You may remember a recent sneak peek post… Well, I had a chance a few weeks ago to photograph an singer, evangelist, and entrepreneur in Fort Washington, MD. Select images from this dynamic session are posted below!

Doin’ Hair
Back in the day… ok, it was not that long ago – just after my undergraduate experience - but back then, I wanted to “do hair” as my profession. Perhaps I was motivated to do so after creating a retailing plan for an upscale salon and spa in the Atlanta area in a Marketing class, or perhaps it was because I loved creating exotic hairstyles for myself and my friends. It could have even been because I decided to start growing my relaxer out, and I really had to “do” my hair on a regular basis. Whatever the case, I wanted to pursue a cosmetology degree, so I started researching hair schools in the Atlanta area. When I saw Empire Beauty School’s $18,000 tuition, I started re-evaluating my new career aspirations, especially since I had student loans of about that much that I needed to pay off. Needless to say, I never did move in the direction of hair school, but recently I have been blessed with opportunities to work with hair stylists, like the one I photographed in Delaware last week.

Taking on Washington!
Through my studies at Howard University, I was afforded the opportunity of meeting a young California man with focus and determination who has set his sights on education and the creation of policies surrounding that. Recently, he commissioned me to take photographs of him for his portfolio, so we chose the Capital area as our venue. Besides similar majors, we both shared a lack of understanding concerning the fact that it was snowing in DC at the end of the month of March (Sunday morning it snowed). Really, it’s supposed to be warm already! Anyway, the cold weather actually worked in our favor to (1) allow for less harsh sunlight, less shadows, etc, and (2) encourage people to stay home (meaning less people that I had to dodge in the photos). All in all, the images came out beautifully from this session, and I learned a DC secret in the process: The best time to shoot at the historic sites in DC is when a building is closed in the morning, like Sunday mornings.
I have included select images from this session below, and if you see something you like, please leave a comment below! I’d love to hear from you!
All About the HAIR!
One of the many things I love about what I do is the diversity of projects that I take on. One day, I may be photographing a family portrait session, the next day, I may cover an awards ceremony, and then next project may be a fashion shoot! It constantly has me thinking on my toes, looking for the best shots to capture the essence of the moment or the personalities. Earlier this week, I had the opportunity to do a photography session for a lace-front wig manufacturing company, based in Maryland – Hair Works International. The session was all about the hair with fans blowing and plenty of whipping (this is a reference to my last post). The resulting images were some of my best work to date! The goal was to not simply sell hair, but to sell a lifestyle and an experience. I will let you all be the judge for how successful I was! Select images from this session are included below.
