Hello, friends!
Thank you so much for the positive support by joining my Facebook page. I have over a 100 “fans” now, and I have been too shocked to express my gratitude. I love you all like a fat kid loves cake.

My favorite TV commercial from last season was the Kindle spot, the result of a contest held by Amazon. A beautiful blonde actress named Annie Little graces the television screen, and she sings the ever-so-catchy “Fly Me Away.” The commercial captivates the audience’s attention with the costume changes and adorable photograph flip-book quality.

My trip to San Diego got canceled this weekend, so I decided to shoot a self-portrait today. I forgot how much time and patience goes into creating a photo, but I certainly wanted to make use of my free time. I started my project at 3:00 p.m. and did not finish until 8:00 p.m.—a lengthy [...]
Also tagged makeup, tutorialWhen I don’t have models to photograph, sometimes I practice my lighting at home. If Jon is in town, I ask him to collaborate with me on testing ideas.
