Lets remind to around October of last year. I was on a flight back from the Dominican Republic and going through customs in Atlanta. I hadn’t had my phone turned on in about 4 days and of course, the very first thing I did was grab for my lifeline. The door of the plane wasn’t even open before I was listening to my voicemails. Delete, delete, delete, OH WAIT, SCREAM!! I had just received a VM from Channel 5 in Cleveland. At first I didn’t believe it so I listened again..and again..and again. They wanted to do a feature on my boudoir photography. Of course, here I am in customs now where phone calls aren’t allowed and it’s nearing 11PM at night. What do I do? I call Channel 5 back, half crying and half grasping for some air and apologize over and over that I didn’t return the call sooner. Basically at that point I figured a once in a lifetime chance was down the drain but on with life I went.
Then around 9am on a Thursday morning (I have a killer memory I tell you) I get a call from Channel 5 who is of course, already added into my phone at this point. She tells me they want to do the story and is next Tuesday OK. Of course it’s OK. I won’t miss this opportunity twice. I had 5 days to gather my thoughts, find a girl and think of ideas. Of course I over thought everything, worried myself to death and didn’t eat for a couple days. However, in the end, it was one of the days that I can add to the, “holy crap, i can’t believe that happened” moments.
Welcome to the wonderful world of crappy iphone pictures. Alyssa is a wonderful past client who came in to help for the session. Ramona (in all black) is the amazing women behind all the makeup. Then the wonderful channel 5 crew and Alyssa outside doing her interview…..which brought me to a sobbing mess!

Also, the interview will air tomorrow, Tuesday on the channel 5 news at 11PM. I’ll also upload the video here when it comes available!

Congratulations on getting TV exposure -that is just so cool 🙂
Somehow I can’t imagine boudoir photography being featured on TV in the UK.
Just checked out your pictures from the feature and they’re wonderful.
