Fab Solo Shoot

My good friend Dee called me up on Wednesday night and said
"Slim chance, but any way you might be available tomorrow night for quick shoot?"
She knew she had somewhere to go and would be looking her best so she wanted some pics of herself, we've all been there right?

I had no coverage for the boys and wasn't sure if I could pull it off.
However, I can never turn down an opportunity to photograph my favorite fashionista.
She is a ridiculously talented designer and blogger, and is in the know of all things "in."
Whether it be clothes, home design, places to go or foods to eat, You name it, Dee has her finger on the pulse.
Check her out at murphydeesign.com.

So I rolled over there (boys in tow) and we did the shoot as quickly as we could.
She said she was really uncomfortable "posing" and it made her feel awkward... "I am not model-y", she said.
But look at the results, you'd never know it!
We just walked around her neighborhood, no big sets or locations.
We got 118 great photos in a quick and painless 30 minutes.

Hallmark and the Noreen Fraser Fund

I was honored to be asked to share my personal story in beating breast cancer on Hallmark Channel's Show, Home & Family. 
I haven't been public about my journey, so this was a little out of my element... but I was honored to be there. 
The Noreen Fraser Foundation is such an amazing cause and the Home & Family crew couldn't have been more welcoming.
These photos were all taken with my sister's cell phone, but 
I will be posting more later so stay tuned!!

This was during the rehearsal. 

That is the makeup artist, Amy Rittiner, who gave me my "Spring Refresher."

She was such a sweetheart. 

This was just before the show went LIVE! 

They taped this episode with a Live Audience and we were on the Universal Lot, 

so every few minutes a tram of tourists on the Universal Studios Tour would drive by and stare :) 

Here is a bit from the interview segment. 

I had my very pregnant sister there with me for support!

Oh joy....A close up.

Amy working her magic.

And that's a wrap!! 

Thank you so much to the whole Home & Family crew, The Noreen Fraser Fund and Wet n' Wild Cosmetics for making this such a great day.
