Spring Photo Shoot

The Spring Photo Shoot is complete and I think we can call it a success!  The weather was absolutely beautiful and everyone was in a great mood and we even managed to get some good shots!

This photo shoots purpose was to get an author photo for the upcoming release of my second Christian-fiction novel, Waiting for the Sun that comes out on May 20th.  But it should also give me some good publicity photos for any number of other things coming up.  The pictures with the quotes on them seem to do really well and get shared quite often, so I get a lot of feedback from them.  With the back drop of some of these photos, (they were taken at the Missouri Botanical Gardens!  80 acres of beautifulness!!) they are perfect for some quotes I've got laying around!! Lol  And lastly, the website needed a little cleaning up so some of the pictures will be featured there as well.  A little bit of me splashed all over the place! 

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank my make-up artist, Mary Spezia.  She is my go-to girl when it comes to my face and hair.  She takes really good care of me and always knows the "look" I am going for.  She is patient and funny and is always ready for a touch-up.  She is not afraid to hold up the process if she doesn't think I look "just right"!  And I love her for that!!

Also, thank you to Iramil Kneemiller for assisting my awesome photographer and for making sure the was set up right, my arm was in the right spot and the wrinkles were pulled out before any film was wasted!

And my photographer, Shaun Kneemiller.  I love working with this man!  He is so very talented and has such a brilliant eye.  While his wife and my make-up artist were making me fabulous, he was patient and would fill his time taking pictures of other things around us.  (Which turned out amazing as well!!)  He is destined for great things in the photography world and I am honored to be able to say that I found him first!!  We work together so well and I only have to describe an idea and he is off and running with it.  I am so happy that he takes the time out of his busy schedule for me.

So, back to this whole author photo thing... I am asking for help in choosing the actual photo that will be used on the back cover of the book.  So, if you are so inclined to add your opinion, I would be most grateful.  You'll be able to see the photos revealed one at a time on Facebook (Elizabeth Bourgeret- Author or EBourgeret), twitter (EBourgeret), google+ (+ElizabethBourgeret) or instagram (EBourgeret) all next week.  If you could let me know what you think by leaving a comment or sharing or liking, I can narrow down the choices.  I love having your opinions!  

So, follow me on the social media outlets and let me know what you think of Shaun's handiwork!!  I am so grateful to have people around me that love me and encourage me!  Thank you to everyone that helps Elizabeth Bourgeret be all that I am supposed to be!!
