It’s been a super crazy month full of weddings and photoshoots for me, but I wanted to get back to my series of behind the scenes photos from the Olympic Media Summit I photographed for USA Today and US Presswire back in May. \u00a0The next athlete in\u00a0the\u00a0series is Team USA Soccer star Alex Morgan.<\/p>\n

I didn’t know what to expect when Alex walked in as I knew she had some modeling experience and even posed in body paint in\u00a0the\u00a0last SI Swimsuit issue. I guess I expected the worse that she would be hard to deal with and just go through the motions, but I was pleasantly surprised!\u00a0(In fact, when she walked in, I jokingly asked her “what, no\u00a0body paint today?” \u00a0She laughed and told me only if I had an extra 12 hours to spare.)<\/p>\n

Alex was a lot of fun, very charming, and looked great in front of the camera! \u00a0Even though I could tell that she was tired from a long day of interviews and photoshoots, she \u00a0did everything I asked of her and the photos came out fabulous!<\/p>\n

Thanks again to Darryl Briggs for the behind the scenes photos…Here are a few…<\/p>\n

My retoucher Jennifer and I worked on a few “signature prints” like the first one here.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Several national articles ran my photos of Alex, but here is one from USA Today…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Alex pulled off both the fun shots as well as serious…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And showing her the cool results!<\/p>\n

If you were a fly on\u00a0the\u00a0wall…(Way too much gel in my hair that day, but that’s what happens when I only get 2 hours sleep!) =)\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

LOVE this one!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After the shoot. \u00a0Yes, another\u00a0embarrassing\u00a0posing shot of me.(I could fill a whole book of\u00a0the\u00a0shots that my assistants and second shooters have of me this way!)\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Once again, Alex was a pleasure to work with and I am wishing her and her teammates the best of luck in London!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
