LEISURE...

Hey again!

Let me just start by saying that we absolutely LOVE shooting in or around water, and if you follow our blog on a regular basis, then I'm sure you have already noticed! We started out with the waterfall shoot, featuring Asia and Kristin in 2013, and followed up with a pool shoot with Mr. ADONIS, and then lakeside with Mariah and Michael in 2014. So far for 2015 we've photographed Adrena at the dam for her senior session, and now here we are again taking in another beautiful watery landscape and this time with the lovely, Brittney! Here are a few images from Brittney's shoot, which I simply called, "LEISURE". Enjoy!

The TRUE Leisure shot!

Sunbathing on the dock...the Cover Pose.

Brittney was excited about shooting with us and she was SO easy to work with! Frame after frame was amazing. It ended up being a fabulously productive day. The weather was perfect and we could not have asked for better. From the dock while the sun was still up, to the water just before the sun started to set, we took full advantage of the time of day and every minute of it.

Sometimes you just have to let your hair down...

Fun shot!

Yep, she is in the water! She never hesitated!

Ms. ADONIA FIT 2015

In late summer 2013, the creative idea came to mind to host a Mr. ADONIS photo shoot. The minute the thought downloaded into my head, I immediately set about determining certain criteria that had to be met before crowning someone with the title. Well, with the success of the Mr. ADONIS 2013 shoot, we had to follow-up with a 2014 installment. After introducing Mr. ADONIS 2014, we received an inquiry from someone asking why we did not host the same for women? Well, to be quite honest, the thought NEVER came to my mind. Since this project has always been MY baby, all of the planning that is involved has always been up to me. So after much thought and consideration, we are finally able to present the female counterpart to Mr. ADONIS with Ms. ADONIA (pronounced /a' dōn ya/) FIT!

Introducing Ms. ADONIA FIT 2015... Jazmyne Johnson! Twenty-one year old Jazmyne is a student athlete and broadcast journalism major from Mississippi State University. Jazmyne is a proud member of the Mississippi State volleyball team (Go Lady Bulldogs!), and in addition to being a standout volleyball player, Jazmyne also enjoys spending quality time with family and friends. Her future endeavors include the possibility of playing professional volleyball, particularly overseas, or becoming a sports broadcaster while completing her Master of Business Administration. She would one day like to coach at the collegiate level, and eventually own and operate her own volleyball club, where she can coach and mentor young girls and teens.

Following this phenomenal photo shoot and standing at an impressive 6 feet tall, she may be able to add one more career possibility to her long list of options... MODELING! She notes, "There is a lot I would love to do in my life, but whatever doors God opens for me, I will accept them with open arms! My family and friends motivate me. They push me to be the best person I can be in life in whatever activity I pursue. They keep me encouraged to go further!" Jazmyne is not only gorgeous, but she has a sweet spirit and there is no doubt she will achieve all that she puts her mind and hard work in to accomplish. Congratulations, Ms. ADONIA FIT 2015!

The Ms. ADONIA FIT shoot also introduces our brand new glam squad leader, Tynita Hunt! We are excited to welcome Tynita (get Polished by Tynita) to the TEAM, and we look forward to her getting our clients "polished" on future shoots. Email her at tynitahunt@gmail.com or follow her on Instagram @MakeupbyTynita for a consultation!

Congratulations again Jazmyne and Welcome Tynita!

Until next time, Peace, Love and Light!

Body Art ... Making a Mark One Drop at a Time

What's in a Tattoo?

Tattoos are a very personal form of creative self-expression. These images of individual interpretation mean many different things to many different people. Some of the artistic designs possess cultural significance, some are adorned as a decorative fashion accessory, others are worn as a special memorial tribute, and yet others represent an emblem of deep conviction. Since getting a tattoo is a matter of choice, regardless of how anyone else feels about body art, those who decide to indulge celebrate in the beauty of being exactly who they want to be...without apology!

The TEAM at Photography by Sean Ponder recently had the opportunity to spend the day with three local award-winning artists: Elisheba Israel, Joe Bostick and Michael Mucker. These skilled innovators have taken their love for art and "All Things Ink", to the human canvas, and on any given day, you can walk into their shop and find them busy at work illustrating beautiful and bold masterpieces that communicate the heart and soul of each of their clients. Their impressive work was definitely worthy of display, so here is just a glimpse of the stunning designs, daring rich color and eye-catching creativity we witnessed the day of the shoot:

If you've been thinking about getting inked for the very first time or you're an old pro looking to feed your addiction, check these three artists out at the One Drop Ink Tattoo Parlour and Gallery, 1106 Ed Temple Blvd, in Nashville, TN. They will take good care of you! Oh and mention you heard about them in our blog!

Until next time, Peace, Love and Light!
