W e've known Megan for many years. Those of you that know her and her family know what special folks they are. Megan recently asked if we would do a portrait session for her and of course, we were delighted! She is a beautiful girl and has a tender heart for God. She shares her faith boldly with those she's around. We count it a blessing to know her and truly enjoyed our session. Karen did Megan's makeup then we braved the cold, traveling to several locations. I shot some B&W film for the session and man do I love film! Film was my first love in photography. This medium has the power to transform a portrait into an expressive and timeless work of art. Nothing compares to the effect of film grain on a B&W photograph; it captures a richness and subtlety of shading that cannot be achieved digitally. Karen and I are so excited to now offer B&W portraits using all film! The new B&W portrait sessions will be a very unique niche and perfect for those who love heartful, soulful B&W portrait photography. The final print, a beautiful work-of-art portrait ... is like icing on the cake! Here are a few of our favorites of Megan. Let us know what you think.

"Youth is, after all, just a moment, but it is the moment, the spark, that you always carry in your heart." ~ Raisa M. Gorbachev ~ She stepped gracefully out of the car, flowing curly hair and a big beautiful smile. I watched as she approached with her friend ... laughing and having fun. Do you remember how it was when you were a senior? ... the fun, the laughter, laughing so hard you cried! ! Then finally getting your license ... and maybe a car and that little bit of freedom. Having friends and hanging out was the absolute best in life! I remember those days all to well ... time passes and days turn into years but you'll always recall the wonderful memories of that special moment in time. Rebekah ... unique in many ways and yet so much a typical teenager with her whole life ahead of her. Thanks, Rebekah, for allowing us to capture this time in your life and all the best to you in your pursuit of eternal happiness.

W e recently did a senior session with Brooke. She will be graduating next May, not only with a high school diploma but also with an associate degree. When she starts college next fall she'll go in as a junior ... how 'bout them apples! She has been working really hard to accomplish what she is doing, that's for sure. Her plans are to go in to nursing. Her bright and cheerful smile will make anyone feel better! Thanks Brooke and Penny (mom) for a fun time.

“How did it get so late so soon? It's night before its afternoon. December is here before its June. My goodness how the time has flown. How did it get so late so soon?” ~Dr. Seuss~ We often hear parents ask, "Where did the time go?" especially during senior sessions. As a parent, it seems that you turn around one day and they are grown. We recently did a senior session with a fine young man, Reilly. When a comment was made to his mom about how Reilly has grown up and where did the time go, she responded by saying, "I blinked!" Reilly is a senior at High Point Central and has plans to attend either UNC-Chapel Hill or Brown University. He enjoys music, sports, and art & design. One of his interests is ping pong. He really enjoys it and, in fact, organized a ping pong club. Reilly also founded the Bisongs Acappella Group at school ... he is definitely an organizer by nature ... give him a project or an idea and he will have it organized and off and going just like that! We wish Reilly all the best and know that the future holds great things for such an interesting and talented young man.

S tyles come and go, phrases and gestures change with the times. Beneath the tatoos and loose fitting clothes, young people are still the same as always. They love life and enjoy spending time with their friends. They never turn down a good meal and for the most part are always running a little behind. Their struggles also remain the same ... how to find their own identity and yet remain a part of the crowd. I love the opportunity to photograph seniors, I always come away from the session feeling a little younger myself. It's great to know our future is in the hands of such amazing people! My session with Conner left me feeling that way. He's a fantastic young man with a bright future ahead. Conner, thanks for letting me get to know you and best wishes to you!
