We shot our May/June cover in March at the Bramasole estate located in Washington, Utah. Val's husband, the darling Mark Imlay, had taken the day off so he could watch his high school sweetheart in front of the camera. Val was a natural...her stunning looks combined with vibrant smile inspired our photographer, Skyy McKendry, to shoot 499 pictures of Val that morning. For only two wardrobe changes, that's a lot of photos.
We even put Mark to work with us, holding reflectors and fanning his beauty. The smile in this shot of Val is as real as she was - she loved everyone. What a gift she has left us all!
