#ABREALITY: January 2015

Tim got in touch with me a few months ago about doing a shoot together. Although he didn't plan on shooting anymore "models" for this particular project.. he wanted to get this last shoot in with me. Of course I was honored after seeing his work (and EXTENSIVE Clientele'), and gladly accepted.

We shot in the Posh Mondrian Hotel off of Sunset Blvd, Hollywood in a Deluxe Studio suite. As soon as I met Tim and his kick ass Makeup Artist Haylee, I knew this was going to be an amazing shoot. Not only was Tim welcoming and extremely professional, but he has the most interesting and well thought out idea's.. always asking my opinion before making final decisions. Haylee was quick and on point, sharing her opinion with Tim & I as well, which you hardly ever see. We were a collaborative team on this project.

Tim has an incredible way of working. He has a vision, and makes it happen. Tim also has a totally different way of doing each scene, shooting each idea with a specific song/artist playing in the background. This way of shooting was fairly new for me, and totally changed the vibe (set the mood) which was really helpful! It made for a very smooth transition when I was "changing character" for each scene.

The shoot went into the evening and ended with a few scenes including a few of my drum pieces. I can't wait to see how it all comes out, and definitely can't wait to work with Tim again in the very near future. I highly recommend Tim as a Pro Photographer, plus he's an awesome dude to know and totally REAL (which is rare to find in this industry)! Thank you Tim & Haylee, you rock!

Look out for a 1-on-1 interview session w/ Tim Courtney and I after the shoot on AB Reality Series!

Thanks to the awesome Hotel Staff for your Hospitality

HAPPY NEW YEAR to ALL my Friends Worldwide, Fans, Family, Acquaintances and EVERYONE I have crossed paths with. 2014 was an incredible year for me, and 2015 is going to be x10 because of all of you! Without you guys, I wouldn't be where I am today. Thank you for all your L<3ve and support throughout the years, and please - be safe tonight!

Aside from all that, have a kick ass 2015.. don't txt/drink or drive.. and I LOVE YOU!

Remember - FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS whatever they are. Cheesy or not, "unrealistic" or whatever..
if you have a DREAM, nobody can take that from you. Sooner or later, if you stick it out through the tough times and have the ‪#‎Ambition‬ to make it happen.. YOU WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN.

Keep an eye out for AB Reality early 2015!!

LOVE YOU ALL!
