Ooooh... Pose for me.

Fresno was seeing rain, fog followed by gray skies, frost covered leaves and roofs, and more rain. Actors were being asked to "dress for summer" for a photo shoot outdoors on December 22nd! On top of everything else, there was less than one week's notice!

So, Saturday morning, the clouds parted, the frost melted quickly, and people arrived at 9am for publicity photos. The weather Gods were on our side.

We had Lisa V. for make-up and hair, Debora for wardrobe (her Sheriff's uniform was stunning), and Ron as our beloved photographer. Kate, Heather, Renee, Matt, Greg and Dave trickled in and did a lot of sitting around waiting for their turn with Lisa. Our kids' bedrooms became the blue and pink dressing rooms, the dining room became the make-up trailer and the living room was the green room - even though it's orange!

Finally, we were off to Woodward Park. It's amazing how versatile it is, standing in for summer in Northern California on a wintry day. Everyone pitched in, carrying our gear, blankets for rests between posings, boots for the mud and duck poo, with all of us in tow primping and arranging, and shifting things and people around.

WE HAVE AMAZING TROOPERS. It was cold - definitely cold, but there were no complaints - a few jokes, maybe, but no complaints. Through blue lips and an amazing array of goosebumps, the shoot turned out fantastically!

I thank you all for your amazing dedication and patience. I think it was well worth the work. It's amazing how well the chemistry worked and how it pops out in the pictures. (Look at some of the take-outs on the pics page.)

Stay tuned for more adventures in film financing!
