Today our group split up. One group went with Karen, Bryttie and the moms to Brooklyn to shoot. The others stayed with me in the city. We had fun! And got great shots.

We continued our dining journey around the world…Chinese-Japanese-Fusion! So good.

Lesson four is always a favorite at Springboard. The girls get their make-up done by the teachers and Lance Freeman comes in for hair. Then there are the gowns…Fun.
