Last Sunday, was the day that I had that photo session where I whispered all the way through because I had no voice. The session was with DiShawna Marks, a Detroit high school senior for her senior portraits. Aside from my voice issues, the day was perfect! The sun was out but not too bright […]

I met Megan Pouncy thanks to a great referral from friend & client Amber Cabral a few months ago.

I was in the media riser photographing the Tracy Reese runway show at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week when I spotted Brooklyn based singer “Raye6” in the audience. From her serious pompadour, you can imagine that she was not easy to miss. After the show, I quickly packed my camera so that I could get a […]

Last week, while on vacay in NYC I had the awesome opportunity to photograph Janella. What made it awesome was that she’s a great person & it was her birthday, working on the Brooklyn Bridge & then getting a mini tour of Brooklyn during the course of the shoot. I told Suite Suzy that working […]

I’ve known Keturah aKa Dr. Jeffries since my high school days. If you know me then you know that it’s been a long time. A LONG time. Now that I’ve dated myself….. Photographing Keturah and Ray was a pleasure as we made our way around the Cranbook House & Gardens laughing while trying to keep […]

So, I’m walking down Broadway in SoHo minding my own business when I happened to look up to see this beautiful cocoa brown woman walking my way. I basically jumped in front of her & asked to photograph her. Her hair was great, her skin was great, her make up was like totally perfect; almost […]
