I was a little nervous about doing this but Masha was extremely helpful. Not only was she able to get me in for a session very quickly, the whole shoot was very easy and not nearly as intimidating as i was expecting. I'm a sweaty guy and standing under hot lights in a suit is not my idea of a great time. Thankfully, she got to work very quickly and before I could even break a sweat - it was done. She put a lot of thought into how best to present my image and I think it shows.
