6 looks from my headshot session. Or as I like to call it: “My Self-inflicted Torture Session” because after a stretch of staring at your own face trying to find the best photos, all objectivity is trampled into the ground. This montage is also a good example of why we women like our make-up.
Spent the 1st Sunday of 2014 getting new head shots. I may have driven the photographer and makeup artist nuts but now I’m armed with looks that range from some poor makeup-less wretch to a glamorous diva socialite. What better way to start the year than prepping for every conceivable character that might come your way, right? 
What’s my catchphrase? What makes me different from all the other 40 and beyond actresses out there right now? I was taking spin class with Be, a force of positive energy if there ever was one, and she had us visualize our best self. That’s when “Making 40 and beyond Fierce-some” popped into my brain while peddling and sweating like a madman.
Today is headshot day with James DePietro and I am so amped. I was ready to go at 7:30am, but I really should wash the sleep from my eyes first. I want to see “Fierce-some” in some of my photos–one that really defines me in my best self. I plan to ask my make-up artist to help capture the session with my iPhone…if I get a good shot, I’ll share it here and on the Danielle Rayne Fanpage.
Taking 2014 by storm!
What’s possible when it comes to our bodies? How much can we control over the way we’re built, what muscles we have (or lack)?
I signed up for a 60 day overall transformation at my gym. Upping my spin classes to 4-5 x a week and monitoring my diet by writing down every bite. It’s tedious but it’s also like a science experiment. If the numbers add up just right, can I alter years of muscle development? If I can be really disciplined and freaking brave, I may post the before and after pics right here.
The gauntlet is down.
It’s approaching 2014 here in Los Angeles. A lot of people are bashing 2013 but I think years are like people: there’s good and bad in all and you’re better off focusing on the good and turning a blind eye to the bad. 2013 brought me some great new acting credits and I’m really grateful to the people and opportunities that helped make it happen. 2013 was great~~and 2014 will be even better. For all of us, and especially for you. Happy 2014 (aka Year of the Horse)!
If you’re not living on the edge, you’re taking up too much space.
Why have I picked this quote as my return to WordPress? Because I’m in a place of upgrading with new photos scheduled for Jan. 5th as a start. Researching hair/make-up stylists, wardrobe choices, past successful photos, etc. Is this just ramping up for a New Year, for pilot season, or a commitment to take more chances and live on the edge in 2014? Only December of 2014 will know for sure.
Life’s a bitch. And sometimes, it’s just a game.
I’ve been a fan of Apple since 2002, when I made the switch from PC’s. Since then, my house has been full of Apple products. I started using iWeb for my daniellerayne.com website, being a control freak who wants to tweak to her heart’s content without annoying some highly-skilled web designer.
Now Apple is doing away with MobileMe and iWeb and I’m thrashing around for a Website for Dummies. And trying WordPress. And mad as hell at Apple.
Due to the outrageous cost of postage and the likelihood your 8x10 will be crumpled like a used kleenex upon arrival, only emailed (but signed per your request) autographed photos are available, Thanks for understanding.
