Wishing Kristina an extraordinary 40th Birthday celebration!!!

Kristina has been a remarkable friend and pillar of support from the very beginning. She's 40 and fire this year and to commemorate it we captured it on camera. 📸

💄 Make up: Beyond the Brush

My daughter looked stunning tonight, and her friend was dressed to impress as they headed out to their semi-formal.

And the best part? She called to tell us she earned the “Best Dressed” Oscar for their Night at the Oscars theme. ❄️ Proud is an understatement. Talk about a Glow Up! 😎🤩

Also a shout out to IslandLashea Ball for the amazing butterfly mural backdrop at Library Park!

Absolutely beautiful make up by Karolyn Williams ✨

I love being able to catch these moments for my daughter and her boyfriend. I hope they had a great time at their Fall Ball! 🍁 🍂

A very few of my favorite shots of Community Night at Beaver Falls game Vs. Western Beaver. A little bit of all aspects of the game!

If you’re part of band/cheer you know where to find these pictures. 😎

Beaver Falls Homecoming 2025!

Of course I’m going to give my sassy daughter the paparazzi treatment! 🤩😎📸✨

Tomboy to Rockstar!!!

Love you Boo! 🥰

So I haven’t shared what’s going on for a while. I have accepted a temporary job at Lincoln Park Performing Arts Charter School working as their photography instructor.

I have to say I really love it. There is just something about seeing the kids grow daily in an art form that bridges over many aspects. From the principles of photography, digital photography, yearbook photography, and even the fine art of film (dark room). Not only does it challenge them, but it has also challenged me to take a step back and really break down my own process from the most simplistic form.

I look forward to going to school to see these kids excelling at something that excites them! I look forward to even seeing their failures knowing that this is par for the course. They learn and they come back better. It’s so cool to see that.

Anyways, I wanted to share a couple really cool photos I took. This type of photography is called Solargraphy (Long exposure capturing the Sun’s ecliptic). It’s literally the most basic form of a camera. You need three things to capture a picture…Light, Aperture, and a Photosensitive medium. I made these photos using a pop can. 😎

Ginger Gardens is making her way around sharing what she loves! An amazing person, and has the most beautiful home grown arrangements! Not to mention a super nice portrait there 😎
