Weekly Portrait of A Natural Beauty – Jennifer Saul

I will never forget the first time I met Jennifer. It was through a mutual friend on a sunny day in Venice. Long flowing red hair and a smile that was contagious. Little did I know that she would become the visionary to all I hoped to accomplish. They say behind every good man is a woman, well in this case it happened to be a good woman behind a good woman. She has made my dream possible and this website what it is today. Always inspiring and a true friend. I hope one day you all will get to know her.
