“Purse” Commerical – Foundation for a Better Life

I’ve seen this commercial a few times recently, and I think it’s terrific….until the last 4 seconds. It has interesting characters, a quick mystery, a happy ending with an important lesson, and looks cool visually. But the cops offering the kid a doughnut?? Seriously?!? The commercial is awesome without that tired old joke.

Check out the video below and see if you agree with me.

Purse Commercial Screen Shot

Bree’s Critique: Terrific casting, great camera work, nice editing and color toning, good story and message, but the overused “cops and doughnuts” element at the end throws a sour note on the ad and should have been left out.

Portraits of A.

It’s been a while, dear readers! An explanation might take too long to write and I already chastise myself daily for not blogging more regularly, so let’s just move forward…

Here are a couple shots I created during a portrait session with A., who is cute and sassy and outgoing. I love both pictures…

Thanks for not being afraid to make faces at the camera, A! It was fun to work with you.

Teen portrait fun!

My new teen portraits are now up on my website! It was incredibly fun working with these girls, and I found each of them to be unique and beautiful. There was definitely no stuffiness or formal-ness allowed on our shoot, and I think that came through on camera. Thanks, girls, for letting me work on this project with you! 🙂

Readers… check out the new pictures using the link above and then let me know what you think!
