Who is this stylist.... Shawn Jon?

One of Boston's Best!

He is definitely making a statement.

His Pro-Touch Hair Magazine is taking hair magazines to the next level.

It is not just pretty images of hair (left, right and top views) on plain backgrounds.

Shawn is creating themes and settings that are just as edgy and bold as his hair styling skills.

........and filling his magazine with all of my images - Now that is style!

Thanks Shawn.

Rodman Ride for Kids 2010 - Alinda is riding 25 miles

2010-09-22T17:24:00.004-04:00

Hi Everyone,

On September 25th, I’ll be riding my fifth year, 25 miles in the Rodman Ride for Kids to support the Family Nurturing Center of Massachusetts (FNC). FNC is a Boston-based non-profit with a 16 year history of providing comprehensive supports to strengthen families and prevent child abuse and neglect.

The reason I’m riding is because I believe that all of Boston’s children deserve to grow up in nurturing, supportive families and communities. FNC provides family support programs to improve the parent and child relationship at all ages and stages of growth, build nurturing skills and knowledge of healthy child development, and connect families to each other, to their community, and to resources.

The Family Nurturing Center is best known for its evidence-based Nurturing Parenting Programs: 12-15 week programs for parents and children to attend together. FNC has spread the Nurturing Philosophy through trainings to other organizations in and around Boston and across the state, but it also offers specialized curricula, including NPs for birth & foster families, pre-natal families, and Cape Verdean families. FNC piloted Boston’s first Nurturing Fathers’ Program and continues to provide multiple parenting programs each year for fathers, even those who are incarcerated.

Another way FNC serves families is through its Neighborhood Circles of Caring in Dorchester, Allston-Brighton, and Roslindale. Working with many community partners, FNC provides Welcome Baby home visits to families with newborns, Parent-Child Playgroups (a model replicated by Boston Public School’s Countdown to Kindergarten), the Parent-Child Home Program, Nurturing Programs, Nurturing Circles Parent Support Groups, and other activities neighborhood residents desire for themselves and their children. For families that are isolated or have few other resources, FNC is often the gateway to many other valuable supports and connections. For more information, see FNC’s website: www.familynurturing.org.

By sponsoring me in the Ride for Kids, you will make a real difference in ensuring that FNC’s important work can continue. Last year, hundreds of companies and thousands of individuals donated over $7 million to the Ride for Kids on behalf of 25 agencies serving Massachusetts children. I hope you’ll join in this year, by sponsoring me at whatever level feels comfortable to you. As a Rider for Team FNC, I am committed to raising $1,000 toward FNC’s $150,000 goal.

Participation in the Ride comes at no cost to FNC or to you. 100% of your donation will go directly to the Family Nurturing Center. On top of that, the Ride for Kids has pledged to add another 10%. For every $100 that you donate, FNC will receive $110 to spend on programs that nurture healthy children and strong families!

The easiest way to support FNC and sponsor me is:
1) Go online to www.familynurturing.org
2) At the Ride logo, click on CLICK HERE, which brings you to FNC’s Ride website.
3) Click on the turquoise Sponsor Rider tab.
4) Type in my name and click Search.
5) Click on my name, and follow the instructions from there!

If you prefer to send a check, please make it out to “Ride for Kids/FNC” and mail it to: Family Nurturing Center, 200 Bowdoin St., Boston, MA 02122. Attn: Ride for Kids/Alinda Bostick

I hope you’ll join in, giving as generously as you can.

Thank you in advance for your support!

by placing a strobe light at about 10:00 in position to where she was sitting.

I absolutely love the results.

It is always a pleasure seeing friends doing what they love to do......

I met Daphne the summer of 1991 in my first year of college
at Hampton University.... and we have been friends ever since.

She is a talented young woman who can sew up the most amazing clothes, cheerlead to victory, absolutely fly around a track, dance like fire, Beautify a face, take great pictures, is an excellent mother and wife, and last but not least always has her home girl's back (me).

Gotta love and be proud of a friend like that.

So many talents! What's next?

Well folks

Alinda is Riding 25 Miles in the Rodman Ride for Kids 2009

2009-08-18T01:01:00.007-04:00

Dear colleagues, friends and family,

On September 26th, I’ll be riding my bike 25 miles in the Rodman Ride for Kids to support the Family Nurturing Center of Massachusetts (FNC). FNC is a Boston-based non-profit with a 15 year history of providing comprehensive supports to strengthen families and prevent child abuse and neglect.

