My Best friend since we were four years old is the most amazing musician. She is currently working on yet another CD, and we did some experimental shots the other day. I'm only going to post one because more shooting is planned and I want to be able to add her links in my next post. She is such a beautiful woman! Her name is Carrie Johnson. A lot of her previous albums have been made with her sister Libby (also an incredible artist) with the band then being called Twenty Two Brides. Ironic that I end up shooting weddings. I think these two girls would make great "trash the dress" models. I am officially planting the seed!

Best Friend Here!! There is no better feeling than looking at an image of yourself and feeling like whoever took that picture captured the real me - and made me look beautiful to boot!! I am the lucky one because MY BEST friend just happens to be one of the most talented photographers and artists I have ever known.
Since I have known Cynthia (That's Cin to me of course) all my life, I have borne witness to her artisitic "eye" and am always amazed at the way she sees the world. It's not like I do. Cin can capture a moment, a blossom, a fallen leaf, a mood, a celebration - but not just with her camera, with her connection to life! Like a magician, Cynthia has the ability to make images spring to life!!
Throughout my career as a musician many a photographer has snapped away and I am usually left feeling like "Well, there I am - maybe the retouchers can make it look better". I NEVER feel that way when Cynthia shoots me. I ALWAYS feel she captures the real me - and not just because she knows me. It's because she knows her craft and she knows how to get the BEST out of me.
When Cynthia was shooting for publications such as Bon Apetite and Food and Wine I would occasionally drop by the studio to view her work. I was simply amazed that she could make a grilled steak look like a rare and precious gem!!
Well, I could go on and on.....but Cin, I absolutely LOVE the pics you took of me - they'll be on the new cd cover and liner notes!!
I am honored to call one of the finest photographers I know my BEST Friend - but I am truly blessed to have her in my life.
Love You Always Cin,
XOXOXCarr
(Carrie Johnson-Davis)
