I heard the song on the radio that has this phrase and it reminded me that I needed to write about a recent shoot I had with Anna. I met Anna through another photographer friend of mine, Lou. They're both from the same country, Madagascar. Anna came to a meetup style shoot a few years ago where you have a bunch of photographers, models, and make-up-artists get together for the sole purpose of everyone working on their portfolio. Once in a while, I like to pull together a really simple shoot to accomplish the same goals...keep the portfolio fresh with new material.

Anna has - uh - a few things going for her here. First, she's super nice, speaks French, which is always fun to listen to, she's easy on the eyes (stating the obvious), and she's totally professional; show's up on time, no drama, respectful, etc. She mentioned she was able to be an extra in an upcoming feature film. I'm hoping she'll remember our work when she's famous :-) Oh, and I forgot to mention that she makes my job super easy because she just magically falls into these great poses without me needing to guide much at all. Love it! This particular shoot was pretty short (setup to breakdown was probably 60 minutes). There were less than 100 photos taken. Enjoy a few of my favorites.

And a few more...
