when i create a clipping mask the image disappears photoshop

[Shan Brazee]

Hello Everyone I am a deep dilemma. I need to create a clipping mask in photoshop CS6. I do it exactly as I am supposed to. The box shape (clip path) is set to no fill. the box shape layer (box shape clip path) is below the the photo image. I then click on the image and when I use the "create clipping mask" the whole image disappears. I am totally lost. Please please please help. Thank you in advance
