Both designs I walked in were amazing! Here is a sneak peak. This one by Lile.  Looking forward to walking for Erin Healy tonight! Continue reading ...

One of the Challenges to myself this year is this 52 week project. Many of you will know that my husband and I are also photographers. You can see more of our work at www.journeyphotography.com . So basically the project is a new self portrait every week and each week there are themes associated with it. This is a great challenge and has already helped me start getting out of my creative rut and start thinking out of the box again. Here are my first two weeks. I'll continue to post the rest o...

The past four and a half months I've been enjoying my latest role, Mommy. It's been quite the experience adapting and learning about each other. It is amazing to watch my daughter grow and learn each day more and more about this world we are in. I'm so blessed to be called Sienna's mommy and I couldn't be happier. May I introduce you to our little princess:)  Continue reading ...

So, being in my 3rd trimester and waiting around for this baby to come has been interesting... lots of thinking time;) Losing myself slowly to the "Motherhood" ship can be fun, but sometimes you just want to be yourself again. I've been itching to get a makeover. A new color, a new cut perhaps? I went online and found some online makeover sites;) Here I am with Blonde Hair;) I'm going to wait til little Sienna comes though before I make any big decisions about changing my look. Not sure if ts... Continue reading ...

They have a docu-series on Discovery Health about models who work while expecting! Very exciting stuff:)  Thank you Liza for bringing me on board! I look forward to future wo...
Yesterday I took a road trip with my friend and model Tara Block down to Tampa to visit one of her agents, Benz Models and Talent Agency.

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... Continue reading ...

You will remember about a month ago I worked with Wrapsol Protection System. A really great product. It's a protective film you place on your macbook, iphone, gaming device, etc. I was hired to walk through the application device for new users. The shoot went great and I was just informed this week that the videos are running live now on their youtube site. Click to see!

Even if you have an agent, and especially if you don't, its very important to be your own marketing pro! This means, having a website (i.e. www.theamywest.com or www.thetarathomas.com ), a facebook, and or a myspace account, blogging, twittering (i.e. theamywest, and strut365), etc, etc.... And the obvious portfolio, headshots, comp cards, and now everyone also carries a business cards in addition to their comp cards.
Today I was working on my new business card and thought I'd share. ...

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... Continue reading ...

I contacting Lori several months ago after reading an article about Media Rapids in the Business Journal.

We were mutually busy as the holidays were fast approaching, so we determined to meet at a later time. Fast forward a couple months. In an effort to do more networking for our business Journey Photography I attended a local BNI group here in North Florid... Continue reading ...
