Typically, when potential clients call me for projects, I take that approach of “yes, I can do it “no matter what it is. Most recently, my yes, I can it has been to pet photography. Yikes! Tafari Stevenson-Howard pet photographer??? When I was approached by LaGaurd (exercise vests for dogs), I was reluctant to accept […]

Clearly I am getting old or maybe it is the fact that I am too far removed from pop music.  Since I stopped listening to popular radio I rarely know who all these young “singers/performers” are. My kids try to tell me but I have to tune it out. I cannot listen to their music. […]

The semester is almost over & I am reaching the end of my rope. Paper due every week. Huge group project. Online discussions. Blah blah blah. I’m tired but the good news is that I am maintaining an A in the class. My photography has had me on the go big time but this is […]

On a late summer night in NYC, I had one of the most horrific nights of my life! I was tired, hungry but I was looking pretty damn good as I made my way across the city. Yeah, I was looking good but something went totally wrong with my pimp boots.  My feet were not […]

Yesterday, I kicked off a busy weekend photographing University of Michigan student, rapper, blogger, retail entrepreneur and soon to be model Julian Edward Toles. And oh yea, he’s my baby cousin. Julian is a classic Stevenson (family name) because he is artistic & has so many interests that no one can keep up with him. […]

My new cards have arrived & I LOVE THEM. I’m passing them out to random people for shits & giggles since I have 1000 to spare…

Spring of 2009 I met Linda & Max Wolff when I photographed their surprise wedding. It was a such a fun event & I really enjoyed working with this great couple. At the time of wedding, Linda was about 3-4 months pregnant so she was a glowing for more than one reason. Fast forward to […]
