Mary.

December was supposed to be a quiet month, a time for reflection and purposeful deliberation on the year ahead, a time to plan, rekindle, realign goals and aspirations. Instead, because of my bright idea to put together a holiday promotion and for reasons only the stars can reveal, my month was busy with several portrait sessions, a test session and a wedding. And that was good. It was a pleasant surprise, and it reminds me to be flexible and grateful for abundance.

This last minute shoot was for Exalt Agency. Mary is a sprite, all girls catholic school girl, like myself, with legs as long as redwood trees and skin as clear as porcelain. If my calculations are accurate this was roughly her third time in front of a camera, modeling that is. Few young women possess character, poise, confidence, grace and amiability like Mary. She was impressive, and I hope her new career goes far.
