Photo updates

Have you ever done a photo shoot of yourself? I've done several over the years since as an artist I often need headshots, and I use several photos of myself on my website. Sometimes it seems weird to do that, yet I want people to know and trust that they are working directly with me and see who I am.

It had been a few years since my last photo shoot. Sometimes there's the desire to stick with the older images... fewer wrinkles, fewer pounds, etc. etc. But it was getting hard for me to ignore that I *really* don't look like my older images since my hair is almost a foot longer than it used to be.

On one of my last forays to Chicago, I met with Thea Dickman (now Thea Volk!) for our third artist image shoot together. We always do something different. I end up with a ton of different styles of shots to choose from, which allows me to keep book images, publicity pics, facebook, blog, and website all looking fresh and varied for at least a couple of years. I've selected 3 to use so far on my website and personal facebook page... quite a variety, no?
