So my dress didn’t end up all that trashed. And it wasn’t really MY dress, but a $25 dress I bought the week before the shoot. But I’m still going to call it my Trash the Dress session anyway!

I met the photographer, James, on Saturday afternoon around four. We decided to take the pictures at the Sutro Baths, which is a really awesome historical site right on the water. San Francisco beaches are notorious for being incredibly cold and windy, but that Saturday was worse than usual, I’m not going to lie. I was freezing my butt off! I had visions (and I think James did too) of pictures of me walking on the walls overlooking the ocean–unfortunately I was getting blown all over the place and I didn’t want to get blown into the incredibly turbulent ocean! We still ended up with some cool shots, though:

Note how I look like I have a weird, uncomfortable smile in this picture:

It’s because I felt weird and uncomfortable! There were a couple of tourists checking out the view from the cave behind James, and suddenly I looked up and realized one of them was taking my picture!

Me: “Why are you taking my picture?”

Him: “Because you don’t see this every day!”

Me (thinking): “That’s really weird and uncomfortable.”

After awhile at the Sutro Baths, we decided to move on. The cold was just too much to take…so we went into Golden Gate Park and got some more pictures done there. Here are a few:

Getting on this log was harder than it looks:

Rolling over on this log was even harder!

Whoa! I’m smiling! One of the few!

James described the photos as “moody,” which I think is a really good description. Considering I am generally very wacky, it was kind of cool to do something different! And of course, James was really great. Thanks for this opportunity, James!
