RedBull Illume Photo Contest Result

Well, I didn't make it to the finals of the RedBull Illume Photo Contest but am proud to say that I was a semi-finalist.  My photo was among the 250 chosen out of 22,764 photos submitted!  Hmmm, there may be something to this photography thing after all.

Katie Sullivan Headshots

Katie has an amazing voice and recently decided to put it to good use.  She's been going out to auditions and landed a part this past week!  Congratulations Katie!  However, she can't go out to these auditions without a good headshot...that's where I come in.
