New prop

I was finally able to photograph my new prop today! A beautiful couch that Sarah found on Craigslist. I purchased it from a young fellow who was surprised at my elation to find such a great pattern and color. Apparently the couch had been in his family for 65 years, and naturally no one knew what to do with it given it's pallette . But lucky for me it is in great condition because Grandma kept the plastic on it and because says the young fellow "no one was allowed to sit on it". So the next time you go poking fun at someone for having plastic on their couch , you just think again!
Thanks to beautiful little Leah for making this shot so great. Once again I am honored that Mommy Julie, flys Leah all the way here from California for me to photograph her:)

YWCA Fabulous Females

I had the pleasure again this year of photographing the recipients of the YWCA Fabulous Females. True to form the ladies are simply a joy to have in the studio. Each with their own community projects and involvement have affected so many lives in a positive way.
I first met Peggy as a representative of Leadership Genesee and of course we all know her from her involvement in community theater. Carol was a familiar face because she has volunteered for the Crossroads House for 18 years. And Donna currently works for P.W. Minor, and chairs the Diabetes walk. All of these ladies do much more volunteer work than we all realize and with such grace and modesty. They are truly an inspiration.
