Interviews and LaLaLaing it.

This week has been a flurry of awesome.  That always seems to happen when I come to the warm coast.  I adore Los Angeles.  This town always revives me and gets the East Coast winter chill out of my bones (and fingertips)!
I came out for some interviews and some hand modeling work.  I am very excited about the interviews – I cannot wait untill I get the word that I can share and talk more about them!!!!  During one yesterday, I was asked about my first job ever and I found a copy!!!

I remember walking onto the set and not knowing at all what to expect.  I knew I was going to hold a phone and that I would be sharing the image with an adorable little girl.  The photographer, Ron Samardge, was amazing at giving us direction and helping us find a comfortable pose that we could hold for a long period of time.  I remember thinking ‘wow, that sure was easy’ after it was over.  Little did I know then that this was not typical for most hand jobs.  Most of the times when you are hand modeling, you have to keep your head and body out of the shot so you have to think like a contortionist.
This job was my beginning and I have loved the entire journey and can’t wait to see what is next.

Chilling with Jeff Saxman for Hamilton Beach

Got to hang with one of the first people to help me out on the hand modeling journey today!  Jeff Saxman and his assistant Rich were one of my first clients.  I believe they might have been my 2nd job ever!  Today we were working on an industrial something or another for hotels and restaurants made by Hamilton Beach.  I’ve been working for HB exactly as long as I’ve been working with Jeff and I love that these jobs are based in one of the best cities in the country – Richmond, VA!

People Magazine Interview

I woke up this past Friday to a flurry of texts and messages as friends found what I had been wondering about!!  A few months ago, a lovely gal from People Magazine contacted me about an interview.  We chatted on the phone for a few hours and I sent her some of my favorite images.  I had almost forgotten about it when I woke to all the notifications!  The issue was OUT!  I am so excited to see it in person, I still haven’t found a copy!!  Robyn, the owner of Cary St Cafe in Richmond, VA has a copy saved for me!!  THANK YOU ROBYN!!
The beautiful and talented actress, Jivelle Callender, was able to scan and send the article so that I didn’t have to wait till I could hold a copy in my hand to read the entire thing.  THANK YOU JIVELLE!!!
and drum roll – Handy in People Magazine (I’ve come a long way since the National Enquirer days!!)

Hamilton Beach Days

A great day on set with Double Image for Hamilton Beach.  I’ve loved working with this team since the beginning, I cannot believe I have been lending a hand for their ads since sometime around 2000!  They helped to train me to become a better hand model and always had my back as I started expanding and working around the country.
