FEATURE FRIDAY:The Making Of A Music Video

Last year, about this time I was driving up to Lubbock, TX to meet up with my lady friend, Amanda Shires, to make a west TX music video with Cotton Films, Half Bison, half the town of LBK (or so it seemed). I always like to take things apart and see how the work and what goes on behind the scenes, so I wanted to share the video and few snap shots with you.

The set included a green screen, sweaty men, ice, equipment, sun block and every method of transportation. Yes, even the Lubbock fire department came out.

I took photos, met a bunch of talented folks, and powdered a nose or two.

I learned a lot of neat tricks, like how to be a bump in the road. That man under the side car shook every vehicle better than any bump in the history of bumps. Seriously, I never thought about detail like that when making a video.

These ladies were a trip! Perfectly in character the whole time.

Back to the future? Out of all the cars, this is the one I wanted to drive off in. It was so rad!

This hat started as a joke and ended up saving me by the end of the day. The sun/heat was brutal that day. Thank God for boots, thank God for hats.

Tonight, my dear friend Amanda reaches another milestone. If you live in or near Nashville, TN, you should attend her Grand Ole Opry debute. Had I known a few months out, I would have flown out there, so if you are within driving distance, get your booty to the show!

Behind The Scenes: Where we stayed.

This is where my body rested.













This is where we painted a million black feathers in gold.



This is the kitchen that James made cinnamon rolls that broke me of Paleo.

This is where I wished I slept everyday of my life.





This is where I wish I lived. #HOPESANDDREAMS


 I hate when people over use this word I am about to say but this place is "Magical". Last year we packed our bags for the week and headed to this secret little Texas spot for James and Aubrey's Wedding. An unforgettable week of enjoying the outdoors, indulging amazing food (this is when I failed the paleo way), painting feathers, hanging out with some of the coolest people, and getting everything perfect for the two love birds, you know just your typical bridesmaid duties:).

This is the main house, where we bunked. I will be posting more of the behind the scenes all week. CLICK HERE and CLICK HERE to see The Official Wedding Photos by The super talented Brooke Schwab.

Ginny Lee working her magic!

It was pouring down rain but we made the decision to just go with it.

Kelly adding some gold glitter. She is so good at the details!

Saving Boots from the rain!

Kelly dropped all my Gold! I was so sad.

It was so much fun doing different looks with Jaclyns hair.





Thank God for bobbypins!



Becky the owner of the horse was a big help and we will def be going back for riding lessons!

Can you tell how many Fishtails are in?

Omg Lacy (The horse) was a little nervous and fidgety and Jaclyn was a pro! We totally thought she would fall off but no! She worked that horse like nobodies business! Hahaha we were cracking up most of the shoot. We just couldn't believe how she was staying on even if her hands were up in a pose and the horse moving all around.

Thanks Lonnie Webb for leaving us your flag:) and Happy Birthday! We Love You!
