Set Shot

Hair & Make-Up Poolside

It was cold on the Aqua Sphere set yesterday! I'm always amazed at how photographers can make a dreary day look sunny.

 

Goggles Galore

Look at the selection of colors! Almost makes me wish I could wear more than one pair at a time.

 

New Suits

I don't remember how many suits I put on but it was a lot!!! "Do any of these come in flannel?"
