Got Swagger?

The Urban Dictionary defines swagger: To move with confidence, sophistication and to be cool. Swagger is to conduct your self in a way that would automatically earn respect.  To dress in a very stylish and quirkily fasionable way would suggest one has swagger. 


I have no doubt, that the Swagger Crew has their name right.  If you have ever watched them on stage (the list goes on and on, but you may have caught them on ABDC season 5, BET Hip hop music awards, or the 2009 Soul Train awards just to name a few spots...) you have witnessed just how "cool" they can be.  However, you have really gotten lucky if you've had the chance to hang out and chat with any of the Swagger Crew members.  They are friendly, professional and will have you laughing through the entire conversation. 


Be sure to check them out and try to take a class or two! Swagger Crew is also dedicated to fighting childhood obesity through their program Swagger Crew Fit Kidz.  They have definitely earned my respect and I am proud to call them my friends.

Oh the power!

It is a lucky person to be surrounded by friends that they can admire for various qualities.  I am one of those fortunate people.  I was able to add a strong woman to my little circle this summer, and was even more fortunate to be able to take pictures of her the other day and show the beauty in the strength we women can have.  This includes the strength we had to have when running, in 4" heels, as the train came racing at us down the tracks! YIKES! LOL! 

A Gaggle of Girls

I was a little nervous with the idea of shooting seven, yes seven, girls at one time.  Haven't you ever tried taking a group picture?  I believe it might be one of the laws of the universe that one person must blink every time a camera shutter goes off. But.... with the help of Rhonda (on hair), Kat (on make-up), Julissa (the pose master) and seven bubbling, smiling girls...all was well in the world of photography.  I'm so excited to finish editing these photos since they are coming out as bright and colorful as the experience.

If you are interested in scheduling a group photo session, check out the packages available on my website.  You can also see more images from this shoot and others!
