Dudley Woman's Club Fashion Show

It was my pleasure to meet some wonderful people at this event. I was asked to photograph the DWC's 4th annual Fashion Show at Point Breeze Restaurant.
The DWC was founded in 2008 and are dedicated to making a difference in the community. They are committed to the community with services and projects. They award college scholarships to one student each from Shepard Hill Regional High School and Bay Path Vocational High School. Along with one adult woman continuing her education. This is just one example of many positive contributions by the DWC.

This beautiful center piece was made by a member of the DWC and was given away during the fashion show by playing "hot potato" That was fun !

The wonderful group of woman that make it happen !

Some of the 15+ vendors that had many great products 

 Remarkably Buttons - what a brilliant idea ! Recycling old buttons into fun jewelry ! Of course I purchased a super cute red button bracelet !

 "Scentsy" Another fav of mine !

 There was even a station for hair extension ! What fun !

Just a couple of the fun, energetic volunteers that modeled the clothes from Marshall's

This event was a lot of fun. Watch for next years event date. This is surely an event that you don't want to miss. Not only are you contributing to a great cause, you will be supporting local businesses, enjoy a great lunch from Point Breeze and certainly have a lot of laughs ! 

Family F

Can't think of a better way to kick off a great weekend, then to have a session with this beautiful family. Hard to believe I've known Mrs. F since we were in kindergarten, grew up together, graduated from HS and continue to be living only 500 feet away from each other. A bit odd to realize that we have our own families now to raise, yet some how still feel so young ! Time sure does fly !
I hope you enjoy your preview - it was great to have you at the studio !!!

Amazing Ms A

This was a fun session ! I love the energy that comes along with a dancer and this was no exception. Ms A is a talented and beautiful dancer ! I know she will be very successful in all that she does, her confidence is abundant and she has the heart of a dancer !
Enjoy your preview.

Valentine Cutie ~

I love red, I love Valentine's Day and I love . . .well, love. The way it overtakes you, even if you try to deny it, how it sneaks up on you and pulls you in. It's an amazing force ~ love. This little cutie will be breaking hearts for years to come. 

Canty Dance Centre 8th Annual Winter Showcase

Once again I had the privilege to attend a CDC event, this event was Winter Showcase. The half year version of Recital. I would like to say that covering Showcase had the same affect on me as last years June recital did. The overwhelming amount of spirit, commitment, talent and desire was present. 

Not only are these events full of creativity, fun and talent, they are filled with the warmth of a Sunday family dinner at your gram's house. Each and every member of CDC elude love and commitment ! Commitment from the dancers, teachers, parents, families, friends and of course Ms. Erin. 

Being the mom of 3 young children, a loving wife and the owner of CDC, she amazes me at all that she accomplishes ! She is always right there to help with any problem that arises and she does it with a smile. It is clear to me that CDC holds many of Ms Erin's values and it shows each time the CDC dancers get on stage. Full of smiles and enthusiasm ! 

Even though mother nature decided to give us some snow for our Winter Showcase, kind of fitting? The show went off with out a hitch and was an afternoon filled with many creative, high energy, dance routines.

Enjoy ! 

 

Valentine Sweetie

I hold this little man dear to my heart. He is a bundle of laughs and joy. No one would know this little man was fighting a stomach bug this day. It's hard to believe he is already 5 months old - yet at the same time it feels as if he has been here forever. It makes me so happy to photograph each step of this little man's journey.
Auntie loves you peanut.

7 kids

I love when my special clients book a session, and the images will be used as a gift. It's even nicer to have them contact me and ask me to put them on my blog !  This was a very special Christmas gift session. Grama had bought all of the kids their Christmas pj's (as she does each year) but this year she was going to get a picture of them all together ! This group ranged  from 7wks to 5 and a half years old. I knew this would be a challenge, but I also knew if I could just let them be "kids" and be themselves, everything else would fall into place. There were many different personalities that morning, but one common denominator - they adored each other !
It was so refreshing to have all these little ones, along with their moms all gathered in a room together, chatting and laughing and just having fun ! It was a great way to spend a Saturday morning.
