I picked up some fun new props and got one of my favorite models to try one out.

Ready-to-hang options are very popular among my clients. I love the ease-of-use that it offers. All you need is a nail and your art piece is on display. I’ve even used double-sided mounting tape. Featured in this post is the top-selling, gorgeous gallery mount.

Shown here is a white gallery mount, but it is also available in black.

A few months ago, I had the privilege of  photographing dentist couple Robert Young Jr. and Lorette Polite-Young for the Feb/March issue of Uptown magazine. They are such a lovely couple and I’m happy that I had an opportunity to meet them.

Miss A, it was such a pleasure to hang out with you and your awesome parents! You are the cutest, cuddliest, sweetest little girl. Thanks so much for having me over!

At the time of our session, Miss A was trying to walk. Look at how happy she is and how proud mom is. Love it!

Think she is daddy’s girl? I don’t think he would mind at all – just look at this sweet moment.

T, you are GORGEOUS!

UPDATE: Both lenses are now enjoying new homes.
