Before moving east, I had the pleasure of meeting Brandy Anderson, owner of Fresh Sugar Photography in Calgary.  She is such a sweet person and very generous with her knowledge.  She also introduced me to Danna Bowes of Bowes Photography (also in Calgary and equally sweet).  Well, this dynamic duo have really outdone themselves this time.  They’ve created another company called Two Photogs.  They are educating photographers on various topics pertinent to the business and they are also going to provide online mentorship in January.  As an introductory offer, they put together a little photo challenge called guilty pleasures…the winner gets a seat in their mentorship program…um, yes please!

So, after much soul searching (boy do I have a lot of guilty pleasures 😉 ), I chose:

bubble bath + candles + purdy toes = my guilty pleasures…

Let me tell you, self portraits are no easy task.  But hey, I’m always up for a challenge, why not include electronics, water, lit candles & the potential to expose a little more of oneself than anyone needed to see!!  I had a few humorous outtakes, a couple of almost falls on the wet bathroom floor & by the time I got to the toe shots, they were prunes!  BUT, my camera gear was unscathed, so that’s the main thing! 

So without further ado, my guilty pleasures:

Good luck to all who took the challenge…there are some amazing submissions!!  And ladies, keep up the good work!  Wish we still lived closer 🙁
