Laura Lock is the first actor to have her new headshot posted on the blog, congrats!

Laura often goes out for what she calls the “Wal-Mart/Home Depot Mom.” That’s the blue collar mother of three who has to do everything for the family herself. It’s easy to go with a cliche of the poor Wal Mart mother who’s not put together. But watch a few Wal Mart commercials, these women are smart, strong and dressed casually.

This is a more dramatic photo of Laura as the blue collar mom. Her eyes and pose are showing the strength to tell her kids to stop misbehaving while she still shows the vulnerability inherent in a woman who has had a lot thrust upon her. By steering away from the stereotype Laura can market herself as a “real Wal-Mart mom,” not the cookie cutter sketch impression of a Wal-Mart mom.
