The first thing Magda told me when I met her was, “I’m really sorry, I’m not photogenic.”
Um.. have you looked in the mirror lately? Because you’re gorgeous.
So photographing Magda was no problem. The problem we did have was trying to avoid being blown away by the Oklahoma wind. (Cue the Carrie Underwood song..) I know it’s normally always windy, but this was crazy. At one point I was chasing after my step stool and my assistant was holding onto the reflector for dear life. Despite the wind and the cold, we still managed to have a great shoot. After spending the afternoon in tornado-like weather, we stopped by Sara Sara Cupcakes to recharge. It’s amaaazing what a cupcake can do!
