    Great job! Where was I?? I didn't see these poses at all!!! It was great to meet you, even if briefly. Next time I'm in San Diego, we'll have to meet up. Your girls are a lot of fun and your oldest is a great photographer - better watch out!!! ;)

    Beautiful!! Especially the first! But I think the last is awful... you totally can't tell that chick is balancing on one leg on a crumbling rock ;-) I guess that must be a testament to what awesome photogs you are! (or maybe what an awesome professional model I was, haha)
    Also, it was nice meeting you and your lovely family. I'd really like to get together (lunch maybe?) sometime!
    Oh, and the 'funny man' is my husband. He's always good for a (sometimes inappropriate) laugh!

    I really like that second picture. It's really moody. I've been checking out the other photographers on this post for other pictures. Some very cool pics. I think they're all really cool, all the pictures are so different yet the same. Can't wait to see more!

    This is Sofie & Paul here! Paul doesn't normally comment on anyone's work unless he really likes what he sees & he's impressed! He's asked me to tell you that he loves what you've shot at Salton Sea. Paul loves the second shot in the Part 2 post and I love the the first shot in this post - in fact it was my favorite of all the ones posted on OSP :) Awesome work! And can't wait to meet you in Vegas!!!

    Hi, it's MARQU, MUA from the Salton Sea shoot. You are so talented and caught so many wonderful images. I have put your work up in my 3 places, website, myspace and model mayhem. I just wanted to say thank you and I would jump at an opportunity to do something with you again. Jessie feels the same way. We'd do another shoot with you in a heart beat.

    I really like the shots that show the makeup. I will be loading another of yours soon. I will also put a link to your website from mine if you'd like-your site is so fun to visit. Love that song, by Bono??? I need to get that song!
    Thank you again!

    Thanks for leaveing me some love on my blog! I did actually come
    over to you and say hi towards the end of the day, but I think that

    shots as well! I love that first one on your blog.
