A little personal project that I have been working on. Check out how dirty Philadelphia can be. Who cares? Who wants to help?

Walking north on 46th street to the Market-Frankford Line, you will see trash everywhere. Potato chip bags, tires, soda bottles, condom wrappers, liquor bottles, pieces of paper. It poses the question "Who cares?"

Where is the pride that Philadelphia citizens have in their city? I sure don't see it. How can someone throw trash on the ground without caring? This is not the only spot in Philadelphia that is like this.

There is a Philly Spring Clean Up that takes place on April 13th. Why is there only one day? Why is it so bad that at the clean up last year they collected 1,000,940 POUNDS of trash?

Check out the details for April 13th if you are interested:

Or inbox me sometime to chat if you care :)

I am so excited that I finally have a chance to sit down and start to edit The Aponic Blue show at the Trocadero!!! Nicole, Kyle, Tommy and Nate were a pleasure to listen to and the audience LOVED them! I was so happy Kyle asked me to take their pictures!

Here is a sneak preview!

My beautiful Aunt needed a headshot for her new business cards, so of course I said yes!! She did some modeling back in the days when poofy hair was cool. Aunt Karen was a little nervous at first, but she got back into the swing of things in no time!

Getting a lot done today! My new CD labeling system is all hooked up, practicing with my new backdrops and finishing up my price lists for headshots!

Also, I'm very excited to take pictures and hear an old friend play at the Trocadero on Saturday! There are still tickets available if anyone wants to come see The Aponic Blue!!

Now that Christmas is over, I can finally post some fabulous sessions that were surprises! Here is just a sneak preview of The Moon Siblings. The way that they interacted with each other had me cracking up for most of the session. What a fun group!

Portraits make great birthday presents, anniversary presents or even for just a surprise! Inbox me or email me at [email protected] for more details if you want to do something special for a loved one!
