ILW Photography & State Farm Insurance/ Black Enterprise Magazine Calendar

I had the privilege to work with the Sanders/Wingo Advertising Agency to get three of my images into the 2010 State Farm Calendar which is featured in the January 2010 edition of Black Enterprise Magazine.

Below is the cover to the January 2010 edition of the magazine.

Studio Plus Hair Salon – 2009 Christmas Party

Last weekend I was hired to photograph the Christmas party for Studio Plus Hair Salon in Durham, NC.  The event was held at the Marriott Convention Center in Downtown Durham.   There were a few presentations that took place followed by entertainment and dancing.    We saw people imitating Ike and Tina Turner, Pattie Labelle and others.  The show was simply hilarious…   Below are some memorable moments from the party.  I thought I would die laughing when these two came out acting like Ike and Tina Turner.  They did everything from dance & sing to just cut up.  Of course in true Ike Turner style he forced her to eat cake at the end of their performance.

Raynard & Winona – 25th Wedding Anniversary

On December 19th, 2009 I had the privilege of capturing the 25th Wedding Anniversary for Raynard & Winona Tyson.   These two are living testimonies to what God can do within a marriage.  After almost 30 years of being together they still give each other compliments and don’t just “Love” each other but are “In Love”.    On Friday for the rehearsal we fought against snow and ice.  However, come Saturday morning God had made sure that the temperature was warm enough to ensure that we would have roads without ice.

Special Appreciation  To:

Doris B. Eurquhart, Wedding Coordinator and Directress
