Wednesday, September 19, 2007 - Dobbin's Shoot Preview :

Before the North American's I had the privilege of shooting with photographer Bill Dobbins in his studio. Working with Bill was a great experience and we got some really good shots. Here is a sneak peek of what we got. Enjoy! There will be more photos to come in my members section.

You can also purchase the photo you see above in my store.

Saturday, September 8, 2007 - North Americans :

I just finished competing at my last show of the season, the NPC North Americans. I was so happy to take 5th place at my second national show ever. I had so much fun and met so many great people. It was great being at the show -- I love competing and being on stage.

I also had a great time backstage acting silly with all the girls. After 6 months of dieting and four shows I had to have a good ol' Girls Night Out. Well of course some of the guys came along too, but they didn't participate in all of the "festivities". Let's just say we had a little dance party. It was so much fun. I look forward to competing again next year and plan on working very hard in the off season to improve my overall package so I can step on stage and get closer to reaching my goal of becoming an IFBB Figure Pro!
