I love to shoot Darlena. It has always been so easy. The pictures take themselves. She is just so damn photogenic... I hate that. Me, I look like a Picasso painting when I have my photograph taken, but the camera just adores her.

Here is a selection of shots from the last few months. More to come but these are a few that we loved from a few days not in Los Angeles.

About Darlena: Born and raised in Hoboken, New Jersey, Darlena studied at City University Of New York, The Lee Strasberg Institute and she's a lifetime member of the The Actor Studio.

Her acting career began on the small screen with the contract role of "Anita Santos" on All My Children. From there her work included Crossing Jordan, NYPD Blue, Nip/ Tuck, Las Vegas, Medium, Ugly Betty, Bones, Criminal Minds, Strong Medicine, Soccer Moms (pilot), How I Met Your Mother, Trauma, and more.

Our co-founder's film credits include Starsky & Hutch, the German comedy 100 Pro, I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry and most recently Star Trek under the direction of J.J. Abrams. Check out a few clips here!

Darlena, together with co-founder Aaron Stipkovich, brings her vision and perspective to the AND publications as the definitive "target audience" for the publication. Her demure charm and innate intelligence of humanity are the cornerstones of AND Magazine.

She, too, enjoys coffee. Real coffee. Not the watered down stuff.
