the lovely Valerie

Valerie is a dear friend of mine, a lovely woman inside and out. I had the privilege the other day to do her makeup and hair and let me take wonderful portraits of her. Valerie has never modeled before but she was a complete natural in front of the camera. Everything was so fresh and easy for her, I hardly had to coach her at all! But what I love most about Valerie is her truth and friendship. She has stood by me through thick and thin and doesn't put up with anyone's bull! I am proud to have her as one of my dearest friends. <3