This is my fourth consecutive year riding with FNC and the Rodman Ride for kids. I have enjoyed volunteering for the Roslindale Nurturing Program on my own time, and for FNC in the past few years through the State SERV program. I truly appreciate all of your past support.

The reason I continue to ride is because I believe that all of Boston’s children deserve to grow up in nurturing, supportive families and communities. FNC provides family support programs to improve the parent and child relationship at all ages and stages of growth, build nurturing skills and knowledge of healthy child development, and connect families to each other, to their community, and to resources.

The Family Nurturing Center is best known for its evidence-based Nurturing Parenting Programs: 12-15 week programs for parents and children to attend together. FNC has spread the Nurturing Philosophy through trainings to other organizations in and around Boston and across the state, but it also offers specialized curricula, including NPs for birth & foster families, pre-natal families, and Cape Verdean families. FNC piloted Boston’s first Nurturing Fathers’ Program and continues to provide multiple parenting programs each year for fathers, even those who are incarcerated.

Working with many community partners, FNC provides Welcome Baby home visits to families with newborns, Parent-Child Playgroups (a model replicated by Boston Public School’s Countdown to Kindergarten), Nurturing Programs, Nurturing Circles Parent Support Groups, a Family Literacy Program, and other activities neighborhood residents desire for themselves and their children. For families that are isolated or have few other resources, FNC is often the gateway to many other valuable supports and connections. For more information, see FNC’s website: www.familynurturing.org.

By sponsoring me in the Ride for Kids, you will make a real difference in ensuring that FNC’s important work can continue. Last year, hundreds of companies and thousands of individuals donated over $6 million to the Ride for Kids on behalf of 25 agencies serving Massachusetts children. I hope you’ll join in this year, by sponsoring me at whatever level feels comfortable to you. As a Rider for Team FNC, I am committed to raising $1,000 toward FNC’s $125,000 goal.

Participation in the Ride comes at no cost to FNC or to you. 100% of your donation will go directly to the Family Nurturing Center. On top of that, the Ride for Kids has pledged to add another 15%. For every $100 that you donate, FNC will receive $115 to spend on programs that nurture healthy children and strong families!

The easiest way to support FNC and sponsor me is:

Graphic Design for Wise Men Marketing

As I grow in photography, I also learn more about Photoshop.... It is always a pleasure to work on creative graphic design projects for clients.

These two designs were derived from photos I took at a video shoot for an up an coming R&B singer out of New York - NATHANIEL...

One of the marketing companies requested my services "Wise Men Marketing And Promotions" after seeing the photos I took at the event. We came up with a T-shirt design to promote this company that merged my images of the owner, models, the company logo, textures and some photoshop magic.

My Work Will Be Showcased - Common Boston Exhibit

2009-06-03T22:57:00.018-04:00

The Neighborhood Photography Project

Photographers around Boston were invited to tell the story of what places make a difference in people's lives.

I was asked to explore one of the following neighborhoods: Jamaica Plain, Ashmont, Chinatown, and Fort Point Channel and think of yourself as a photojournalist. A documentary artist. Where are people most connected? Where are they welcome and home?

The goal of this project is to unveil Boston as a city of buildings, streets, and parks with close emotional ties to the diversity of residents and their families who use them.

As a result, some of my work will be showcased

Ashmont Station

and on the Common Boston Website

http://www.cbphotoproject.org/

June 12th-25th

COMMON BOSTON WEEKEND FESTIVAL 2009: June 17-21st

New Project - That Urban / Edgy / Sexy Look

2008-12-14T13:31:00.011-05:00

Last weekend I did a photo shoot for an up and coming modeling agency, that is promoting an Urban / Edgy / Sexy Look.

This shoot was a lot of fun as well as a challenge, with limited space and limited lighting, I was able to capture a variety of poses. After the shoot, I chose to digitally alter several of the photos to heighten the edgy feel of model.

The client tells me he is pleased with the outcome…. and so am I.

Excellent.

Rodman Ride for Kids - My Third Year

2008-09-13T10:33:00.004-04:00

Dear bloggerss, friends and family,

On Saturday, September 27th, I’ll be riding my bike in the Rodman Ride for Kids, to support the Family Nurturing Center. FNC is a “small but mighty” Boston-based non-profit that provides comprehensive support to grow strong children and healthy families and to prevent child abuse. Please consider making a contribution to sponsor me on behalf this great organization! Our team’s goal is to raise $35,000.00. Please help Team FNC!

