I may have told you this previously, but sometimes when people find out that I photograph children they usually say something like, “Bless your heart” or “You must have a lot of patience” or “I could never do that.” Well, yes, I do have a lot of patience but I also enjoy photographing children. With […]

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 […]

So, my previous blog was about dad and me portraits. I just love photographing fathers and their children. They just have a soft spot in my heart. Well, since I wrote about dads, I figured I should also write about moms. Mom and me portraits are a lovely way to capture the relationship with your […]

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.

Happy New Year! Woohoo! Another year down and many to go! I don’t know about you but last year was actually a pretty good year for my business. There were some low points definitely but I, like everyone else, has to work through them. We can pause and take note but we must keep going […]

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 […]

Wow…this year has really flown by. Why does yesterday feel like it was just summer? I think when you get older, time seems to move much faster. Where one year feels like an eternity to my 16-year-old son, it’s a blink of an eye to me. At any rate, this year I decided to do […]
