Susan

My colleague, Susan, was interviewed by the APA (American Photographic Artists) and she needed a new photo of herself to go along with the article.  So she and I went up to the 8th floor of the Discovery offices and spent about 10 minutes getting some quick images.  Susan looks lovely and wow do I love that light on the 8th floor.  It's like a giant softbox!

Getting Well with Michelle

Referrals are great.  No, actually, they are superb!  You all remember Katie, right?  Well, Katie's referral of Michelle led us to a great photo shoot in Old Town Alexandria yesterday morning.  You cannot go wrong in Old Town.  In fact, a lovely gentleman even let us shoot in his backyard garden.  It was one of those historic homes that when you stroll by you wonder, "Who lives in there?  Wow, it's gorgeous! Oh yeah, if I were to live in Old Town, this is would be the one."

Anyway, let's get back to Michelle.  See, Michelle owns FindYourBalanceHealth.com where she has a no-nonsense approach to helping those over-stressed and over-worked humans find balance with diet and lifestyle.  She was also featured in the documentary movie Lemonade, which I saw last year and found very inspirational.  Creatives finding new work by being creative.  Love it and it really hit home for me.

Michelle is serious about her work, but you'd never know it.  This gal is FUN!  Great sense of humor, playful, yet grounded and smart about her business. Let's check it out!

Betty - The New It Girl (well, in South Korea at least)

Betty and I work together on the AnimalPlanet.com website.  She is a web producer and I am her photo editor, as many of you well know by now.  Betty was asked to be featured in an article in a Korean magazine, so she asked if I would grab some shots of her around the office when she was visiting from our NYC office.  By the way, this shoot actually took place on the 8th floor of the Animal Planet offices in Silver Spring.  This fun area has been dubbed "The Tank."

Now, one of my dreams is to be published in print.  There is something so permanent about print that I just don't get from online publishing.  Maybe it's my upbringing surrounded by Nat Geo magazines and books from my father.  See, I'm a magazine junky and subscribe to about 20 magazines.  For me it's like getting a picture book in the mail every month.  I love it.  So I'm hoping Betty and I can get our hands on the magazine once it's printed, and when we do I'll be sure to post it on the blog!

Oh Betty - I just love how busy-busy-busy you are on your cell phone. HA!
