I’ve been sitting on these photos for a while just waiting to show you on the new site.

These are students from The Maya Angelou Charter School in Southeast Washington DC.  My friend (and former neighbor), Karen, introduced me to these kids because she teaches them every day.  She loves these kids with a passion and it shows every time she talks about them and to them.  She desires so much to see these kids achieve their goals and dreams.

These kids are so cool!  We had so much fun going to locations that they chose around DC.  During one shoot we got kicked out of the National Mall by the park police.  Who knew you needed to get a permit?

The sessions crossed over a couple weeks and we went everywhere from the Lincoln Memorial to Georgetown to U Street to The Arboretum.
