REMEMBER OUR MILITARY
Unfortunatly there has been over 4,ooo young men and women who are our neighbors, friends, co workers kids, nephews, cousins etc dead and pushing close to 30,000 without limbs, injured etc...
Time keeps going by and we get busy with  our own lives and loose track of time but the numbers keep clicking up totaling more and more. What people forget is for every click there are many lives ruined, lost and changed forever. Our men and women are not just a click or a number....

Thank you for noticing, reading and hopefully if asked your opinion you remember all the "clicks" and speak up and out for them.

Keep them in your prayers that they come home soon & safe.....
                            Remember our Military...
THANK YOU to all military who has EVER served our country

There is a daily count based on news reports. It is not intended to be complete. There is no agency that keeps track of accurate numbers of Iraqis killed. JustForeignPolicy maintains a running estimate based on the Lancet study with the rate of increase derived from the Iraq Body Count.


Pray our elected officials and those in charge work hard to BRING ALL our boys (and girls) home NOW

I liked modeling but you guys made me LOVE IT! 
**********************************************
      Some of the personal info on me is I am a twin and come from a large, loving Greek family. Before modeling I was a high level competitive gymnasts for several years. If I had to describe the kind of photos I prefer it would be classy and timeless types.
       My passion and what drives me is an incredible desire to capture the next look or the chance to get that "amazing shot."  I love to see how a photographer takes his  idea and turns it into something amazing right before my eyes. Watching and studying the work of great photographers inspire me to try harder.
I live to be a part of that...

“Someday all the photo shoots, campaigns and hoopla comes to an end.
It’s what you see in the mirror when your 10 minutes of fame is over that’s MOST important"
                       By my favorite quote- making mom
