It’s not often I find someone both helpful and talented and willing to work with me. But I did today. Jen Fariello at jenfariello.com.

Not only was she efficient, friendly and good at what she does, she was willing to work with me on this shoot - and climb around in the van, brave my dog Koko, and all the stuff that makes a good photographer good. I hate getting in front of a camera. It reminds me I need to be losing weight, and makes me feel like I’m trying on new swimsuits on a *fat* day. But she made me feel at ease. The photos are for an article to appear in Motivated Magazine (http://motivatedonline.com) or available at most airports and at Barnes & Noble, or by subscription.

She’s at 313 Second Street SE #106 in Charlottesville, VA and I’m really happy with the photos she took today. If you need great photos - check out her site - (434) 963-7976. You’ll be glad you did!
