You've seen this guy before...

Parker brought mom and dad to my studio this time around for some family pictures. Of course, I had to get a few of him by himself as well. I did lots with black and white this time around, I am really into it right now. I'm also using my big mill windows for more and more shots. I think all of my favorites from this shoot have the windows.

Here is Parker-man...he's so cute!




Parker and dad, being boys together...


And the whole family together.

Drew and family at the Studio!

Recently, I got together with Drew and his family for a shoot at the studio. We had a great time! Mom is putting together a collage of different "parts" of Drew, which I think is an awesome idea, and one I am totally going to steal as a product to offer to clients. Here are a couple of my favorite "parts" of little man...





They brought along a little dachsund too. Poor guy only lasted for a few shots before we decided he was too freaked out for words, but he was cute!

Isaac at his Birthday Party

Isaac at his Birthday Party, originally uploaded by vadabostian.

We had a blast at Isaac's 7th Birthday party! It was at Lake Daniel Park near downtown Greensboro. I have known Issac for 2 years now. We met in that very same park when he and my daughter made friends. Now they go to the same school, ride the same bus, were in kindergarten together, and we are even thinking of arranging their marriage! Not really, but he is almost like a part of the family!

Cathleen at the Mill

I am still catching up... we did Cathleen's pictures at the mill and they came out wonderful! She was nervous at first but we had a blast and enjoyed ourselves tremendously.











You can see I had a hard time picking out my favorites!

My inspiration

I would like to take a moment to memorialize the man that first put a camera into my hands. My grandfather passed away last night. He was truly a great and wonderful man; a man that I have looked up to my entire life. He was a photographer, artist, writer, and father to four children. He knew loss and love and everything in between.

I am glad that he went peacefully and with dignity, on his own terms and in his own time.

He will be missed.

A bit behind...

Oh, I am WAY behind in my posting!

Last month I met up with Bethanne and her boys. This was a special shoot because it is for the NC Heart Gallery. For those that don't know, the Heart Gallery works with photographers and foster kids to find forever families. Bethanne is awesome because she has adopted not one, not two, but three gorgeous boys. We can all learn from her wonderful example. I used to promise myself that when I was established enough I would adopt a child. Well, Bethanne was a wonderful encouragement for me!
