Try something different

Working out is something that I am a huge fan of. It is also important to do in keeping you in shoot ready condition. Sometimes when traveling that can be harder to do. A couple of years ago I turned to Pilates to help me get in an awesome workout when going to the gym wasn't possible..

I am happy to report that is is one of the best ways to exercise I have ever done. It helps with mind and body. Giving you a sense of ease. To me it brings the best of everything that exercise offers. It specifically targets your core strength and for modeling it is imperative to have that strength to hold poses and stay in balance. so if you haven't tried it yet. head to your nearest Pilates class or studio and try it out. I think you will find quick result and a sense of well being in your life. With this we can all show that.....Petite Gils Rock!!!!!!

911 Where were you 11 years ago

Where were you on 9/11.. I was a grade school child put into lock down. That is when no one can enter the school and no one can leave the school all the classroom doors have to be closed and the window blinds and window are closed. You stay in one room and basically just sit there...

 I was very confused I really just wanted to go home they showed some of the news reports which was even more confusing and I was worried about my family (some live in NY, NJ and PA) I wondered when I could go home. and if I had a home to go to.. I know that many of you have your own stories but I can never forget that feeling that my life and my country has changed forever. That naive innocence was gone for ever. We were at War and I didn't really know how that was going to feel and it scared me.

I remember that when they finally they released us from school and I was never so glad to be home. As a family we sat and watched in complete disbelief that this had all happened and waited to hear what was next. Although it was still a frightening  time I was so thankful to be with my parents. Safe at least for the moment. What a senseless tragedy that has shaken our country to the core. I was angry and sad, relieved to hear about my loved ones and horrified to hear about others. I have visited the 9/11 site in NYC several  times since that day and every time I am flooded with emotion and also pride. I am proud of our country and I am proud to be an American.. I hold close our values and our spirit everyday when pursing my own passions and dreams. That is what keeps me pushing forward and showing the world that.......Petite Girls Rock!!!

Looking into fall and moving forward

The ending of summer finished up strong and I couldn't be happier with my awesome shoot for Jolie Toi

This past weekend found me busy with commercial projects and portfolio shoots. Unfortunately no images from my commercial work yet (can't post until they are public) but here is one from a shoot I did on Sunday with Ron Cash. I have worked with Ron several times but it had been awhile and it was great to work with him again!!

Now that we are on the cusp of a new season I look forward to many new projects that are scheduled and all opportunities that may come up.. It is an exciting time of year with all the new fashion out and all the new trends.. I am hoping to shoot some of them shortly and can't wait to share them with you all. Keep your plans moving forward and show the world that.......Petite Girls Rock!!!!!
