Special guests...

I was honored the Monday after the sale to have Fifi and Mark here to shoot my house for various publications.


   It was the coolest experience and I can't wait to see how the pictures came out. They are two of the sweetest people and they made it so easy. Mark's photography is amazing. Every picture is gorgeous and he is the nicest guy ever.
 When I started blogging, I always wanted to have chances like this, but I never really believed it would happen. Monday was a dream for me.
It was such a fun, long day. I had made some raspberry mini-muffins that we could snack on and we chatted and drank coffee as we moved through the house. Fifi's eye is amazing. The same things I've looked at a hundred times; she arranged in an entirely new and fresh way.
The only thing I will tell you about having your house shot... they go in every room. There is no hiding your dirty, little secrets. So, if you have  a hoarder's room like I do, where you shove everything you want out of the way when people come over to shoot your house, it's only going to be a little embarrassing when they open the door and the room looks like you should be on an A and E special and in therapy.

 I can't show you exactly what she and Mark took; but I can give you sneak peeks from the day. Except for the hoarder's room, the rest of my house was clean... ( the garage doesn't count. ;)  ) 













Thanks Mark and Fifi for a great day!

Jen

  15. Jen, your talents
    just inspire me so
    much....I'm truly
    thrilled for you and
    hope you'll share
    what publications you
    end up in! I got to
    meet Fifi and she was
    so sweet. It was great
    connecting at Na-da and
    a special shout-out for
    your kind touch : ) in
    the blogger's tent. It
    was comforting to have
    someone with your background
    there. {'Nuff said!}
    Hugs from MN,
    xx Suzanne
