Ms. Arielle surprised us with a visit this week. She just finished an internship in the Mid West for State Farm, and will soon return to DC to start her 2nd year at Howard University. We felt honored that she found time to visit the studio on her short trip home. It seems like just yesterday we were creating her Senior & Cotillion Portraits. We are very proud of our Princess Arielle!

In need of an Executive Portrait?
We had a great time updating promotional portraits of our Singer/Actor client, Ryan. His hilarious personality made it difficult to hold the camera at times, but we did manage to complete the session. We are looking forward to watching his smile light up Broadway!

FOR MORE INFO GO TO: www.morehouse.edu/projectidentity
Project Identity is a federally funded program designed to stimulate interest in college attendance and the awareness of college entrance requirements for African-American and other minority males attending middle school. The Project aims to help to develop and sustain the capacity of middle schools to prepare these young boys for high school and post-secondary education. By providing a network of support, particularly for the adults who influence middle school students, specifically, their counselors and families, Project Identity strives to channel and direct more minority males to higher education. Project Identity will give special attention to boys from backgrounds and communities that historically have not encouraged large numbers to pursue, enroll and succeed in post-secondary education.
OUR VISION
The vision of Project Identity is to expose middle school male students to the best academic resources and cultural activities so that learning becomes a source of inspiration to not only pursue the college option but to do so with enthusiasm and vigor. By assisting both parents and school counselors, Project Identity will create a learning environment for participants that extends beyond the classroom.

'09 Positive Images Spokes Model has Flair for Design
When 09 Spokes Model, Andrew Wilson, asked me to photograph some of his jewelry designs, I was more than happy to help. I just was not prepared for the incredible pieces he began to pull out of his velvet bags.
This young man has incredible vision and design flair. He works with natural stones, silver, & macrame to create stunning bracelets, necklaces & belts.
When I asked him about his jewelry designing background, he shared this with me:
"I started designing jewelry my freshman year in high school while attending Southwestern Academy in Beaver Creek, AZ. It turned more into a hobby for a couple of years, but then I discovered silver. I leaned how to wrap wire and create chain and paired this with macrame and string work to find my own style."
His Positive Images Family wishes him well as he prepares his portfolio for design school applications...We expect big things to come from our Positive Images '09 Spokes Model, Andrew Wilson.
If you have questions about acquiring one of his designs, you can find him on Facebook.
