Photo shoot

I feel pretty, oh so pretty...

Just got some shots from my photo shoot with Mark Riddle, and they look AWESOME! 

Sassy waitress

 

If only I could do a photo shoot like this every week... Thanks to everyone involved who helped make me look so great in these photos! It was like...an army. 

Gossiping about others in the restaurant?

A Photo Shoot a Year in the Making

I met producer Mark Riddle almost two years ago, on a super fun 1970s commercial shoot for Medica. Since then, we have also worked together on the big radio/tv campaign I did for HealthPartners. In addition to being a freelance broadcast producer, he is also a photographer, so when he asked me if I'd be interested in working with him on an editorial shoot for his portfolio, of course I agreed.  

We started talking about this about a year ago, but both being busy people our schedules didn't mesh until everything finally came together last week. I saw the raw images yesterday and got to help narrow down the final images, and I am so excited! They look absolutely amazing!
