How many of you are sick and tired of hearing, “It’s all about who you know?” Sadly, the truth is, it is about who you know, however, this is only part of it. Recently I attended a networking event with my husband. As a professional photographer, building his network is important. The event we attended was buzzing and there were hundreds of industry professional’s bopping around that he was hoping to meet. I had him ditch his tired old 60 second elevator pitch, because those only make you sound like a robot, and replaced it with something more sincere, solution…

Recently I signed up for a business building intensive called the 100 days to 100K. During this three month intensive we have been given daily tasks, daily motivational phone calls and daily accountability check-ins, which I refer to as my daily-kick-in-the-ass. This course has pushed me beyond my comfort zone and has made me question everything that excites me about pursuing my heart’s desires, in both good and bad ways. It’s bringing up insecurities, it’s amplifying my strengths and more importantly, it’s forcing me to get more laser focused and become accountable for my successes and my failures. This course…

We live in a society where instant gratification has become the norm. Everyone is wishing for his or her lucky break, a helping hand or a less painful way to make to the top. They would prefer to get in through the back door rather than do the actual work because, well, it just takes too gosh darn long. We’ve all met individuals like this and admittedly, I was one of them. I remember when my daughter told me she wanted to follow in my footsteps and become an actor. The excitement over the idea had me giddy one minute,…

As 2014 came to a close and you began to reflect on what you’ve accomplished, how many of you decided that 2015 was going to be YOUR year? It will be the year that you will take more risks, be bolder and face your fears head on. Maybe you’ve decided to stop second guessing yourself and you will no longer fuel the insecurities that have kept you stuck and or afraid on your journey to living the life you’ve always wanted in the entertainment industry? Yet, it’s February and that grab-the-bull-by-the-horns attitude sounded great when you wrote your goals on…

I know what you’re probably thinking, “Is this lady crazy? I can’t just sit here and do nothing. It’s January for crying out loud. It’s not only a New Year, its pilot season! That means new opportunities, new roles to book and new headshots to take. Sitting still and doing nothing is not going to get me closer to co-staring with ______.” Look I get it. I’m a multitasking super woman too, and the thought of not juggling multiple projects at one time and being able to cross items off my to-do list gives me a silent anxiety attack. Whether…

Over the last decade since I started my venture in the entertainment industry, I’ve learned so much. I’ve developed bonds with people who’ve become family, I’ve been able to mentor my daughter as she began her career in acting and I’ve had the privilege to pay it forward many times over. I will never forget sitting in my first acting class back in 2003. I remember watching a scene taking place between two of my classmates and I could see that the instructor was getting frustrated. She stopped the scene midway and decided to share some advice with the class.…

I have to admit, fall is my favorite time of the year. Perhaps it has a lot to do with the five year old in me who still holds onto the magic of the season. However the older I’ve become and the more responsibilities I’ve taken on; motherhood being the most important of them all, I find myself letting January through October rush past me in a blur. This November I decided to slow down and take on a gratitude project. Just a little something that allows me to photograph anything that inspires me everyday and on the 30th day…

A few weeks ago my daughter had an amazing opportunity to film a national commercial. It was a great experience and every single person we encountered was very kind to us. Upon arriving to this secluded location where your GPS or cellular service no longer worked, it was obvious that a lot of effort went into making sure this commercial was staffed with the proper amount of production equipment, crew and talent to give the client the vision they paid for. Over the last few years as my daughters career has started to pick up, I have had my share…

Let’s face it. Feeling stuck sucks! I don’t care what industry you’re in, this feeling is universal. Feeling stuck not only sucks your energy, your motivation, and your mojo; but it also starts to let self-doubt sink its nasty teeth into your core as you begin to hear the echoes of “I told you so” mess with your psyche. Being an artist is one of the most exhilarating yet exhausting professions anyone can ever choose. To take a leap of faith and know without any reason of doubt that THIS is what you were put on this planet to do…

A few months ago I started my own business and became a “Wrap Girl”! I know, it sounds like a funny name; however there was a moment where I began to wonder if I made the right choice. My intentions were to make some extra money to help support my daughter’s acting career and hopefully make a difference in other people’s lives in the process; and it’s been quite the journey ever since. When I first started I sat with my up-line (the person above me in the Multilevel Marketing company) as she began to explain that starting a business…

Five years ago when my husband left his nine-to-five job for the ability to work for himself, I think I silently panicked for what felt like, well forever. Although I knew this was a smart move for him to quit his job because creatively it was a crime that he wasn’t out there sharing his talents with the world, the illusion of the security that his survival job brought our family made me second guess his decision. It would fascinate and simultaneously irritate me to watch how his immense confidence in his ability to succeed never faltered. While I could…

Every year thousands of actors call it quits. Are they bad actors? Absolutely NOT! They’re the ones who unintentionally choose to work harder instead of smarter. The ones who let everyone else make all the decisions. The ones who’ve submitted their off-brand headshot to every agent within in a twenty mile radius because four people in their acting class said they should. These are the actors who refuse to be typecast because heaven forbid they make money being known as the go-to-actor for portraying a specific role that comes effortless to them. They submit to every role that matches their gender…

If you’re like most actors, I’m sure at some point in the game you’ve imagined yourself standing in front of your peers holding a shiny golden award while giving thanks to all who believed in you. You’ve probably even jotted down a few notes on whom you’d like to thank first. Whether you dwell on it our not, it’s an achievement any actor would never turn down. Living in this one unbelievable moment, can be a feeling of true validation that you chose the right profession. For all those naysayers who told you to quit the business, for all those…

I would be willing to bet that more than half of the people who pursue acting never take the time to learn the business of acting until they think they have to. Which for the most part would probably be once they book their first reoccurring or lead role; after all, isn’t that when it should matter the most? Rarely do I meet an actor who is willing to put themselves through the repetition of numerous auditions, the ups and downs of not booking vs. booking, the sky rocketing fees paid out to photographers, agents, managers, classes, workshops and so…
