The Pattern of You
On March 6, 2016 by hottomatopinupacademy8Telling the body’s story with images almost always evokes powerful emotion. It connects, it guides and it always belongs. It’s the pattern of you.
Get Your “Cin” On!
On February 23, 2016 by hottomatopinupacademy8Don’t even TRY to get the “boob sweat” seats because Hot Tomatoes are going to arrive in droves..EARLY for this hot show!! PROMISE.
Mood Lighting
On February 21, 2016 by hottomatopinupacademy8A beautiful artist and friend of mine once told me that the magic of art wasn’t what was obvious but what the person viewing it could pull from the image. The piece, then, becomes limitless in what it can convey.
Love, a Many Splintered Thing
On February 14, 2016 by hottomatopinupacademy8But damn if anyone gives two hoots that you managed, in a single, insignificant motion, to firmly embed a microscopic bit of plunger handle into the side of your middle finger while trying to sink oversized golden retriever excrement into the toilet without flooding the bathroom! Nope. Zero hoots.
Let’s Get Real, a Valentine
On February 12, 2016 by hottomatopinupacademy8Let’s get real for a moment, shall we? A real effing Valentine moment. A moment that will likely be interrupted by a small, slimy child, a text from your boss outlining a {mandatory} opportunity for you to get some extra hours on your only scheduled day off or the unmistakable yack/splat sound of dog vomit hitting the floor.
I’m just going to go ahead and assume that you clicked on this post because you relate. Or because you know me personally. Or that it was quite by accident. However it happened, just understand that I’m about to get real honest.
Sometimes life is a complete shit show. Also, February is a HORRIBLE month to focus on love. You’re sick for the billionth time, freezing your ass off, fatter than you’ve ever been and perpetually in another financial month of NOT recovering from Christmas. “What’s that ?” asks the Universe. “Your life needs to be a bit more challenging? Allow me to pop your teenage daughter’s car in a creek and give your dog worms. Also, as a special bonus, I’ll let all the stink bugs in the world know that your home is a perfect place to get out of the cold.”
Then you see an ad. It will say something like this:
“Spice up your Valentines Day with sexy portraits of yourself without a bad attitude, damaged hair, scaly skin or ass zits!! Only one miiiillllion dollars”<
Anna: Repeat Offender
On February 10, 2016 by hottomatopinupacademy8The most delightful surprise for me since creating Hot Tomato is the number of clients who come back..not just once but over and over! This isn’t just a bucket list item for many in the area. Booking time with Hot Tomato has developed into a long term relationship with an extended group of support, encouragement and self care. It’s a way to celebrate their adulthood through all of its transformations!
Meet Anna. I met her when I was helping Andi greet clients for a Roberts Family Photography Holiday Mini session day. She arrived with her family for holiday portraits and I recall her being kind and reserved, very polite and maybe even a little shy! This gal turned out to be one of our VIP firecrackers! A stunning model, an adventurous spirit and a wonderful friend!
Vintage Valentine
On February 2, 2016 by hottomatopinupacademy8When Hot Tomatoes LOVE a business, everyone knows it. So, it’s time to give a big ol shout out to Heirloom Finds!