The reason I’m riding on September 27th is because I believe that all of Boston’s children deserve to grow up in nurturing families. I don’t want to read any more tragic statistics about abuse in the newspaper. I want to do my part to help kids and families succeed, instead.

Participation in the Ride for Kids comes at no cost to the organization or the donor. 100% of your donation will go directly to the Family Nurturing Center. And on top of that, the Ride for Kids expects to add another 15% to whatever amount FNC raises in direct sponsorships. That means that for every $100 that you and my other sponsors donate, FNC will receive $115 to spend on programs that nurture healthy children and strong families!

Family Nurturing Center works with others to build nurturing communities where children are cherished, families are supported, and healthy human development is promoted by all. FNC provides comprehensive, skill-building family support programs to improve the parent/caregiver and child relationship and connect families to each other, to their community, and to resources. FNC is well-known for its evidence-based Nurturing Parenting Programs as well as its neighborhood-based Circles of Caring programs: Welcome Baby, Parent-Child Playgroups, Nurturing Circles Parent Support Groups, Family Literacy activities, and Parent Leadership Training. FNC also provides training and technical assistance to others to spread Nurturing Programs across Massachusetts and Circles of Caring programs throughout Boston neighborhoods. Thank you for supporting us in this year's Ride for Kids!The Rodman Ride For Kids is an umbrella matching gift charity that raises funds for child-related social service agencies in Massachusetts and serves as a catalyst by providing child welfare agencies an opportunity to raise funds through this event. The Ride For Kids and its 25 benefiting agencies fundraise year-round, culminating with the Ride event, when 1,200 cyclists participate in a 25, 50, or 100-mile non-competitive cycling tour on Saturday, September 27, 2008. 100% of the expenses associated with the Ride are underwritten. Since its inception in 1991, the Ride For Kids has raised over $31 million to help at-risk children in Massachusetts.

By sponsoring me in the Ride for Kids, you will make a real difference in ensuring that FNC’s important work can continue. I hope you’ll join in this year, by sponsoring me at whatever level feels comfortable to you.

My personal goal is to raise a minimum of $1,000.00.
The easiest way to sponsor me and support FNC is to go online to: http://www.kintera.org/faf/donorReg/donorPledge.asp?ievent=280554&supId=187993951

Thank you in advance for your support!

Summer Vacation - A Peek Into My Life

2008-09-07T19:07:00.011-04:00

Summers in Bean Town can go by so fast. This year, I took my vacation time and didn't go anywhere. I actually stayed right here and did all of my sight seeing at home. LOL

I had guests visiting from out of town which made it even more rewarding. I was able to take them all around Boston - along with taking pictures of the streets an things that I normally just admire and don't have time to capture on a regular day.

Local Talent Expo

2008-09-04T23:44:00.040-04:00

The Local Talent Expo Experience!

Definately a cool project.

I was invited to shoot a two day modeling talent expo.

It was filled with hair stylists, makeup artists, modeling coaches and a photographer (me)....

Professional Model

This event was for anyone who was interested in learning something about the modeling business, and receiving a taste of what it is like. It was a great experience for me to shoot different people of various skill sets from professional to novice of the modeling industry.

Thank You Local Talent Expo.

I must say even the hair stylist was beautiful.

Aunt and niece alike - Loved the camera.... and the camera loved them.

This little young lady didn't even
want to take her picture, but once I got her to crack a smile she warmed up to the camera like a Pro....

These two cutie pies wanted their pictures taken for sure... LOL

And last but not least, you always have to have the show stopper...... It was her first time, but I beleive she is on her way to being a professional.

Glamour Girl

2008-09-03T19:18:00.009-04:00

This is another one of my beautiful friends, who just had a makeover. I just insisted she let me take some shots. She was so excited with her proofs she said to me "ahhh you made me look like a glamour girl".

I told her she was already beautuful, plus I have a new secret weapon that smoothes the skin to make her look flawless (no fine lines or blemishes can get by me now). Magic.....

So Cute - Head Shots 2

2008-09-03T18:58:00.002-04:00

Coincidently this little girl needed head shots for the same casting call and on the spot I took her photos too.

I am so excited. What a compliment.
