Mother Molly’s Preserves & Spreads
AtomicNotions has been busy this summer so far. One of my dearest and sincerest cousins, Katara, has been tolling away at her small business called “Mother Molly’s”. It is an all-organic fruit spread and jam business. There are variety of flavors to be had and each one taste great. She has recently began to offer the flavors as part of her own sangria line as well. She reached out to us many moons awhile back to schedule a personal branding shoot. After schedules clashing over and over, we were able to find suitable time and schedule for the shoot. I really wish her the best in whatever endeavors and opportunities that come her way for her hard work.

“Yay, Trina!”
Senior Photo Session: Trina
Like mother, like daughter. As my niece completed her academic journey, my big sis completed hers in Paralegal Studies (she’ll probably correct me on that, lol) from Anne Arundel Community College.
The stars couldn’t have aligned any more beautifully than these two stars of the tribe. Yay, Trina!
Jasmine’s BSN Senior Session
“We got a Graduate in the house!”
My niece received her BS in Nursing and it was mighty, long & hard (8D) road for her to receive it. She paid her dues, strived for excellence, and is officially licensed. I had to reward her by making her a part of portfolio, and give portraits that she can keep for years to come! Forever, Fornever…
Mia Roberts’ Graduation Party
Mia Roberts Graduation PArty
Summer’s a Blazin’!
We found a posting on a Facebook photography group by “Once Upon A Time" event LLC seeking a photographer a Graduation Party. I put in my proposal for my services and luck would have it, I was selected. I met with the coordinators, organized with the mother, Erin, and was able to conduct the service for this graduation party. All in all, it was a beautiful event for the acknowledged graduate!
Sunny Sierra
Another Great Photoshoot that was amazing, but kina had a rough start. Our Model for this shoot is Sierra Sweeney. She posted in a Facebook group that she was looking to build her portfolio up more and we offered to be off assistance.
Here comes ‘shoot day and we arrived at said location. We waited for our model to join us. Text message ring. Her message stated She was running late due to her having a flat tire en route to location, but once it was done, she’ll be there. So we waited some more. Now it was a race against the sunset, as we scheduled this shoot near the end of the day. We were just about to leave and reach back out to her to reschedule when….ALAS! Ms. Sierra arrived! Considering that time wasn’t on our side, we had to make this shoot quick. From the look of the photos, she definitely made up for it in her poses and looks. One of the easiest and smoothest shoots we have ever done. We will be booking her again in the near future.

The 2023 Summer Season has begun and I wanted to aim for taking my photography to a different route in terms of branding. Always being fascinated with the lifestyle photography that I’ve seen on many stock photo websites, I decided that it would be one of the photography ventures I’d aim to do. I reached out to a relative of mine who just happened to stop by a department store that I was shopping at. She offered to volunteer her time to assist me in being the subject of my first photoshoot in the lifestyle photopgraphy aspect. This was a fun photoshoot to create with her, as she even had her daughter participate in it. All in all, it was great way to catch up and capture the fun of a mother and daughter in their humble abode.
Sisters
Sisterhood is just at tight as a brotherhood
Continuing the venture of growing my portfolio in lifestyle family concepts, I offered high school homie the opportunity to be featured in my portfolio. She was more than happy to oblige and when I explained what my branding goals were, she eagerly invited her children to participate. My original idea was to incorporate the mother along with children, but as you’ll see the personalities of the two adorable sisters, Mom not being included was just what the doctor ordered.
Kimberly Cashwell

Ms. Cashwell was one of the first models I shot with during the 2022 Spring season. I reached out to her to practice some in studio portraits. I suggested that she bring along her children that she mentioned in our consultation talk. All 3 of her children was a joy to participate and I’ll be sure to keep them as regulars involved in future projects.
Tasha & the Munchkins
On a blistering and hot Sunday Afternoon in July, I conducted one of the first lifestyle shoots I had conceptualized. I reached to models in a TFP group and fortunately was contacted by Ms. Tasha. I explained to her what the endgame was. Her and her children were more than happy to participate in the creative process during that they even came up with their visualizations that went along with what I had in mind.
This was a great photoshoot to do and was one of my favorites that I have ever done. The photography came out better than I had expected. The lighting was perfect from the outside, the flash wasn’t giving any issues. Everything that could go right in a photoshoot, especially with two energetic children, went RIGHT. As Summer ‘23 rolls, I have to bring this family back out. Perhaps a urban fashion concept may be in the works…
“Mom, what’s Windows ‘98?”
“Boy, if you don’t stop jumping! Mom just bought this comforter!”
“Mama won’t know what hit her…”
“Dog Pile!!!!”
