As most of you know, we’re (Inlet) deep in the midst of our 6.5 week Summer Dance Intensive. (Performing next week!) We have some of the most incredible students with us this summer. I’ve been pouring my time into them, into movement, into here, rather than on here. I would love to begin updating more and more when time allows. This summer, so far, has been one of extensive growth inwardly, and outwardly.

Now, on a more hysterical note, one of the students – Tia – posted this photograph of me on facebook. This was the morning of fashion police day. Simply put, what not to wear. Even though, it be fun to wear this more often just for shock factor. Thought you’d enjoy a glimpse.

What is Art? Campaign

laurensusanna — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 18:35:16 +0000

Recently in May I worked with the Arts Council of Kanawha County in West Virginia taking specific photographs for the launch of their, What is Art? Campaign. These three photographs are currently hanging around town with others, promoting new and fresh ideas in the community of what art is to them. This project was in collaboration with the fabulous Megan Bullock.

These quotes are from whom is photographed — a privilege to get to know them.

Seven Glimpses of Hope: Day 5

laurensusanna — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 02:21:35 +0000

I felt the need to highlight this specific day, Restoration of Innocence: Girls Program. These girls gripped my heart so tightly, and have yet to let go… and I pray they never will. I’m lost and heartbroken in their stories, and yet, through Grace at Open Arms, they have found hope. Hope that will last. Hope that will not fade. Hope that is theirs for life.

Watch, and feel. Listen. Don’t turn a deaf ear to the broken. And, act.

The Foundation needs funds to keep the doors open to girls with stories just like these every day. Please, don’t take this lightly.

Continue to the stories follow here.

Another Great Weekend in WV

Spending all evening with a family taking lifestyle portraits and their daughter’s Senior portraits.

Tomorrow I embark on my first portrait shoot for the “What is Art?” campaign with the Arts Council and the Clay Center to be released this coming week with a lovely lady named Xris in St. Albans.

…and the fabulous Creperi Cafe (http://cafecreperi.com) will be opening their new location this summer in Corridor G where I’ll be
helping with new promotional materials and photographs for their restaurant walls.

All in a few days work (and breathe).

Documentary: Caramina’s Adventure

A few weeks ago, Inlet had the privilege of being a part of Travis Pollert’s short film, Caramina’s Adventure. Travis wrote, directed and produced the film — he’s fabulous to work with, and I’m looking forward to the projects we’re collaborating on at the end of this month!
