Sneak Peek from this week's photoshoots

August 17, 2009
A quick recap. 

Wednesday's trip to shoot with Disney was great! I was cast as a young mom and got to ride some fun rides with my new faux family, complete with Grandparents, a 4 year old daughter and a husband. The shoot was basically a stock shoot for Disney and its travel affiliates to use in brochures and promotional materials. No promises on ever finding those tears, but hopefully I'll get more opportunities to work with them in the future. It was surreal being there and reliving my child...

August 2, 2009
For those of you who haven't heard yet, I am expecting! I'm in week 10 of my first trimester and things are going great:) I'm over the morning sickness, it was quite brief for me thank God. Like many women in entertainment, I had a few concerns about how my new condition was going to effect my future work in the industry.

The Importance of Marketing Yourself

June 15, 2009

The White Carpet- Wedding Event and Style Party

June 15, 2009
Friday night was the celebration of Wedding Event and Style magazine's first issue! As you know I had the honor of gracing the cover. So it was my great pleasure to attend the party with my family. I have to admit it was a little intimidating, surreal, weird, but very very cool, to see my Giant Cover! I'm such a blessed girl. Thank you Wedding Event and Style for inviting me to be apart, and thank you to my wonderful family who are such a great support system. 

Clearly, I "Got it from my Momm...
