Engagement Photo Session can be a Fun Time
Darius and Kristi’s engagement session was a lot of fun. We did some of the traditional shots and then while they were sitting on the floor I suggested that they pretend to play pat-a-cake or something. Little did I know it would turn into 15 minutes of an actual pat-a-cake game and that Darius was good at it. It was a lot of good fun and good pictures.
Your photography session can be whatever you would like it to be and wherever you would like it to take place.
We look forward to capturing images of the two of you as you prepare for your big day.
We are located in Prince George’s County, MD and are available worldwide.
Photos Required: Children grow up so fast
Children grow up so fast! One minute you have a little baby and before you know it the little one is asking for car keys. Time won’t stand still but pictures can capture some of the moments.
Along the way we can snap pictures and can hold the memories.
Take lots of pictures of your little ones and from time to time have a professional capture those precious images.

Celebrations are great times for family portraits. Do it before the guests get there!
Family get-togethers and celebrations are excellent times for family portraits. Patricia’s family gathered in Maryland a few weeks ago to celebrate their matriarch’s 90th birthday.
An hour or so before the celebration began and before any guests arrived, the photo session took. Scheduling the session prior to the party allowed plenty of time for a good variety of images which would have been more difficult to capture during the party.
Having a good looking, friendly family also helped.
Happy 90th Birthday!
Having a party or special event? Schedule your photography as soon as possible.
Old pictures can be new treasures. Photography gems.
We all have pictures that we haven’t seen in years – wonderful pictures tucked away in boxes or plastic sleeves – out of sight – out of mind – aging.
The other day when I was looking for a new picture for my Face Book profile I came upon an old picture of me and some of my brothers and sisters. There are 8 of us and 5 of us are in the picture. The picture was not in the best condition but with the help of Photoshop it became almost new again. I like the way the photographer posed us and the old style clothes we were wearing.
I would encourage folks to take the time to go through boxes of pictures presently stored away and you might be surprised at what treasures you have.
Said he didn’t like taking pictures. First photo shoot.
Model: Eric A.
An unplanned photo shoot sometimes can turn out to be one of the best. I met and photographed Eric on the same day. He had accompanied a friend on a photo shoot. At first he said he was not interested in taking pictures Later I found him to be open and relaxed and he took some great pictures. I think he is going to pursue modeling.
Photography: Children being children
As a photographer I usually don’t try to pose children. Give them a minute and they will give you a pose much better than you could imagine. Just be ready.
Fred D. Gray outstanding minister as well as noted civil rights attorney
Minister and attorney Fred D. Gray
Ministers Graylon Freeman and Fred D. Gray
Last Saturday I had the opportunity to photograph noted civil rights attorney Fred D. Gray. He was in Washington, DC to attend the funeral of his sister Pearl Gray Daniels, a retired educator and member of the church where I attended for a number of years.
Well known for having been the attorney for Rosa Parks, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the Montgomery Bus Boycott, the Freedom Riders and more, Brother Gray is just as well-known by many in the Church of Christ as being an outstanding minister. He served as minister for the Holt Street Church of Christ in Montgomery, AL and other congregations at the same time he was making history as an attorney.
I am a photographer and when I learned that he was going to deliver the eulogy I made sure to bring a camera. I did not bring a flash or accessories as I was not sure if I would be able to take any pictures and I wanted to be discrete. After the service I asked him for permission to take his picture and he was very gracious. Next I took a picture of him and the minister – G. A. Freeman. Then to my total delight I was asked to take a picture of his family. I did so and it came out ok but I am still wishing I had taken my flash.
I will treasure this picture of Fred Gray and I hope that we are passing along to our children the history of outstanding contributions to both our country and our churches by people like minister and attorney Fred D. Gray.
