Meet: Mr. DePino....AND his ProActions!!

First off, I just want to say thank you SOOOOOOOO much to all of you who have commented, emailed or called in the past few days about my last post. It really makes it so much easier to blog something like that knowing that I have friends like you who always have my back!!! Ack! I so want to put something here about how you guys make me the richest girl in the world, but I am at a total loss for finding the right words right now. Seriously, everything I type is a TOTAL cheese fest..... so just know that I love you and you guys mean the WORLD to me!! xoxoxo

Now....whew (fanning myself furiously!!!)...on to some picture fun! A little while back our good friend, the one & only Mr. Steve DePino, asked us if we could shoot some new headshots for some super exciting things that he has coming up. Not the least of which, is the recent release of his brand spankin' new Pro Actions. Seriously I LOVE these things! Each and every one is more yummy than the next. In honor of their release we did the post work on all these pictures using his ROCKIN' new actions. . Sooooo... I'm gonna give you a little behind the scenes action with the "lab experiments" we did on each shot, and after that if you haven't grabbed up a set of these actions yet then you better GET TO IT!!
