The new issue of Adoptive Families Magazine is out, and this beautiful cover model is Mimi, from Ethiopia. I love photographing covers for Adoptive Families Magazine for a few reasons: First of all, I'm a huge advocate for adoption, no surprise there. Secondly, I get the opportunity to suggest my portrait clients for magazine covers! Little Mimi here is not just gorgeous, but she also has an incredibly interesting life story ... and she's only a toddler. She was born in

There's a bit of a sadness around Chapel Hill now that UNC is out of the Final Four. The good news is that my friend Hubert Davis, an Analyst for ESPN, can finally engage in some seriously needed downtime with his family, after a frenzied season of traveling to tons of games to cover them. He also gets the opportunity to hang out with this gorgeous woman, his wife and close friend, Leslie: And with these adorable sweeties: Leslie and Hubert are seriously good people. The

After my post about Senator Obama, I got an interesting phone call from my friend, client, and fellow photographer Katie Williams. It turns out that her mother, Hallie, has been following the blog since I photographed her grandchildren. She had the thought that she would love to see similar images of Senator Clinton. As a passionate supporter and friend of Hillary Clinton, she wanted to see how she could help me get the type of access I would need to achieve more personal i

I will definitely post more portraits and imagery of Senator Hillary Clinton from her visit to North Carolina today - got some amazing access and beautiful images!!

In my next post, I will share a lot more details about how these portraits came about - it's such a cool story...

Per my promise to add photographs from President Clinton's visit to North Carolina last week. Kind of amazing to stand there and watch this man who has come to represent so many things to so many people after decades of the highest-profile public service there is... regardless of where you stand politically, it's difficult to argue with the fact that this is one of the most well-known faces on the planet. (By the way, my 6 year-old daughter looked at these photographs, and

I so appreciate the very cool feedback and emails I received after posting some photographs of Barack Obama (and Annie!!). One of the things I was asked most often was if I could post some more images. I will definitely do so later, after the magazine goes to press, but I do have clearance to post this one more, definitely one of my favorites... I am gearing up to photograph Senator Hillary Clinton next, this Thursday. Will circle back after that - we're working on a diff
