"He sends me the picture and says “oh ancient one”…
Most of my life I have been called an old soul… and I would shy away, embarrassed I wasn’t like most my age. Wanting to belong and not be different. Then came the confusion and feeling unsure of where I belonged, always feeling uncertain and treading lightly. Those near and dear to me have described me as “Riddled with anxiety”. Throughout the years, I continue to challenge the script that had been given to me by others and I have been claiming the me that I am. Embracing the wisdom my ancestors have given me, feeling blessed every day for those that have spiritually and physically held me and proud of myself for accepting it… with their support and guidance along with my willingness all these years… I have learned to accept them and me. My dedication and hope is that I continue to do the necessary work to continue to give back and empower others to do the same.

During our photoshoot at The Graduate Providence, Libby Griffin accepted a rose from a delivery man who was catering to an event in the ballroom and as a random act of kindness for our shoot looking so cool, presented her with a white rose. Libby is also a fan of The Bachelorette which will make her friends raise an eyebrow at lunch.

https://fb.me/e/5wB2ee3QW The Graduate Series of portraits of Cool Cats in Providence continues with model Sarah Pumple getting to know the gorgeous interior of the historic hotel.
Years ago, model Melanie Moore and I did a series of photo shoots in the historic Biltmore Hotel, Providence RI. Now the Graduate Providence, the hotel is now hosting my artist residency through the Sweet Dreams Society and Melanie and I continue to create in its magnificent space.
Event photography is much more fun when it for a talented friend, in this case, the talented Kaitlyn Frolich who created a magical Halloween at the Castle event once again with finesse, attention to detail and plenty of fun! Can't wait until next year!
