Photos from the Photo Shoot

Photobucket

Thanks to Stephanie Warner of All About You Photography & Design, she provided the images from our photo shoot for the TeaTime Magazine feature. There were so many to choose from, it was so hard to decide!

So here are my favorites, located in my photo gallery. I also included "behind the scenes" photos of us setting up the shoot. Talk about having a hard time trying to get cute for the head shot, after sweating it up from the set up! I could have seriously used a hair & makeup stylist. But when you are on a budget, cute gets crossed off real quick.

Thank you to so many of you who have left congratulatory comments or emails regarding the feature! I've heard that you can find TeaTime Magazine at Borders or Barnes & Noble, possibly WalMart but it is all hit or miss depending on their distribution and supply. So the best way is to call Hoffman Media at (888) 411-8995 and then press 1 to go to Customer Service to purchase a copy of the March/April 2008 issue. Do it soon, because once it becomes a "back issue" the price increases!


Okay.


Sigh.


*tapping fingers*


..........just waiting for Oprah's peeps to call.........

Or Martha.

Risa! Fantastic! Incredible! Inspirational! Uniquely beautiful! Thank you for sharing the pictures. You needed more pages

How did you come up with the color combination? I would have never thought about putting those colors together. They were just beautiful.

Did you have the whole thing pictured in your mind before you started setting up? Did you do a mock-up before hand?

Loved the banner. The china is just beautiful. The food, the pictures, the location...really, it was all just amazing.

Has Oprah called yet?

Hi Risa, You look great! And I just love drooling over all your creations. You're blog actually inspired me to turn my love of tea parties and vintage into a business. I'm up here in Nor-Cal, but I lived in San Clemente for years(love the Posh Peasant!)Anyhoo, funny story- my good friend and formenr roommate was recently at tea with her friend and told her about me and how I was having a hard time getting things started, and her friend says shes knows this tea party lady and maybe she can get me her #,& lo and behold the # I get was yours! I have to say I was a little starstruck:) and shocked at the coincedence. Seems to me that the universe is talking... to me anyways! I think Oprah would agree, don't you???

I loved your article in TeaTime, then was so happy to stumble upon your blog. I'm saving it to my favorites so I can drop in often for some inspiration! Your oceanside tea was so beautiful. When reading the article, my 4-year-old daughter and I noticed that the china looks like a Homer Laughlin pattern I collect. Congratulations on the magazine feature!
