Montecito

So my sister, Theresa Hayes, just emailed me about her day.  Theresa is a wonderful nurse, although you would much rather run into her in a grocery store,  rather than at her “day” job, which is an intensive care nurse at Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara.  Apparently she ran into friend of mine.   At the […]

Respect for Relationships.

It’s been a week since I posted and been shooting a lot, so I got a lot to share!!  But one thing I don’t do is share something that my clients haven’t yet seen or don’t want me to share, so don’t worry!!!  Those nude shots of you will never see the light of internet […]
