Today was a photo shoot.  Dámaris doesn’t look forward to photo shoots.  Her favorite makeup artist, Missy Vazquez, lives in Maryland.  The photographer we liked a lot moved to Ireland years ago, and wardrobe is always a big decision.  And, unless you are a professional model, the scrutiny of every angle of your face to then be emblazoned somewhere forever is daunting.

But, our hair and make-up artist is up visiting family in NYC this week, our friend, Megan Gomez (a model), has taken up photography, and we need new photos.  So away we went to Long Island this morning.  Not that she needs any help, but after powders and paint and spray and stuff, Dámaris looked EVEN MORE beautiful.  And, we had fun and fellowship with friends in the faith.  We cannot wait to see the actual shots.  A big THANK YOU to Megan, Missy and Jodi!!!

A lot goes into those photos that you see on magazine covers and CD cases.  Even a simple “head shot” takes a lot of preparation and intricate lighting.  It isn’t your ordinary point-and-shoot family vacation snaps of the dog and kids.

Look for the actual photos to show up real soon in a couple of places on this site.
