I was truly honored when Trent Jackson asked me to be a part of his "Pop Life" project as a photographer. I must admit when I showed up on the set, I was extremely nervous. I've never experience anything like this before. But once I got all the guys makeup done, and got into action, things turned out great! I just feel so honored to be apart of this project, that I just don't know what to say or do! LOL.... I'm just one of those people (believe it or not) who is just very thankful for any & everything someone does for me. It can the smallest things, and I will let the world know. I'm happy someone saw my work, and believed in me enough to give me a chance to participate in their project, and help bring their vision to life.
Trent - Thank you soooo much for allowing me to be part of this project! Not too many people would have worked with a unknown (LOL) but, you trusted me and my craft, and for that I will be forever thankful! My heart is full of joy!!! You are the best!!!

congrats babe
Deonte,
Thank you very much for posting this and writing kind words. I will always remember the kid that grew into the adult that never had opportunities presented to him because I was different. I always had to create opportunities for myself.
In creating opportunities for myself, I always told myself to pull someone else up who may get overlooked because I know what that feels like.
You're very talented and you'll go far in life not only because of your creativity, but also because your attitude and heart are in the right place. That speaks volumes. You're very easy to work with and you're professional to the core.
You're very much appreciated! Here is to the best!
...Now you can hire that assitant you'll be needing come this summer.
Bombshell: Thanks soo much!! :)
Trent: Awwww ur welcome buddy, and thanks soooo much for all your kind words as well! :)
