That. Is. Me. I had a whole range of thoughts and emotions during this photoshoot with my friend Rae. Now you guys know Rae as that super down to earth, friendly, but straightforward friend that everybody wants to have tea and patty melts with. She is also a really talented photographer who takes photos that make you feel things.\u00a0 I\u2019m no art critic, so that is the best way I can describe it.

Rae loves a candid photo. She documented pretty much every moment with this skirt.

When I tell you that what I had in my mind was there\u2026 on my body\u2026 and then again it wasn\u2019t. It was more. It was more than I ever figured.\u00a0 It was no longer a general idea floating around in my head.\u00a0 She had created much more than I could have imagined or envisioned.\u00a0 I was floored.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/socamom.com\/w\/three-things-i-learned-at-the-nicole-and-madeline-photoshoot-2\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Socamom\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/socamomdotcom\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2015-09-14T05:00:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-09-05T04:02:21+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/socamom.com\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/nicole_and_madeline_2.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Eva Wilson\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@socamomdc\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@socamomdc\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Eva Wilson\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"6 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/socamom.com\/w\/three-things-i-learned-at-the-nicole-and-madeline-photoshoot-2\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/socamom.com\/w\/three-things-i-learned-at-the-nicole-and-madeline-photoshoot-2\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Eva Wilson\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/socamom.com\/w\/#\/schema\/person\/ae448fb8a8731a8ff788972ac8b57980\"},\"headline\":\"Three Things I Learned at the Nicole and Madeline Photoshoot\",\"datePublished\":\"2015-09-14T05:00:00+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2023-09-05T04:02:21+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/socamom.com\/w\/three-things-i-learned-at-the-nicole-and-madeline-photoshoot-2\/\"},\"wordCount\":1238,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/socamom.com\/w\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/socamom.com\/w\/three-things-i-learned-at-the-nicole-and-madeline-photoshoot-2\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/socamom.com\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/nicole_and_madeline_2.jpg\",\"articleSection\":[\"Deals and Shopping\"],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/socamom.com\/w\/three-things-i-learned-at-the-nicole-and-madeline-photoshoot-2\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/socamom.com\/w\/three-things-i-learned-at-the-nicole-and-madeline-photoshoot-2\/\",\"name\":\"Three Things I Learned at the Nicole and Madeline Photoshoot -
