Who would’ve ever imagined that a volcano, yes, a dreaded volcano would come between me and a visit to one of my favorite cities? Well, it’s true.  In what seems like a story out of 2012-esque movie, this crazy Icelandic volcano has affected even yours truly. After getting over my initial denial, I finally bit the bullet and cancelled my ticket to Paris today. I was headed to the mecca of romance to shoot with my favorite photographers in the entire world, the Boudoir Divas, who thankfully already made it to France. So, I’ve decided that in lieu of being grumpy and sad, I’ll throw on my Parisian mustache and enjoy the insanity of what will someday be an incredibly funny story. Plus, in the grand scheme of things, I have a ton to be thankful for.

Let’s face it though, for today at least, this volcano shenanigan is a total pain in my ash…Here’s a fun picture from my visit last year to the city of lights and love.
