I am beyond excited to finally share these with everyone! 📸💙
Because of the incredible support from so many friends, donors, and supporters of Camp Dragonfly Camera, we now have 74 cameras ready for campers to use and enjoy this summer. Seeing this dream become reality honestly leaves me over the moon with gratitude.
Thank you to every single person who donated, shared, encouraged, and believed in this project. Your kindness made this happen, and I truly can’t thank you enough.
From the bottom of my heart — THANK YOU. These cameras are going to help create memories, spark creativity, and capture so many special moments for our campers. 🏕️✨

The tradition of keeping our environment clean continues, as we hit the road this morning for Waterford Township’s Earth Day cleanup. We collected 8 big bags of trash along Hatchery Rd, Williams Lake rd, and inside the wooded area by the airport, Waterford Township. Waterford Township,

This is one of my favorite projects, photographing today's students and tomorrow's leaders. Thank you Waterford School District for letting me be part of this project with you. 🩵💚

🎓 It’s time to start celebrating the Class of 2026! Our latest billboard on M-59 West (near Exit 38/MLK Blvd.) is officially up and features two of our amazing graduating seniors, Miley Hooper (Waterford Kettering) and Geno Seets (Waterford Mott)! These students represent the hard work, talent and bright future of Waterford School District. 👀 Keep an eye out as you drive by and give them a wave. 👋

I am so incredibly touched by this and by all of you who have already stepped in to help—thank you from the bottom of my heart.❤
We’ve made a great start, and now we’re working toward our goal of $3,150 to provide a camera for every camper. Each $45 donation puts a camera in a child’s hands for the week.
I truly believe in the power of photography, and I cannot wait to see the world through their eyes. Thank you for helping make this possible.

So here I am doing a few head shots for the Macomb prosecutors and look what I see on the counter behind me 😁
Pete Lucido paid a visit to my Uncle Eddie 3 years ago on his 100 birthday. Pete was great with Uncle Eddie, he loves his veterans. ❤️
Uncle Eddie is going to be 103 April 8! I am looking forward to my visit with him later today.

Photographer friends!
DPPA has a great PPA Merit class coming up on March 25 with Tracie Maglosky-Pollard called “From Invisible to In-Demand: The Baby Whisperer Blueprint.”
If you photograph maternity or newborns, this looks like a really good one. Plus it’s a full PPA merit program, which is always a bonus!
🗓 March 25
⏰ 10 AM – 6 PM
📍 7 North Studio – Pontiac
Always a fun day learning and hanging out with fellow photographers. Hope to see some of you there!

What a week! Camp Dragonfly wrapped up yesterday. I loved being part of something that is so important in today’s world.
Watching, listening and seeing personal growth in these beautiful kids was truly incredible. They are inspiring.
My heart is filled with love, joy and excitement for the kids, they did great!

Day 4 of Camp Dragonfly...it was another day loaded with growth, kindness and laughter!
Personally, I had the one of the best days! Two campers shared kindness notes with me (cue the feels ❤️). All week I've had a couple of campers asking about my camera. Today, I brought in an old camera and during their snack time, they went and took some pictures of their friends. The last dozen images on this post are theirs, they are marked student photography. Enjoy, there are some talented youngsters out there!
My heart is full tonight! ❤️
