“It’s a wrap”, our youngest model, a jet ski tour guide, said at the end of the day. “I’ve always wanted to say that!” he beamed. It was a great success of a photo shoot—something all new to me. Going into this, it seemed like a big, new world. Our book producer Kevin Sharp, had done it all before, and he imagined the whole thing; a cool formal garden in Charleston with a couple of young scruffy gardeners taking a break. It meant hiring young models and a professional photographer, scouting locations, and perfect weather and light.
Maybe! I would start w Jay Matheson at the Jam Room. That might be over kill but he could advise. These days - if u have a good iPhone or something that can create quality audio files - you may could record it that way. I would think u would want someone to assist with directing or giving feedback on annunciation, inflection and tone.

I'm absolutely loving following this process, and how you're giving us a peek into it. What fun! I bet you'll get a great cover photo out of this shoot. (P.S. I knew you were cool way back when you mentioned that you knew what a longyi was during Janisse's writing class.)
Handsome models but you know what picture I think should be the cover! Can hardly wait for this book to come out. It is going to be fabulous!!
How fun! I enjoy hearing about these behind the scene processes. I'm glad your photoshoot went well!
Some of us old lady gardeners are crazy gardeners too
It is a small world!!! Love the connections you found/made at the shoot and the ones you made with some old garden ladies several years ago.
I made some with an old garden lady on this trip too! We met on FB and I stayed at her house to save motel $$ and to have more fun.
You’ve got the best smile Jenks. I just love reading your words!!!
Glad the shoot went well! This book is going to be fantastic!
Awe - I love seeing and reading this. Can't wait to see which one you pick! Looks like a great team.
Thanks Lee Ann -- know anyone who can help me do an audio book?
