Diana Ashmore

Author’s note: This is the same model who appears on the covers, but this is a more worldly picture. I don’t see the vulnerability in this photo that I have seen in most of the other pictures in her portfolio. I chose this picture to represent Diana because she and Laura look alike, but they are so different in personality.
