I'm moving into Unc status in the photography business now. Mostly training, consulting, lecturing, etc. I realize there's a lot of you following me now who are newer to the photography business. Let me give you a piece of free and gentle advice as we move into school dance season:
you have to get permission from these kids' parents before putting photos of them on the internet for your photography studios' asvertisment. If they are underage, get a model release in writing or at least say something to their grownups. There are many reasons parents wouldn't want their kids photos out there beyond their control. Especially with the rise of AI and nefarious things being done with your images you will never know about. Protecting these kids/teenagers is all of our responsibility as a community. No matter what the legality is, be conscientious. Take your duty to your young clients and their people seriously.

Showing my Celestial would require that I actually went back to Gainesville and picked it up 🤦🤣🤣🤣
My grandkids and I always enjoy coming and painting at your studio
I saw you tonight painting the wall. Looking great!
Fantastic shirt
We would go every year, at least for Father’s Day. We loved the painted flamingo. It was like talking to family.

When Ms Lisa can't quite let go of her spring porch goose, we'll just give her a fall makeover!
Thanks to Lake Lanier Nutrition for putting me to work!
Now she needs a porch goose to dress up for all holidays with fun out fits of course
Recoating and overcoating original window splashes is a WALLDOG'S best friend!
