Lifestyle: The Insanely Talented, Taylor

I would like to introduce you to my insanely talented Brother-in-law, Taylor.

When Taylor was 15 years old I remember being in awe of him. At that age he was teaching himself Korean and was already composing his own music. Fast forward 6 years; Taylor is graduating from Full Sail University, and about to embark on a journey of a lifetime. Taylor’s passion is music… all types, all genres, you name it and he can play it.  I’d like to believe the stork dropped him off sporting an American flag bandana with a guitar in one hand and a sign “will play for milk” in the other.  Alas that is the imagination run rampant. The truth is, Taylor is an avid musician; demonstrating not only skill on the guitar but bass, piano, and drums as well. 

I’ve been dying to take pictures of Taylor in his element but every time we are together family fun takes precedent. Well, this past Easter in-between family time we decided to play with my camera. We did some edgy stuff but of course my favorites are these first All-American Boy shots.

Taylor has been my favorite model thus far (I might be a bit bias) to work with and shined under the lens as much as he shines on stage, in the studio, and in every other venture he attempts.  It seemed to be his natural element and I got the distinct honor of being the first to shoot this force in music before he starts getting calls from the likes of Rolling Stone.

Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome to the stage, Taylor

Lifestyle: Daddy's Girl, Ariana

Since I’ve started this small venture, I’ve had the pleasure of shooting some of the most gorgeous children in the state of Virginia and my most recent model is no exception!

 Just like every mother believes, I too believe my son is the most handsome, most special little person ever.  He is my inspiration; hence the moniker of my photographic adventures.  So for me to update the photo associated with the JFP facebook account says a lot!  I would like to introduce you to the fabulous Arianna.  She has the manners, grace, and poise to match her wit and beauty.  Her spunk, tenacity, and shining personality are enough to rival any Disney/Nickelodeon kid  and gracing magazines like Babiekins Magazine.

 We had such a blast at our rendezvous this weekend and unlike most children (mine included), she did not breakdown or lose interest after 30 minutes of shooting.  Ari was the consummate professional and a true pleasure to spend a wonderful afternoon with.

                For this shoot Ari’s mother and I talked about doing a special photo for father’s day by incorporating small personal touches for Ari’s dad; I think we nailed it!  Not only did those photos come out perfect but we were able to let our hair down, have some fun, and capture her lighthearted personality and exquisite beauty.  Thank you for allowing me the pleasure of spending a gorgeous Sunday afternoon with you….

 Without further ado here is the stunning...   ARIANNA
