THANKS!
First and foremost, I would like to thank my parents. They have done so much for me, and worked so hard to get me to where I am today. Words can not express how thankful I am for their support and love. They're always there for me and they have my back.
Also, I would like to thank God. I am a strong Christian, and I know that it is only through Him that I have gotten to do this. He has blessed me with the person I am, personality as well as looks, with the people he has surrounded me with, as well as all these wonderful opportunities. He is always there, at every shoot, from the first one, and I am confident he will be at my last.
Curt Fuer--
Thank you so much for shooting with me today at that beautiful location. You were very relaxing to be around and shoot with. I felt really comfortable. I had a lot of fun in the water and being able to shoot that concept with you. I am really excited for working with you again in the future-and to see the proofs from this shoot. I learned a lot today and thoroughly enjoyed your company. I am sorry your equipment wasn’t working as well as you would have liked though. =[ Anyways-HAHA hope you enjoyed walking in my mother’s shoes HAHA!

Also, thanks for having Coffee with us and letting us see all the images-I feel so sorry for you that you have to pick. They were all so incredible!

I am so impressed with all the talent-cannot wait to collaborate with you on some more "soft" projects. =]
