Paris thoughts, day 1

(taken on my flight to Paris)

today is my first day here. I'm tired but I'm happy.

I'm sitting outside at a cafe using their wifi, and everyone around me is speaking french. I understand enough to catch snippets and understand signs, not to mention that everyone seems to speak english.

I have to admit, I feel the buzz. I feel the Paris appeal. I wonder if one of the reasons why Americans love it here is the fact that you aren't bombarded with communication of all sorts (whether it be ads, or just overhearing people around you), and instead are surrounded by the smooth sounds of French. it's a break for us, a mental rest.

I'm going to try to post every day or so! :)

model: tara burns

just a note: the reason I haven't been blogging is because I'm horrible at narrowing down my shoots to ~10 photos... instead I usually have 20-30. but I figure overly long posts are better than none at all? so when I have time later this week, I'll upload the posts of older shoots I've been dying to show on here!

by the way you can find these on flickr, too: http://www.flickr.com/photos/emilytebbettsphotography/ :)

these photos were taken on a shoot for INK magazine. I'm only posting the ones that I like that will not be in the magazine-- to see the rest, you'll have to check the mag out when the issue that I'm in comes out! :)

side note: these look a bit washed out/less contrasty on here. oh well :(

I'm horrible at choosing so I'm splitting this shoot up into three more sections:
- wild child: bw
- wild child: color
- flora

I hope you like them! let me know your faves, I'm gonna need help deciding which to put up on flickr and such! :)

model is the fabulous mia, who did the hair and makeup too!
