The Fresh Fest was def a great show. It was nice to see the old skool Hip Hop acts again from Dougie Fresh/Slick Rick, Salt N Pepa, Whodini, Big Daddy Kane and Biz Markie.
Bobby Breeze was a pleasure to work with. He is a new model on the scene looking to establish his modeling portfolio and career. We had a two day shoot since it rained on us the first day so only did studio shots but he flourished and was great to shoot outdoors.
Model: Jaz It was great working with Jaz, whom is a beautiful sista! I shot with her once to be apart of my Book Project and after working with her I came up with idea for next Book Project which is Shapely Women. She represents Grown and Sexy very well. When we shot the smoke scenes it was our last set of shots and thankfully it was cause I was so into the shoot didn't mean to have her smoke almost the whole cigar! But I was in the moment and she was too until the Cigar made her quezy.
It was great working with her Renegade whom I call "Sarabie". We worked well together her energy is out the roof which makes shooting inspiring and makes you go harder. We've been trying to shoot together for some months now and we she told me she was heading out to Cali soon I had to make it happen. Glad I did. I know we will see her face again very soon. When I took some shots I yelled Essence along with MUA (Make up Artist) in the room.
He put on one of the greatest hip hop concerts I've ever seen. I've been a fan of his music which is Real Hip Hop since the 80's. His Atlanta concert he gave us all his old skool cuts from "Move the Crowd", "Melody" and the list goes on.
This book project is featuring African American Shapely Women. The purpose of this Coffee Table Book is do display in BW that women are sexy and that you don't have to be a size 4 to be sexy. The women featured in this book will be a size 12 and up.
This person was very dear to my heart. His name was Daniel N. Peterson. My ex-boyfriend for 7 years. He passed away earlier this year. Even though we went through good/bad times as all couples do. It's very hard to believe that he's no longer with us. He was dedicated to his hip hop career and I will always think of him when see the greatest cause I know how bad he wanted it. Love you much Daniel!
