Sometimes I get side-tracked from posting photos that I have every intention of doing in a timely manner, and these Thanksgiving images fall into that category. It was such a blessing this year to spend Thanksgiving in town as opposed to traveling out of town. Here are select family moments from Thanksgiving.
Yesterday, I had the opportunity to celebrate my cousin’s 1st birthday with family. I remember capturing Amerie back in January or February when she was a newborn. It is hard to believe that she is a year old… Where did the time go???? Anyway, here are select images from our family celebration.
Last month, one of my cousins celebrated his birthday and graduation from Bowie State University. Here are select images from this family gathering.
I don’t know if it started with my parents always playing Earth Wind and Fire albums, or the fact that my mom was in the choir, and I followed in her footsteps… Maybe it was because I wanted to be a singerstar, like Whitney Houston. Whatever the case, I LOVE great music, great lyrics, great vocals, and great composition! There are a few independent artists that I absolutely love, and this young lady is definitely doing her thing! This was the first time that I was actually able to see Leah Smith in concert live, but she definitely was consistent at showing off her fluid vocal talent! I cannot wait to start hearing her music on the radio because she actually sings about life. You know how a lot of the mainstream stuff out there is either about “I’m in love” or “I am heart-broken” as if there is nothing more to life than the ups and downs of relationships? Well, this young lady sings about other aspects of life, like JOY – you know the kind that the world didn’t give and the world can’t take away! Then she sings about the need to grow up and then moving forward. Y’all, support this talented artist! Her EP is available on iTunes, and you won’t be disappointed! It is so refreshing to see that there are still artists out there with content and standards and true talent! I have included pictures below I took from her concert yesterday in Silver Springs, MD.
A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of capturing our Maryland couple as they said “I do!” It was such a beautiful, drama-free, overflowing-with-love kind of wedding! Congratulations Carlos and Kimberly! I am wishing you both “a couple of forevers” and ever and ever!!!!! Below are select photos from this wedding. In addition, a video slideshow with music can be seen here.

Enjoy!
Over the years, my biggest fan has always been my mom! Even when my work was subpar, she was still there cheering me on, buying multiple copies of my work, etc. Now, I have the pleasure of being her cheerleading squad!!!! This past weekend, I saw my momperform in her second dance recital. WoW!!!! I was absolutely astonished that she was not only in twice as many routines as last year, but that she did some rolls on the ground and got her leg up… She was doing some of the same moves that the teens and twentysomethings were doing! In my amazement, I am reminded that often times, we put ages on activities, and we limit people’s abilities. However, where there is a will, there is a way! If you put your mind to doing it, you can achieve it… just know that there may be some sweat that goes along with the success. Well, my mother showed out in her recital last weekend, and I was so very proud of her! As a matter of fact, our entire family was so very proud of mom!!!!! Here is a quick snapshot for this past weekend.
On Saturday, I had the pleasure of capturing a beautiful Maryland couple as they tied the knot! There were so many wonderful moments to be captured, so here is a sneak peek of some of my favorite shots!
