Scavenger Hunt Annapolis! September 26, 2009
Soulfully Speaking’s 3rd Scavenger Hunt kicked off in Annapolis on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. Annapolis, unfamiliar to most participants, was the perfect place for a Scavenger Hunt – plenty of history, friendly streets and people…not to mention all the Midshipmen walking around! 
As usual, it all started with strategic planning:
And then they were off! Scrambling along the quaint streets of Annapolis…from the State House…
…to the Naval Academy and St. John’s College…
…to the Alex Haley/Kunta Kinte Memorial on the City Dock.
For more points, the hunters were also on the lookout for Ravens and Redskins fans, tour guides dressed in period clothing…and of course…Midshipmen! :)
The teams were given extra points for finding us at a specific location at a specific time!
And after a few hours of hunting around beautiful downtown Annapolis…the winning team was:
We tried to get a group picture of all the teams…but half of them were on Main Street eating!
Sounded like a good idea, so we headed down to Buddy’s for an early dinner and I figured…why let the teams have all the fun??
Thanks to everyone who participated in the Scavenger Hunt and to all those who made donations! A portion of the proceeds will go to the Center for Minority Studies. It was a great day. Thanks Annapolis!
If you missed this one, be sure to catch the next Scavenger Hunt in spring 2010!

Looking for something different to do for the weekend?
Come out and join us in our third Scavenger Hunt – this time in Maryland’s capital city of Annapolis! Spend your Saturday afternoon exploring downtown Annapolis and discovering all the historic city has to offer.
WHO?
Teams of two adults (children also welcome) will set out on foot and have about 3 hours to find and photograph clues and perform tasks across downtown Annapolis. It’s all about the strategy – the team with the most points at the end of the allotted time will be the winner and awarded a cash prize!!
REGISTRATION?
Registration is $30 per team in advance and $40 the day of the Hunt. Advance registration is encouraged to ensure that enough materials are available. After you have completed your registration payment, I will confirm your receipt and email you a copy of the Scavenger Hunt rules.
WHY?
In a continuing effort that is the brown girl study, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to another organization that services this population. The Center for Minority Studies is a non-profit organization that promotes health literacy and awareness by providing quality health-related support services to underpriviledged, disadvantaged, low socioeconomic status clients in Washington, DC and its surrounding metropolitan area.
If you cannot attend, but would like to make a donation, it would be greatly appreciated. Direct donations will go to CMS.
Still unsure about participating? See all of the fun the teams have had during the previous Scavenger Hunts:
Please feel free to contact me with any questions! See you at the Hunt!
30 in Chicago! August 18, 2009
I had the opportunity to do a photo shoot in Chicago this past weekend with a group of fabulous ladies. Celebrating turning 30, the shots were fun, confident and beautiful. One would think that working with a handful of women at a shoot would be difficult, but it was actually quite seamless. It might have been the hottest day in Chicago this summer, but everyone hung in there…lol. Thanks ladies! :) Here are a handful of the images…
Around Annapolis July 3, 2009
I did a shoot in Annapolis today. My friend so graciously agreed to participate in today’s photography adventure. I think he may be in the wrong profession, as modeling may be right up his alley! We had fun in and around Annapolis. And I got some great images to add to my personal project…take a peek…
Mommy-to-be May 30, 2009
I had a great shoot today with a beautiful mommy-to-be. My goal was to make the images as much about her as they were about the little one she is carrying. After all, the next forever years will be about the little one. :) She was very comfortable and natural with her poses and expressions, which made it all the better. I look forward to doing another shoot with her in a few months. Here are a few of the images…
Dichotomy May 26, 2009
I did a photo shoot with Tavon in Baltimore today. We came across this cool somewhat industrial area that had all of this great brick work…in addition to a few other cool spots. I love the way shoots sometimes come together when you’re open and flexible. I appreciate Tavon volunteering his time to help progress one of my personal photography projects. He doesn’t think so, but I think he’s a natural…lol. It was fun! Here are a few of the images…
