Great Wall of Tera
My recent visit to Maui reconnected me with one of my oldest and best girlfriends Lisa Boyle. I first met Lisa in 2003. I was starting out on my own in 2003 and determined to rebrand myself and start fresh. My adult film company Teravision was just about to start filming its first production and my website was now under my full control. Right away I loved Lisa. She’s an Iconic model and actress in her own right http://lisaboyle.tumblr.com Her personality made the long shoot days fly by and so fun. “Get up on this table! Hike this hill (in Jimmy Choo heels) here’s a cigarette, lets paint you in glitter then dunk you in the ocean ” she was super creative but also knew she had to get those critical “pink” shots so desired by all the Porn film companies, and fans. Lisa Boyle has probably shot a good fifty percent of my website and many many editorial pieces and fashion spreads for me. When I had my daughter in 2012 Lisa came over and shot newborn Sophia and I together. I cherish those photos so much. One month after giving birth I agreed to shoot with Lisa again, she was going to publish a cool photo book compiling all of her work . I’ve never really been self conscious of the many phases my body has gone through. In 2012 as I am here yes, a month after giving birth I’m still a bit “swollen” if you will but I love seeing myself here. I was blissfully happy even shooting while I was pregnant. Pregnancy was good to me and it remains one of the most incredible periods of my life :} This Tera Wall was Lisa’s idea. I think I took her into my storage closet to show her GOD only knows what, and she saw my “supplies”. Stacks upon stacks of 8×10’s, posters, cards etc.. and she said “yes iI have an idea!! Her and Lindsay Hancock (bomb ass make- up artist and model who I LOVE) “built” the Tera Wall. It’s kinda cool to see a lot of your work on a wall. All these different phases I went though with my hair, make-up, body. I’m hoping to pull the pics Lisa and I took that day, they were on a Macbook that I hope and pray isn’t forever lost Both are gone and had more than thirty thousand images on them :{ If I EVER do recover them they are going on terapatrick.com first!! Such a fun memory of shooting enJOY XO Tera
