The Behind-the-Scenes Shot

 

Every once in a while, I schedule a photo shoot to update my head shots used in different places (catalogs, magazines, web sites, etc.) at Stampin’ Up! You’ll even notice one on this blog!

I smiled when I saw this photo from today’s shoot. It’s a family affair, and everyone pitches in. My son-in-law Jon, my personal photographer, was taking the pictures, and Shalae was helping out—even at nine months pregnant, she’s a team player. It was almost high noon, and after make-up and outfit changes, we’d been at it for almost three hours. She did an incredible job of standing on the wagon wheel, balancing the scrim and her ready-to-burst tummy, and ignoring the hot summer sun.

I thought you’d find this shot as heartwarming as I did. And you’ll also be ready to celebrate when I share the news of baby Phoebe’s birth, which should be any day—and not nearly soon enough for Shalae!

So when you see this head shot of me show up somewhere in a magazine or online, you can smile because you know what was going on behind the scenes!

It's great viewing these posts about your life and family. It was a pleasure to meet Shalae at convention while 'mom' was talking to attendees. Shelli---I got Shalae's autograph in my catalog and it resembles yours! Can't wait until Phoebe arrives. And, I love the wagon in the picture. I never thought about the photograph shoots. Thanks for sharing!

Hey Shelli, Not sure if you remember me, Becky Lamb, but I found your blog via a blog via another blog and thought I'd say hi.

This last post of yours makes me laugh because I know that you have quite a few photo shoots to keep up with the ever changing hairstyle LOL! You look great as does your growing family.

If you want to check out my blog, you can see what I am doing these days. My tools are a little bit bigger than stamps and pads now, but Stampin' UP! was definitely an important step along the way in honing my creativity and learning about color, layout and design.

Take care!
Becky

Cute photo. I have a 7 month old and remember how the last month is soooo long. I hope and pray all is well in Phoebe's arrival. Great name!

Love the colors you are wearing Shelli. I just made a card last night using Kiwi Kiss and Basic Gray. Love the yellowy green and gray combos that are so hot right now. Maybe a Goldenrod color is somewhere in our future??????

I am loving your blog and am so happy that you did it. It is fun to see this side of you- just one of the girls. Thanks for letting us in.

Hi Shelli,

Congratulations on the arrival of your little Phoebe. And thanks for sharing your "down under" pictures. I sent the one of you holding
the koala to my daughter who has collected koalas for years and would give anything to be able to hold one. Can't wait to see more pics of your trip and of Phoebe.

Your daughter is amazing! She also looks thrilled to be standing on a wagon wheel at 9 months pregnant! Yikes! It is always great to hear the behind the scenes details, to cute of a picture!

Hi Shelli,

I love your blog. I met Shalae at convention. She is such a sweetie. Actually all of your daughters I met were.

I look at this picture of Shalae and think if it was me I'd do anything to get the baby out!
