Happy almost Halloween! I hope you're as jazzed about the festivities tomorrow as I am!
This past weekend I hosted the fall shoot for
Fiterazzi Magazine with a few of my fit-minded friends. the idea behind this shoot, in comparison to the summer shoot was to capture some fall foliage/scenes and showcase some new fitness moves in the cooler autumnal weather -- andd talk about autumnal weather, we scored the JACKPOT on Sunday. 60 degrees. Sunny. What's not to like?
My four lovely models and dear friends -- Alisha, Sarah, Autumn and Sara -- donated their smiling faces and strutted their stuff on camera for me about two hours total.
It's funny, before the shoot, I don't think any of the girls new each other, but they all knew me, and by the end of the session, they were all laughing, smiling and getting along splendidly.
I met each of these ladies in a very different way and each at a different time in my life.
Autumn, the lovely African-American sporting the charcoal sweater, met me when I was 18 when we were both starting out playing on the
GW softball team together
Alisha, who's gorgeous dark complexion makes her pink jacket just POP, I
met earlier this year while playing dodge ball at a local social sports
league, USS, here in the city.
Sara, the fierce gal rocking the short
hair cut, has been my creative competitor and close friend for years,
since we studied journalism and video production together at
SMPA.
And
the other
Sarah, who's wearing my favorite pair of
BODYPOP watercolor print leggings, was one of the first real-world friends I
made when I was working with her at
Post TV -- the video outlet of the
Washington Post.
Each of these women has been a friend to me in her own special way -- which is why I was so glad they all got to meet each other and help represent Fiterazzi with me, looking fit and fabulous in on the streets of D.C. on that spectacular fall day.
