I recently had the opportunity to shoot Miss Amanda Moreley in Whistler during international training week. Can you imagine me, at 5' 31/2" walking around Whistler surrounded by all the notable bobsledders of the world. These people are dedicated.

First of all, IT was darned cold!!! I mean the rain turned to snow in front of our very eyes! What a sport for stripping down to show off those substantial bobsledder muscles.

Second, what a joy spending time with her. This woman is the epitome of positive thinking.
I'm quite certain she'll visualize her way onto the podium for GOLD!

Way to go Amanda! Sending tonnes of love and support on your epic Olympic journey!

Every year I choose to donate my time and skill to support various non-profit organizations. WOW! I think it's definitely a win-win. Alright...seriously I could never have taken these shots without an incredible makeup artist and a very enthusiastic Grinch. It humbles me and reminds me that teamwork is where it's at!

I use my reflector for a backdrop!!!

On this particular location the backdrop was fairly dark. I wanted to create a high key image, so I simply used my reflector. The point is... there is usually always a creative solution to get the look and feel you want.
