Spirit of Christmas

This little guy was over today for his Christmas photo session. His facial expressions made my day :) He's all boy, full of energy and has the beginning love of sports. He liked the Christmas ornaments or from a toddler's perspective they were "balls". Thank you for having me capture his smiles. He's a cutie. I'm sure Santa Claus will enjoy delivering gifts to him as he is easy to please. 

Brothers

Lucas was ready to model and get this session finished. He was my little poser and set a wonderful example for his younger brother Connor. They get along well (as most siblings do) and were wonderful while getting their photographs taken. Patrick and Melissa thank you for having me come to your home and capture their handsome smiles and fun personalities. Have a Merry Christmas!

 Modeling is hard work, they needed a milk break. 

Ava Joy

Thank you Chad and Ashley for sharing Ava with us. She brings much love into our hearts. We enjoy her spunky independence and her "oh boy!" attitude.
We look forward to watching her grow into a little lady as she has some wonderful role models to follow. Enjoy your holidays <3

Nicole ~ senior

I met Nicole and her Mom in Astor Park at her Aunt's gorgeous vintage home.  Meeting people on location and photographing them in their comfort zone creates a unique and personable portrait. We can share a piece of ourselves through a visual story. Thank you for sharing your smile and inviting me into a small piece of your world.  Best wishes on your adventurous future. 

Antonio ~ senior

I met Antonio and his Mom at Pamperin Park for his senior session. 

It was very windy and I was thankful Antonio's hair was the perfect length for any weather.  

 Enjoy your senior year best wishes as you venture forward.

  Thank you for having me capture your senior session.

Kaluyatatsyes Rice John ~ senior

Kaluyatatsyes and her Mom invited me to the Oneida Quarry for her senior portraits. 

This location offered an abundance of textures and color, as did her personality. 

Her independence and attitude for life will carry her towards a successful future. 

Thank you for sharing your smiles with me.  I wish you a harmonious path. Enjoy. 

West High Homecoming 2015

Congratulations West High Football team!!! The students, band, dance team, football players and spectators were spot on for a fabulous evening of football. My "ugly" wool sweater kept me warm as the night went on and West's score rose above the dropping temperature. 

Thank you to the community of people who make West High School what it is. We are an inner city school with small town values. As a parent I see the staff and students take that extra step to help one another and I feel the family values at most events. The rewards of a smaller student population are immense. Thank you to those of you who take that extra step and lead with your heart.
