Asijah Adolph, The Sweet Melody

Asijah Adolph, my niece, is not only beautiful, she’s a sweet heart, smart, talented singer, dancer and violinist. In the waiting to grow up and fly free into the light of the day her strength is tested, molded and curved to the beauty of what is known as pure, sweet and lovely.

Her presence is that of a lady and a voice in the making of the sweetest melody will be heard by the lonely, broken and thirsty to heal hearts with the simple act of listening. Her beauty reflects her heart and her joy brings smiles to those around her..  she is in the making of influence to the coming generation. 

Such grace at her young age I’ve seen while see grows up.  Always a lady, straight A student and a gifted singer who out sings the best singer I have every known who gives me goose bumps every time she sings, her mother.

Getting your children to behave in class is not always an easy task.  It’s not always easy for kids to remember the rules, control their excitement, anger or know how process a right response the first time.  Repeating good manners or asking if they understand may seem annoying and repetitive but it may be necessary otherwise your going to have a lot of time outs.  Try to deescalate the situation and save punishments for behaviors that are intentional like talking back, calling names but don’t expect perfectionism after all they are kids.

Photography; Marking history with elegance, romance, laughter and creativity.

Have you ever noticed how poorly some Wedding Photographers display their cover image? This should be the best picture they are capable of taking. You have to wonder how many pictures it took to get this one they are displaying!

Your photos should crisp, sometimes a little out of focus, vibrant color, creative, full screen shots (not with the people like ants in the background, unless done for effect).

The average price of a Wedding Photographer that is professional and experienced is around $5,000.00. ( starting package).

There are some alternatives that will come in handy if you’ll spend a little extra time looking. Check out www.flickr.com and custom search any subject, most interesting, most viewed and look at their profile, if you like what you see e-mail them, they may be half the price! (also try www.istock.com, www.myspace.com).

Some colleges such as Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) have a resume link for all student with a portfolio on-line for your viewing pleasure. It’s worth a shot!

I found a great gal on Flickr called ‘Angry Salad’, she was willing to fly out from NY venturing in Photography. Her composition and lighting of a recent wedding she did was remarkable! It had a vintage grainy look with dark hughes and contrast lighting that really brought out the events not the background. She various her style to your tastes and is willing to shoot on location at in various destinations.
