First off – I’m apologize to all my friends here in LiveSpaces.  I’ve been away for quite a while with no updates at all!

Been a rather trying period as I deal with work and the economy, but I would like to say I’ve made some progress in that arena.  Thanks for your positive vibes sent in my direction.  I appreciate it.

Ok, on to photography.  In October, I was involved in shooting glamour/pin up style photos for the Miss ND USA and Miss ND Teen USA pageant program book.  For the most part, I tried to shoot my photos in an “old hollywood glamour” style.  It was a complex style to shoot, but SO much fun compared to normal modeling work that I do on a regular basis.

I’m going to post a couple of my favorites here, but I’ll post links to ALL the photos at the end of this message (if you want to see more!)

The rest of my photos are here on my Facebook Page. 

I only shot a portion of the contestants.  I encourage you too look at the rest shot by Matt Lentz here: Miss ND USA

I’m working on some other photos.  Hope to have another post soon.
