So, earlier this week Valentine’s Day was celebrated. I say “it was celebrated” because I didn’t personally celebrate it myself. For one, my husband was out of town on that day. This was the first Valentine’s Day since we’ve been married, that we haven’t been together. Another reason is that we don’t necessarily celebrate it […]

Happy Black History Month! On February 1, 1960, four college students from North Carolina A&T State University helped change history by staging a sit-in at the Woolworth’s Department Store in Greensboro. As the sit-ins spread in popularity, eventually Woolworth’s and other stores desegregated their businesses and lunch counters. In celebration of the month, I will […]

The gift of photography is a very special gift. Some people think it’s just pictures but it’s so much more than that. Whether you take the pictures yourself or hire a professional, you are not just capturing someone’s likeness but a wonderful memory. When I was growing up, we used to have a Polaroid Instamatic […]

I must say, 2021 has been an interesting year. For me, it has been interesting in a good way. Despite the pandemic, I had a very good year, business wise. Surprisingly enough, people got out and allowed me to photograph them and it was a glorious thing. Having a virus floating around just waiting to […]

What a treat! The last session of the year for me was with not-so-little Kanuri who just had her tenth birthday last month. I have been photographing her since she was one. Actually, the first time I ever photographed her was when her mother was pregnant with her. At that time, I used to photograph […]

This past weekend I had the pleasure of photographing a book signing event for the fabulous photographers Kahran and Regis Bethencourt of CreativeSoul Photo. This event marks the release of their second book, The Me I Choose To Be.  This second book is a children’s book and the signing was held at Brave and Kind Bookshop […]

This year is just flying by! I can’t believe that it’s already October! What I can believe is that there are Christmas decorations in stores and we haven’t even had Halloween or Thanksgiving yet. Ugh! I don’t know about you but that really annoys me. Anyway, that is a topic for another day. Being that […]

First off, I hope you all had a fabulous Labor Day. I know I did. I wish I could say that I relaxed all day but that is not the case. Saturday I had a client, which is what this post is about and after that, I went to my best friend’s birthday cookout. One […]

As I have stated before, somewhere, even though I specialize in children’s portraits, I am a portrait photographer at my core. I love photographing people. I love the energy exchange during the session and the collaborative nature of them. Normally, when I do photograph adults, it is either for headshots/branding or of parents with their […]

So, what’s the big deal about having a specialty? Don’t all photographers know how to photograph any and everything? The short answer is yes but there’s much more to it than that. Most people who are looking for a photographer believe that even though there are only photos of babies and children on a website […]
