Not Just One of the Family!




Uh, okay, I don't usually do a lot of bragging about my clients looking so good. Well, maybe just a little bit. Okay, you got me. I do brag a lot especially when someone is smoking hot. I know this is going to sound really pathetic after what I just said, but this Hottie, oops!!! Cute young lady happens to be my beautiful niece, Tiffany. This was Tiffany's first time to the studio and I don't know where she has been all this time but I think she needs to come back more often. Tiffany was amazing during her photo shoot and her photos are fantabulous. Have a peak at this future model.....


Way to go Tiffany! I am proud of you.......
