It has been two years since I took my BOYS to PARIS and we met up with CARLA COULSON for a PHOTO SHOOT!

I recently came across these photos in my computer and thought maybe you ALL would be interested in seeing the photos my SONS took of CARLA and me………BEHIND THE SCENES.

If you haven’t been FOLLOWING for awhile this is the scoop!

I had a shop.

Called HEN HOUSE.

I closed it.

With the leftover money I took the SONS to PARIS.

Why?

Because they had never been to PARIS.

I called it my last HORRAH.(With them!)

Who better to show them PARIS then their MOTHER…………….

SO,here we are OUTSIDE our apartment in the 14th  and inside the LOUVRE museum.In PARIS of COURSE!

THE PHOTOGRAPHER who hails from AUSTRALIA but landed in Florence and via the HUSBAND now lives in PARIS!

The Bakery across from our DELIGHTFUL APARTMENT!

On RUE CHATEAU,don’t you LOVE THAT ADDRESS!

WE were being SUMMONED by one of my Two SONS!

Holding onto the BAGUETTES as they had a mind of their own!

The TEAM that made me look SO GOOD!

She could have been hit by a car or a bus…………..

UP close………………….those baguettes wanted to bend every which way!I had a TIGHT grip on them………..

Adjustments…………….for a better PHOTO.

By the ONE and ONLY Veronique.

I’m in sync with the crosswalk sign!

Nicholas, checking on the action below!The view from OUR rented APARTMENT.If you want info on that I would be HAPPY to put you in contact with that BLOGGER!

That’s a WRAP FOLKS………done with this location!

A BEAUTIFUL TEAM on a BEAUTIFUL FALL DAY………….

Carla has a blog HERE.She also, has a few books published which if YOU are an ITALIAN FAN I suggest you google and BUY PRONTO!Mostly photos but with words by another Australian LISA CLIFFORD who happens to reside in Florence ……..my old stomping grounds!

The hair was STYLED on a PARK bench in the JARDIN DES TUILERIES…….in about 5 minutes!

It was a bit chilly as I recall.

We did not know how much time we would have here as the SECURITY people in the LOUVRE could arrive at any minute.

A SLIGHT hair adjustment……………….so WONDERFUL to travel with a HAIR and MAKE UP MADAME!!!

She really is a wonderful photographer…….and SUCH a NICE PERSON!

Look at these STATUES they are MAGNIFICENT and to think I have these photos with them………still makes my skin have goose bumps!

Carla, had the brilliant idea of having the BOYS SNAP photos of me as she snapped ALL of US!

Love this………..

Then there are the REAL PHOTOS by the REAL PHOTOGRAPHER………to see those go HERE.

They are also at the TOP of my site under LA CONTESSA.

I have to say this was one of the BEST THINGS I HAVE EVER DONE with MY BOYS.

Make memories FOLLOWERS.

Memories are important.

Especially to ME.
