I've been wanting to do Effie's portrait for a long time. She has a personality much bigger than her ... we'll go ahead say 5'4" (163 cm) frame ... and an even bigger heart. So when she called and asked about having a session I said "hell yeah." Or something like that.
She was worried about looking like a "granny." She's of an age with Madonna (not exactly, but close enough), and frankly looks a helluva lot better to me.
More of Effie is of course at my Facebook page.
