Model ~ Ember Johnson

I met up with Ember, an aspiring young model, and her mom Lori at Lake Wenatchee last week.  She hired us to take some portfolio pictures.  Looking though the images now it looks like a sunny day at the beach, but the reality was that the wind was blowing about 40MPH and it was hard to even stand up!  Communcation was tough too - yelling from just a few feet away was the only way to be heard.  Ember was a trooper - it tooks guts and determination to model swimwear on that beach!!

Thanks Ember! - I have a feeling you’re going to go a long way in this business. :)
