Two Magazine Photoshoots At The House
It is a crazy-but-we-would not-have-it-any-other-way day here at Casa Petersik. We in fact have a photography crew from BHG here (!) to shoot our newly transformed nursery and our lately renovated bathroom for two distinct publications: Kitchen + Bath Makeovers and Do It Yourself magazine. Lively, right? We are all geeked out about it.
We are especially excited to watch the stylists work their propping magic (how do they make bottles of soap look so good?) and we in fact know the photographer Erik Johnson since he shot the rest of our house a while back for a three-issue article in Do It Yourself (see them here, here, and here). In fact here we are with Erik and the crew from that shoot of yore. Note to self: so THAT IS what my thighs look like- I have not seen them in months. Although they might not quite look like that anymore…
And speaking of the baby bump, my mantra of the day is “do not go into labor yet, do not go into labor yet.” Of course with over two weeks til my due date there is no reason that I would (in fact we are betting I will be late), but you know how you have some deadline in your brain that you simply have to get past because of something essential that you committed to? Well, this is it.
Plus I do not want to miss a moment of photo shoot magic. Look, in magazine world even dogs need to sign releases:
And fresh flowers are par for the course- even when the rooms to be captured are a bathroom and a nursery:
It is consistently lively to see how they tweak our rooms to give them a bit of glossy I am-ready-for-my-close-up attitude. In fact, check out this old post full of behind the scenes tricks from our last Do It Yourself shoot and this writeup full of dirty details from our big photo shoot with The Nest magazine last year. And we promise to share some more backstage secrets about this adventure when we can. Until then the name of the game is keeping my belly out of the shot. And when you have a 43″ circumference that is in fact quite a feat…
But sufficient about the goings on here. What is up in your neck of the woods? Anyone have any lively Friday plans or big weekend projects on the agenda?
