This has been a rough last few months. Raul has been at school most nights every week trying to get closer to finishing his Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design. One of the classes that he had to take this semester was a photography class. He convinced me to be his model for his final project (it took a LOT of bribery hehe). Anyways, in the midst of all the Holiday Home tour chaos he was busy planning a Steampunk themed photoshoot. If you don’t know what Steampunk the best way that I can explain it is that it is an artistic form that combines science fiction, machinery, and either Victorian stylings or the American Wild West. What this means is lots of guns, gears, and really tight corsets (oy!). What this also means is that our house was basically the perfect setting for his shoot. He scoured the secondhand stores for some additional props and clothes to make my outfit and we were set to go. The shoot was a grueling 5 hours (!!!!) but the end product was worth it. Check out this link to his photography Facebook page to see all the photos!
