Hey people… before the Prince returns in full force, I gotta drop this line… I just had the pleasure of photographing the most beautiful subject yet.! Let me tell you a bit more. I usually take a week too three weeks to prep before a serious shoot to plan and make things happen. I was presented an opportunity through a new contact to photograph a FIRECRACKER… Mrs. Sincerely Ward. Model, Video Hottie, hostess, ACTRESS and other talents! Hell no I wasn’t gonna turn down the potential! She’s frickin been on (cover) and in some killer magazines not too mention how highly recommended she came! Resistance was MAJOR from all angles: timing, props, clothing, makeup, hair, styling… it was just rough on all areas. Not to say that I’m being ungrateful for the chance… I just know I couldn’t created hell on earth with her. Here is the lesson people, you take everything as a lesson that life is teaching you. Stay prepared at all times! I wasn’t ready to photograph her, but I made it happen and did my best.

I wasn’t even Ultra Trilled (what I’m accustomed too) with the images from the back of the camera when I saw them however I did know that they’d improve with a little work. I only had approximately 50 minutes to photograph her when everything was done but made due and had to severely improvise… severely. After it was over I wasn’t really ready for what I saw on screen with about 10 minutes of tweaking on one of the images I did like… I saw something great… I saw the start of Sincerely Ward…. being REINVENTED! I am actually THRILLED! I saw a new her emerging from the images! I saw something awesome! I believe she can be branded into a frickin’ MACHINE… a TYRA style machine! I pray you read this Sincerely… but think about what I just wrote and look at the direction the images went into! Besides, you are implored to come back so I can create a transformation!

Closeout: Look no one knows what God has in store for people… especially you (I’m talking to you reading)… ’till he gives it too you! He blessed me. My wife was on team, my team came together, my studio (second home) kept its doors open for me, my brotha was able to come in… what can I say? I will say God bless them ALL! The lesson that I see is that when you stride from greatness and a place in eternity…. RESISTANCE COMES STANDARD!

1. QUEEN! YOU ARE KILLER! Rarely do I meet people that have success written all over there persona. You have it! Everybody else sees it! Also, I don’t know if its humanly possible to work with someone that is more fun to work with than you!!! So far you have the “Favorite Person to Work With” title for 2009! You hear that agencies out there… an “A” class model with class and a HELLUVA sweet personality! Only my three girls (Wife, and two daughters) could be any sweeter than you! You have my utmost respect!
