I’m tired tired tired…but wanted to post the last setup from this weekends workshop.  I haven’t shot Chelsey for quite some time and she is always a pleasure. Chelsey is an absolute professional and a joy to work with.  Her posing and movement is superb.  The percentage of keepers is extremely high.  She is signed […]
