'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.

African American Education Summit at Cal State East Bay in Hayward

African American Ed. Summit at Hayward

Information and a great many resources will be on hand for participants of the African American Education Summit.
The African American Education Summit, bringing together a wide range of community resources and expertise to empower African American youth and their families, will be held on Saturday, Feb. 21 from 8:45 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on the Hayward campus of California State University, East Bay, 25800 Carlos Bee Blvd. Check-in and registration begin at 8 a.m.

Admission to the summit is free and the public is invited. The summit, which will begin in the University Gymnasium, is co-sponsored by Cal State East Bay and the Alameda County Office of Education. Reservations are requested and can be made online at www.csueastbay.edu/AAEducationSummit.

"It is designed to engage and motivate African American youth and their families to pursue and live the dream of obtaining a college education by providing information and resources in a festive, family-friendly environment," said Greg Smith, CSUEB's associate vice president for planning and enrollment management, who chairs the event.

Those encouraged to attend include parents and families, high school and junior high school students, school administrators, teachers, counselors and business and community leaders. On-the-Spot-Admission to Cal State East Bay will be available for eligible high school seniors who have already submitted an application through the CSU Mentor Web site (www.csumentor.com) and provided transcripts by Feb. 9.

The summit will feature distinguished speakers, information sessions and an educational resource fair. Alameda County Supervisor Keith Carson will deliver the keynote address.

Topics to be covered in the workshops and panels include student life experiences on campus; college admissions; and financing a college education through grants, scholarships and financial aid.

The African American Education Summit will be the second community education conference held on the Cal State East Bay campus within a month. The university hosted the Latino Education Summit on Jan. 24.

"We're encouraging entire families to participate and learn about college admissions, financial aid, scholarships, and of course, our campuses and programs in particular," said Cal State East Bay President Mo Qayoumi. "As a state university, we realize that we have a responsibility-and an opportunity-to help meet the needs of our region, ranging from employment and work force preparation to education, economic opportunity and multicultural inclusion."

A light continental breakfast will be provided, and parking on the Cal State East Bay campus will be free.

Additional information about the African American Education Summit is available at www.csueastbay.edu/AAEducationSummit or by calling (510) 885-2770.

The Wedding Style of Gisele...

It is Gisele's intent to capture your wedding day in a series of storytelling portraits that document all the romance and emotion of your special day. To accomplish this, Gisele blends a combination of traditional color portraits with a black & white photojournalism style. Captured by two professional Photographers, like Russell Foote and Stephen DeVaughn. The resulting images allow a custom story-telling album to be designed with more depth and texture than coverage from the perspective of one camera. Gisele believes that every bride & groom is unique and individual. Therefore, her philosophy is that wedding portraits should be designed to fit you and you loved one. Gisele does not attempt to push prospective clients into a preconceived type of coverage. Because while the basic framework of her Heirloom Wedding Portrait Service is there as a foundation, the actual details of coverage for your wedding will be tailored to your individual style, through the consultation design process

If you select Positive Images to create your Wedding Portraits, Gisele will invest the necessary time to establish a relationship with you prior to your wedding. Therefore, on wedding day, Gisele is very clear on your wishes, which will allow you to trust her skill & judgment. And when you do, the results are a blend of natural and beautiful images of your love that you will love and that will last you a lifetime.

The Love Story Session

Gisele believes that the Future bride & groom are definitely a work of art. Every couple in love has a beautiful story to tell. Therefore, the Love Story Session we provide becomes an opportunity to capture what your love looks like in an artistic way.

In addition to creating beautiful romantic images, the Love Story Session has a very important extra benefit: it gives Gisele the opportunity to observe how you interact with your better half. She begins to see how your body shapes fit together, and begins to teach you about positioning. By the end of the Love Story Session, you will both have a clear idea of how Gisele works and communicates while creating portraits. The process results in the three of you being in sync come wedding day, giving you one less marital day worry. Plus, you get the opportunity to have one of your favorite Love Story portraits at your reception.

And as the summer approaches, our wedding Season is approaching as well. Whether it’s a local wedding or out of town, Gisele is ready. When clients hire Gisele to be their Wedding Photographer, clients are hiring a dependable and skilled Photographer. Gisele will spend her entire day capturing those important and very special moments. Here is a sample of one of our most recent wedding, which was an out of Town wedding in Yorba Linda.

Gisele is a firm believer in the importance of capturing every moment of her client’s special day.
