My California trip to meet Pascale Wowak!

So, I'm FINALLY getting around to posting some images I took during my trip to California to meet the fabulous photographer (and my twin), Pascale Wowak. Surely...you have seen the many, many images she has taken for ZozoBugBaby, all with her adorable daugher, Ellie. The child IS ZozoBugBaby...no doubt.
Well...I went to CA to learn a bit of photography and Photoshop. In turn, I taught Pascale a bit of sewing. I assure you..I got the better end of the deal! I still owe her hours of sewing tutorials that she'll take me up on in August, when she comes to Portland!

Anyway, I brought some gifts for her stunning kids (Gavin...the to-die-for child modeling my red star applique shirt), so I had to take some pics. Now...I edited these tonight...all by myself! I am a TAD addicted to the "burn" tool. I studied photography in college and learned to do all of this in a darkroom, so doing in on a computer is new to me...and WAY easier!

Pascale taught me a TON, and although I got a bit happy with that "burn" tool...hopefully the rest of what she taught me stuck! hahah!!! Ellie is wearing a patchwork skirt I made for her, along with an amazing leotard custom made for her by none other than Courtney Chu of courtneycourtney. A great combo, if you ask me!

Ok..I'll quit rambling..here are some photos. I had the BEST time on that trip. I'm coming back, Pascale! I am!

Thanks, Pascale!
