Several floors above the city, we began a curious excursion. We had talked about it for weeks, pondering the “whens” and “hows” and “looks” of this endeavor. earthSista Sabali lives in Alabama and I am in Atlanta. During a weekend excursion to Georgia with her sisters, we had planned to get together. We had discussed what we wanted to create and yet among the skyscrapers in the ATL we ignored all of the plans and the setup. Instead it was an intuitive moment marked with discreet activities that were inspired and intended to be shared. Sabali was playful and artistic,;...

Honestly, is that proverb really true? The Baobab tree truly is a source of inspiration. Its generous spirit and life-giving properties has been renowned in stories told for centuries. The Baobab is one of the longest living trees in the world. Native to the dry plains of Central Africa, where its considered by many to be the dwelling place of departed spirits, the baobab has been used as a source of water by some and a home by others. Looking like trees that have been planted upside down these  uniquely iconic symbols of long life inspired earthSista MoEss and artists Maurice Evans and Grace...

Two things were a constant on this stroll: the heat and Sarafina’s smile. The day did not start out smoothly. On the way to the lake, there were unexpected car problems but Sarafina took it all in stride. She was always positive and kept things light. The heat was merciless even at the lake. But the sky was bright, the day was beautiful, as for Sarafina… it was hard for her not to laugh. earthSista GreenRose tagged along and stayed behind the scenes. The two of them kept the stroll lively. GreenRose was her typically sassy and upbeat self. Sarafina was energetic and vivacious. On this...

I have my own production company and we focus on fashion marketing, model marketing, promotional marketing, event coordinating and fashion shows. As my company flourishes and becomes successful I hope to bless others, easing their struggles as they strive to become successful too. I’m literally between a “skinny “rock and a “plus-size” hard place due to not being the average size model and not really being a plus-size model. As a professional model now I hope to become specifically well known as a Curvatious Full-Figured, none-average Model completely changing the tone of what the Model...

Karisma I’m a very down to earth lady. I love to just relax and vibe to music, throw down in the kitchen, sing & dance. I’m a strong hardworking mother to beautiful twin boys who are the best thing that has ever happened to me. My life didn’t officially start until i saw their faces for the first time. I’m in love with them never knew i could love someone as much as I love them. I love the camera and taking pictures not just because I’m photogenic but simply because it captures me so well even in random caught offguard moments. I’m glad to have worked with...

words from earthSista Nfinite… It was a beautiful morning, and the lake was surrounded by a thick, surreal mist. The sunlight reflected off of the water, making everything look as if it were dazzling and refreshed. Instead of contrasting with nature’s beauty and standing out, I wanted to blend in and become a part of the scenery. This was an opportunity to truly get back to basics, and synchronize myself with nature physically and mentally. I felt like my brown skin was right at home in the midst the greens, tans and blues that composed my surroundings. Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player...

Smiling, impulsive and full of vision. These thoughts were the impressions I remember from the leisurely stroll I shared with MoEss (short for MoreEssence.) On this pleasantly, overcast day, MoEss was inquisitive and open and loquacious. And as we meandered around a lake to reach the cover of one its gazebos, I couldn’t help but be impressed by this woman. She talked about all of the potentially exciting things we were going to do in the Garden and some of the fantastic ideas she had about future photoshoots and Pangea gear. Her enthusiasm inspired me! MoEss was funny and revealing, sassy...

Hershey stood next to the windowed door so that I could watch how the light fell on her when she got a phone call. And then she got a text. Followed by a phone call another text and so on. They were all with the same person and this continued for a while. I wasn’t really listening but from the expressions on her face there was some obvious drama going on. Curious about how the emotion in these captures would look like, I continued shooting. Hershey, aware and curious herself, consciously positioned herself provocatively. Unabashedly, she continued her talk, never afraid to show her true feelings,...

Beauty heard about the Garden, purely by chance. She was interested immediately. A very real and down to earth sista, Beauty simply lives life to the fullest as she searches for her place in. She is a woman always on the move as she explores various venues for her own creativity, while providing support for the creative endeavors of those closest to her. Beauty loves being in front of the camera and she eagerly seeks the opportunity to create provocative and striking images as you can tell from he recent captures in the sun. As soon as can fit it into her busy schedule, Beauty will create a new...

They wanted an early Sunday morning workout. Just the two of them so that they would not be bothered. It seemed like the perfect opportunity to practice their dance and not be distracted by onlookers and I thought it was the perfect chance to get the two of them together for the shoot we’d talked about doing. They had never danced or shot together before and we were all a little unsure about what we would create. But, you know, that is the exploration…that is the adventure. They stepped into the dance studio. Stretched and loosened up. Connected. And proceeded to create. Both of these beautiful...
