Overboard 9

Heidi is a girl after my own heart.  She has a heart as big as I've ever seen and she is one of the sweetest girls I have ever seen.  Heidi also has 11 dachsunds.  That means she has 2 more dogs than I do...that's a lot!!!  Heidi also loves her crafts, especially her scrapbooking.  In fact, she's turned one of her bedrooms into a scrapbooking room - complete with racks purchased from a store that's gone out of business.  Heidi's house is a beautiful log cabin, and in order to light her, I bounced a flash off her closet doors.  She was definitely a joy to work with and a wonderful addition to the Overboard series.

I met Terri when we worked together for a period of time.  When we first met, Terri was not as fit as you see here.  She certainly wasn't a big girl, but she was not as sculpted as she is now.  Terri became interested in the self-defense of krav maga in the last few years, and the result of all her hard work can be seen in this photo.  She was a prime candidate for the Overboard series since she has certainly taken her training to an extreme.

Overboard 7

We have all heard people use the words, "as cuddly as a teddy bear."  But, what about a teddy bear that's wrapped in plastic.  Lorraine can probably tell us something about that because she purchases teddy bears all the time...teddy bears from various stores and places.  When she gets her new stuffed friends home, she quickly wraps them in plastic and stores them away in a spare room.  And....that's where they stay.  All her bears are white and most of them are Christmas bears.  In shooting Lorraine's portrait for the "Overboard" series, I created a wall of teddy bears on her living room sofa and floor.  We then placed Lorraine in the upper right corner of the frame and the result is the shot you see here.
