"The Talent"

A few weeks ago I was asked if me and my daughter would be interested in doing a photo shoot. I was approached by The Pointe at South Mountain Resort here in Phoenix and they asked if we would be interested in shooting a print advertising campaign that will be running all over the country and here locally as well. Sounded like fun to me and my daughter thought is would be really cool. Boy was it!

You'd have thought we were real divas the way they treated us. I figured they would take a couple pictures and be done with it. It was a much bigger production than that. There was a crew of about 4 or 5 photographers and assistants with all their assorted equipment, lights and whatever all those other things are they use to get good light. It took them about 30 minutes just to set up the first scene, meanwhile, someone kept checking in on us asking if they could get us anything and constantly apologizing for the long set up time. We were pampered, to say the least.

We wore robes and slippers from the spa and they took about 50-60 pictures over a two hour period with various scenes. By the time we were done, my daughter said her face was hurting from smiling so much. They even made us act out stuff so the scenes would look real. She thought that was pretty silly but had a lot of fun doing it. I have to say that my face was getting tired too!

I only saw one of the pictures and am curious to see how the others turned out and which ones they'll use for which publications. I'll be sure and post some when I get them.
