Erin Returns as Riley Nicole

Some times we find ourselves so overwhelmed with our day to day that we forget about times or certain individuals who have an aura or energy that affects us in a positive way. The little girl pictured above was one of those girls who brought the sunshine to my day just by being around. Just look at that smile on my face. Erin could have done it even without taking her clothes off but we all like the little “bonus’” that come along with our jobs.



We still had the Simi property and Erin was quite the newbie at the time. It may have even been her first or second photo shoot ever. Mark and I both loved that she is an artist, an actual working artist who gets her hands dirty and then spends the better half of the night before a shoot cleaning them. So why not throw her in the kitchen sink so she could scrub a little more?



Last week while we were producing in the big room, Erin walked up the stairs from the web offices, gave us all her coy smile, and proceeded to ascend the upper stair case to our master suite for some fresh casting shots which I made a point to look through at the end of our day. . Needless to say her sway left us all a little distracted. Plus this was the first time in over two years that we have seen her.



The reason I am sharing this is because we are shooting Erin again on Thursday and Mark and I are already exchanging fantasy stories on how we are picturing her. I have to share that it is amazing how much a girl can mature within a couple of years, especially a girl who has avoided entering the hard core world and continues to model, as Erin puts it, “for arts sake”.

Have a great week y’all,
