Check out the April 2009 issue of Black Enterprise Magazine.  An image from my portrait session with Natalynn was published as part 3 of the “Women & Money” article series.  The article begins on page 66, with the photo of Natalynn and her husband Dan appearing on page 70.  Photo credit was incorrectly given to another photographer for this image, and should read “Photograph by Benson Blake” at the bottom of page 70.  Black Enterprise Magazine is available at most Barnes & Noble and Walmart stores.

On February 7th, I traveled to Chesterfield, Virginia to photograph business-woman Natalynn Roman.  She’s the president of the Strategic Leadership Development Group in Virginia, a company that provides leadership and organizational consulting services to a variety of clients.

Natalynn will be featured in the April 2009 issue of Black Enterprise Magazine, as Part 3 of a three-part “Women & Money” series.  Natalynn and her husband were both photographed together for the magazine, as well as individual headshots.  Here are a some portraits of the couple that were created that beautiful day in Chesterfield.

Congratulations to newlyweds Seidah & John, who recently married in northern VA on 8-8-08.  They enjoyed a private ceremony, then held a party on a later date for family and friends to join the celebration.  I had the pleasure of creating casual portraits for their custom-printed invitations.

Deanna and Natario’s engagement session took place at Huntington Park in Newport News VA. The warm weather was right on time, and the morning sunlight was perfect for photography. Click here to view the wedding photos.

On last Thursday, I had the joy of photographing Amy and Michael for their engagement session. We met at the Ocean View Fishing Pier in Norfolk, where sand and water served as a natural backdrop. Their one year old son joined in the fun too! Here’s a sneak peek into some moments from their session. Click here to view the wedding photos.

One of my photographs has been published in the February 2008 issue of Black Enterprise Magazine!

Congratulations to LaToya & David! They are the winners of Black Enterprise Magazine’s latest Financial Fitness Challenge. I was asked earlier this month to photograph them at their home in Hampton VA.
