Yesterday I Shot Some Pirates...it seemed like the Thing to Do.

They were fierce,

they were free,

terribly kind.

During the middle of the week I put out a call for volunteer models for part of my RED project for Saturday and a few nice people actually responded.

So we shot them right there in the studio (though I'm definitely having post-shoot regrets that we didn't brave the cold and the rain to shoot outside.) "Come on pirates, suck it up," is what I should have told these gentle souls giving me their precious weekend time. "Piracy is no place for the weak!"

One of my favorite moments was when I handed Zach (intern) a photo of Johnny Depp from "Pirates" and a case of make-up and pointed to our guy volunteer. "Make him look just like Johnny. Just like him."

Zach didn't even blink, just nodded solemnly. "Ok."

I'm going to miss that kid when he leaves us in a few weeks.

I'm titling our photo sess "A Pirate Family Portrait."

{This is an instagram sneak-peak of what is to come.}

I'm hoping to post the first half of RED this week....fingers crossed.

Until then-xoxo.
