Evolution of a Queen

My first time in Central Park was amazing. This is the Bethesda Terrace and Fountain it was absolutely amazing. I love buildings and different architectural structures. This one took a lot of time to create and spoke life to me. The Terreace was designed by Calvert Vaux with sculptural decoration by Jacob Wrey Mould, the details of the ceiling and the colors used here were exquisite. I was able to capture these shots before my photoshoot. I fell in love with this place . I plan to shoot here again. The rain during this shoot gave me life and added dimension to the photos. I love shooting in the reign....and yes that was a play on my name. Enjoy the beauty I see within my lens. Stay tuned.

This will be the segment in my blog where I will capture the beauty I see around me. I love to travel, to meet new people, experience new places and food. As a model and blogger I get to travel and do the things I love.  I've decided to share the beauty I see. Growing up in the military I lived in a few different places as a child however, I am now equipped with a camera when I go. Now I'm able to capture the beauty around me. And, Oh the beauty I see everytime I come to NYC. My husband is a Brooklyn native so when we get the chance I get to be a tourist. I love exploring new places. These shots were taken at Brooklyn Bridge Park. This view took my breath away. I hope you enjoy the beauty I see within my lens. Stay tuned.

A.D. Reigns and Tracie Stern Founder and CEO The Rock the Woman Card Talk about AMAZING........Over the weekend I attended The Rock the Woman Card Conference sponsored by Black Diamond Wellness. The host and founder of Rock the Woman Card Tracie Stern offered this free event with lunch included at the Wyndham Hotel in Virginia Beach, Virginia.  This conference had dynamic speakers who covered business, fashion, nutrition, beauty, and wellness. Tracie opened the show in just her robe, no makeup, and her fuzzy slippers. The opening set the tone for the entire day. The tone of the conference was about embracing yourself and being authentically you.  The Rock the Woman T-shirt hailed the phrase "I woke up this morning and realized, I don't have what it takes to be average". This is how to open your conference!   The conference began with wedding industry entrepreneur Maya Houlihan this powerhouse coined "Queen of the Brides" sha...

Featured Model of the Month Memorie 4 Life I've had the privilege of working with Brother-Michael "Katlow" Cox from Brooklyn NY. He is also the Publishing Editor of DMochelle Fashions Magazine and President of Memorie 4 Life Photography. It's always a joy to work with Brother Michael. I love his appreciation for the art of photography. Most if not all of his work is untouched. So what you see is what you get. Just a man and his camera capturing the essence of his subject. I just want to say thank so much Michael and I can't wait to see our latest collarboration.                                                        Model: A.D.Reigns            ...
