXPLORER” genes. He just finds us the PERFECT locations!!!! And here’s just another gem to boot! And as it would turn out, it truly was a gem. The whole place was put together by another studio! We honestly didn’t know! But we’re totally grateful that they did let us finish our shoot. So thanks again!!
Elena looked so stunning in her dress and we thought the train tracks would be a perfect background.
Here’s our three lovely clients…
Watch out for Anna in our next entry! She must have gotten her mom’s panache for posing coz she totally flew! She is gorgeous!
