MS Society: Portraits of Giving

Many of us have a family member or know someone who is diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.  MS is a chronic disease that attacks the central nervous system and is often debilitating.  On Saturday March 12, a group of 60 volunteers met at the MS Society Georgia Chapter office and set out on a day of helping three people with MS.  These individuals struggle everyday to do things that we all take for granted: painting, raking leaves, gardening, and household chores.  It was a beautiful spring day (after a week of rather wintry weather) and I was fortunate to have the opportunity to capture the day in photographs.




Yard work was an important part of the day.










It was definitely a great day to be working outside.










Volunteers worked inside taking care of long awaited household projects.














At the end of the day, three big families celebrated a job well done.




 




The volunteers accomplished a tremendous amount in one day.  The leadership of the Georgia Chapter did a great job in organizing and executing this extremely worthwhile project.  I was grateful to be able to capture these photographs and memories of the day. Hopefully this will encourage more people to volunteer for future projects and continue their generosity to the MS Society.

Web Site: Portrait of a Business

Your web site is a portrait of your business. Making a good first impression is of paramount importance. You want your photographs tell the story of your business.  We recently completed a photo shoot for Cigar 57, a local cigar shop and lounge. Here are some of the images from our session.





A portrait of the owners provides a good introduction to your audience.  Ken and Linda were gracious hosts and excellent subjects.  








When shooting indoor locations, it can be a challenge to balance out the color and intensity of the light as it often comes from different light sources.  Using gels and modifiers, we were able to accurately capture the rich colors of the interior.





Here are some views looking towards the front and rear of the store. The bar welcomes customers at the entrance, and the lounge provides a comfortable setting to chat or watch TV.



 The humidor is one of the focal points of the store.




If you are in the area, stop by and see Ken and Linda.
