Published: Eco-Beautiful Weddings Magazine

So I begin this year being published in several magazines and newspapers. I am utterly proud of every little picture that makes it into any publication.. all photographers are.  When I am called to shoot for a magazine and the pictures are thereafter published, I'm simply thrilled.. No wait.. I'm ecstatic.

Earlier this winter Katie called and asked if I'd be interested in shooting again for her Eco-Beautiful Wedding Magazine. "Heck Yes!!" is what she hears me say every time. If you recall, last year I shot the Spring 2010 cover for the magazine.   I'm so proud of her and her magazine, I'm always willing to help. This time, I shot the for the "Green Inspiration" article and the "Stress Relieving Yoga" article.   It was my idea to perch Miss Yoga as I call her, Takeyah Young of Core Connections on top of a log and take her picture all relaxed looking.. the joke was, she really was quite relaxed and Robin and I laughed so hard at how easy she made it appear.

Check out the entire issue on-line here!

Published: Uptown Magazine

What a great honor to be chosen to capture such a great event.  Jack and Jill of America, Incorporated   installed the "New" National Harbor Chapter of Jack and Jill, Incorporated in Prince Georges County, Maryland.  It was a cold and rainy day but nothing would dampen the mood of these lovely ladies taking part in Jack and Jill history.  It s a really big deal to start a new chapter of Jack and Jill and no small feat.  With no shortage of time, sweat, dedication and hard work these lovely ladies pulled it off and made it look like a walk in the park.
As one member put it. "This is what happens when you put together a group of mothers who's capacities include entrepreneurs, business professionals, stay-at-home mothers, educators,  attorneys, engineers and faith-based leaders with the belief that we can make a difference in the lives of children and families."

Click here to see the slideshow of the event.

Uptown magazine published a few of my photos from the day!  You can see them on the "Clique"  Washington, D.C. page. 




What a wonderful sight!
