Photographer extraordinaire and all-around great guy (my DH) Craig helps me with therapeutic and social projects, such as our Beautiful Women project. He shot most of the beautiful professional-quality photos on this site.
Craig Blank’s gorgeous portfolio can be seen at CraigBlankPhoto.com — I particularly love his “Faces” pages and he does amazing portraits, headshots, and of course spectacular product and architectural work.
All around nice guy, his work is truly amazing, affordable, and he’s super fun to work with.
