What People Say
I have to say this was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. I was taken out there on a helicopter with one of my best friends, Lorenzo Lamas, and his fiancé for my birthday and they surprised me with a photo shoot with this lovely, wonderful lady Elaina. She had the warmest heart and a vision. This is something you can do. You don’t have to go millions of miles to experience it. It’s right here in Los Angeles on Catalina Island. It was the best experience I’ve ever had. I love my pictures, it’s something I’ll have forever.
