Memories

I have a specific memory of one of my very early childhood birthday parties. My memory consists of me opening a present with a pink bunny inside. A few years ago I was going through some old pictures at my mother's house and ran across a familiar picture of me opening that present and holding the bunny. Strangely I don't remember getting any other presents or anyone being at the party that was not present in the picture. I am convinced that photographs strengthen or even create memories.

When photographers say they are "preserving your memories", I think it is such a trite statement and I have to try not to gag. But, it's true. Great photography will not only preserve great memories but enhance them and make them more glorious and special as the years go on.

You deserve great portraits of yourself during special times in your life. Ok, I hope that didn't sound trite!

Archetype Beauty

As a photographer in the fashion/glamour industry I have worked with plenty of hair and makeup artists. I have to say Valerie Osmond with Archetype Beauty is the best. Not only can she create any look flawlessly, but she is also great at listening to her clients so she can make them look just how they imagine. I am so lucky to be able to work with her and can't say enough about her great artistry, darling personality and professionalism.

And guess what! Valerie's hot new website is up and showing off her talent. Visit her online at www.archetype-beauty.com
