Patrick Amara is a fashion and physique model. Pictures were taken a few hours before he flew off to the west coast to enjoy his birthday and the Christmas holidays. More of his work can be seen on Instagram.
After shooting several sessions outdoors we went into a residence hall near the University of Maryland in College Park. I wanted to take advantage of the shadows in the room and the mood they provided.

Last Saturday I was asked to photograph a ladies event at church. I took advantage of the opportunity to make portraits of some of the attendees.
When I asked my dear Sister McElveen if I could take her picture, she jokingly said she was afraid that she might break my camera. Well, you can see that she came far from breaking the camera and instead gave me some of my favorite images of the day. The images capture her grace and elegance.
Her daughters were also there so of course I asked to take their pictures. I took pictures of each alone with her and then took a picture of the three of them together. I think that it is important to have a picture alone with each of your parents and I always do that during family portraits.
These are images that the family can treasure for years.

This is from our 3rd photo shoot. Due to busy schedules it is difficult to find time to shoot. When time does permit we are both pleased with the results.
The first image was taken in existing light.
We believe that one should not settle for digital images. Make beautiful images and print them large. Then pick big beautiful frames to show them off. Put them on your wall where all can see or gift them for friends.
The decision to record history with family photography is a powerful and beautiful way to cherish the present and remember the past. A photograph is a timeless asset that grows in meaning and value as time passes by. David Phillips
We invite everyone – families and individuals – to schedule a time to have beautiful pictures taken. Don’t be like others who put it off until some time in the future.
