It’s good to have a nice photo of yourself handy, just in case. I’ve had four requests for headshots in the past few months. Recently photos from two of the sessions that I did ended up in the press very shortly after the sessions. This isn’t surprising, because they are really dynamic people. The first is Justin Tanner, he was profiled in the Atlanta Tribune for his leadership in Atlanta. The other is Corrina Lathan, …
Jonelle Henry – Districtly Speaking
Dialogue is a part of our every day lives. However, sometimes we forget to move past the surface level interactions and dive into issues with deeper meaning.

Studio No. 7 Fire Photos

While it seems like I’ve been thriving these past few months (and I have been) I’ve also been battling with myself and trying …

Frankl I started off my 30th birthday angry. The anger turned into a slight rage, then came the sadness and then I was back at anger again.

Greatest Ray Lewis Quote from the Superbowl
I’ll admit it. The lights came back on during the Superbowl, the 49er started to make a comeback and I quickly became a coward. After the 49ers made an interception in the 3rd, I promptly turned off the TV and went to bed. When I woke up, I was delighted to find out that the Ravens had one. Nope, I’m not a Ravens fan. I just happen to love a good underdog story. And, without …
