Hey friends!

It’s been a while since I’ve sent a newsletter – but that’s just because there has been so much going on, it’s hard to find time to sit down and collect my thoughts. Sometimes it is hard to juggle having a career, while being a mother and a wife. But I don’t mind – its been a lot of fun!

A few weeks ago, I received a call from the editors of Hot Rod Magazine, asking me if I would like to do another photo shoot. This time, though, it wasn’t for Hot Rod Deluxe, but for Hot Rod itself. I was thrilled, and I can’t describe how happy I was to get the chance since I owe so much of my success in the automotive industry to this magazine! The shoot was at Pure Vision, a totally cool shop in Simi Valley, Calif. They do restorations and customization, but really there cars are much more than just restored and customized. Check out their website to see what I mean.

After that shoot, we had our first Velocity Magazine TV shoot at the Coastline Classic car show in Corona Del Mar. The setting was awesome – right on the beach in the harbor. It wasn’t a very big show, but they had a great range of cars, and we were able to interview a few owners of some very cool cars – including the proud new owner of the Batmobile from the 1989 Batman movie.

This past weekend, we had another shoot for Velocity at the OC Autoshow. This was a really different shoot, because Velocity focuses on classic and custom vintage cars and everything at the OC Autoshow was about new cars. But there were a few cars there that caught our attention – the new Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 from our friends at Orange County Lamborghini was my favorite! I might never get to own one but at least they let me sit in it!

That’s quick rundown of the past couple of months, but we still have a lot to get through before the year is out. We’re working on our plans for 2009, but I hope to have some exciting stuff to announce before the year is out.

See you all soon!
