We are doing an Ask Me Anything!! From where my career is at to what my biggest pet peeve is, I answer all of your questions. We start off with me telling you about my upcoming commercial headshot session, my honest feelings about the slow pace of the industry currently, and why community is so important to staying hopeful during quieter periods. Thanks for all of the wonderful questions, and let me know if you want to do more of these by leaving me more questions in the comments!
