Some people look very dignified when they are working. Me, I don’t know. Photographers look cool as they know how to handle a camera. That’s me, taken at the Lancome Magnifique event by Benjamin Boccas. Mr. Boccas, a fine photographer, has taken a liking to bloggers, by making beautiful portraits of them. If you read Café Mode, you might be familiar with his work if you notice Geraldine’s lovely photo (although, it’s recently been updated with one by Garance Doré). He also blogs himself.
I never thought bloggers would make interesting subject matter… I mean, many of us take loads of pictures of ourselves… but as blogs become more and more established, it makes sense. Gosh, I remember last year, when SF Fashion Week said blogs didn’t count as press.
PS. I know it looks like I’m wearing nothing but a Casio Calculator Watch… but trust me, I’m wearing a strapless tiered mini-dress.

You look adorable!
Ditto what Wendy said!
I wish I had been available for this event, I’d like to meet you one day!
I know exactly what you mean about looking good when you take pictures (I know I don’t), and I’ve always been amazed by how Benjamin looks particularly graceful when he takes his pictures.
I agree with wendy as well! You handle your business very well!
i think it’s cool to be photographed in the midst of doing something you love. great candid.
xox
I think bloggers as a subject matter is a fascinating choice, especially because it’s about capturing the personality of a blogger visually, instead of through their words, which is how most of us “know” bloggers.
I really enjoyed looking through the gallery of blogger portraits — what great photos!
Aw, thanks… he captured a good shot…
Géraldine! I hope to meet one day too! I’m sure it won’t be long…
Jeanne… you’re right… blogs tend to be microuniverses… so getting an outside look is really interesting.
what a great shot!
Oh I love this image of you. You look so professional!
That’s still a great picture of you and I love the watch. I have one very similar.
What a fantastic portrait at work ! I seriously love it. Benjamin Boccas is a gorgeous photographer, in my opinion.
Beleza! I love seeing fotos that show the subject immersed in their work hehe.
Hi Jennine!
We’ve been following your blog since before you changed websites. We have always been a fan and you kinda inspired us to start a blog of our own!
If you get a chance stop by!

Jennine, you look INCREDIBLE! Look at your creamy skin! I’m so proud just to cyber-know you.
this picture is pretty rad.

I’ve been fighting the ‘blog fight’ for the last 8 months…bravo you look amazing!
What a wonderful shot!
ooh calcultaor watches rule!
winona… it’s only creamy due to following kezia’s advice on skincare… olive oil has become my friend.
I came here via modepass, and you must have changed websites, because i recall your face. But whenever I stumble upon something wonderful I manage to lose the link!
Its wonderful to see someone so absorbed in their craft.
It’s so beautiful to see you in your element like that! It seems like just what Boccas must have been going for.
i love this shot too! and that is my favourite watch. i’ve gone through 3!
I came across your gorgeous and quirky blog! I have to say… you look truly adorable and professional xx
Those of us who were blessed with a chance to get to know you find it as no surprise at all — you only look so adorable and of these other great adjetives not just on this picture but on your being because you are indeed that: the essence of all of those adjetives. One might call you anointed…. you reek it. Keep inspiring us, sister. or keep being yourself… either way, keep posting…..Way to go!
oh leo, i miss you so much.
There’s something about this pic that just makes me smile. What a fantastic capture.
the cutest photo!!
