CommentHi Laura! You asked about headshots! I'm not sure if you are going to be in the Ann Arbor area any time soon, but my friend Abby (voted one of the best Detroit area photographers) would probably love to do more headshots for you. Here's her blog site, hope you make a connection. Take care, sweets!

Commentnice! hey, you and lauren got new headshots. i like them, but i feel that if you photoshopped them a little you could fix the lighting in them. they're very dark and shadowy.

CommentI ended up not responding with the "GOT IT" and didn't go Monday. I had too much going on and it just didn't make sense So I passed on it. I hope you had a great time. Did it get old after a while, is that why you left early Monday? I can imagine it did.

Take care and I hope to see you again sometime at a set.
