We really enjoy helping people get started with their modeling and acting careers. When Seneca’s mom approached us about a model portfolio photoshoot in Portland, we were excited.

It’s really fun to see shy people relax in front of my camera. It might take a little encouragement, a little coaxing, but I have a knack for it.

While in New York for another assignment, I was commenting on Facebook about the constant downpour of rain in the city. I’d noticed that all true New Yorkers have umbrellas–because they walk everywhere. Even their baby strollers have rain covers and windshields. Coming from Oregon, I figured I could handle a little rain. But then it dawned on me: in…
