Source Energy
I have two types of energy.
One is physical;
and the other is mental and spiritual.
The latter is by far the more important,
for from the spiritual energy
I can draw vast power and strength
in my time of need.
Dance Circle
At the scene called Sunday Service,
I’m so delighted I’ve got a spot
I can ‘put my hand on my hip and let my backbone slip.’
An additional pleasure is seeing photographs at every turn.
This child’s face of concentration lights the center
of a passionate crowd of dancing grownups.

Wiser
It started innocently enough: Someone has liked your post!
When I clicked the link,
the address was missing one letter:
Proofreader Me, thinking it was a mistake,
typed what I thought was the corrected address.
My laptop exploded with flashing blue screens
telling me that it was locked now,
and only their ‘expert’ could help me retrieve my data again.
Needless to say, after coloring the air blue with a few choice phrases,
(and an apology to Artist for them!)
I went about reclaiming my laptop, from where I’m posting!
After I’d had time to think,
it made me a little sad.
I always like to give the person
the benefit of the doubt,
and this person may not know
his site had been corrupted.
But I also would not be surprised
if he was part of the spidery web
of wanna-be hackers
wasting their God-given gifts in this way.
But if this causes one reader
to be alert for this image, this WP address,
and this ‘trick’, then it is worth it.
All the best to all of us
who strive for honest, connected communication.

Conga Line
I love the conga line!
My cameras do, too!
It’s a dance the shy can do,
and the bolder ones can do with flair!
Group dancing is great for social skills practice
and positive social experiences,
a dance at a time!
Enjoy your events: Let me take the photos!

Stay
In birthdays past,
I have posted lists of things
I wish to accomplish,
or something I hope
may be of interest to you as well.
This birthday, I simply ask to
stay grounded in reality.
My skill is capturing photos of family and connection in beauty
that will stay fresh and vital for years to come.

Before
A moment before
the official portrait,
another one
was already there.
(Portrait by Chris Levine.)
If I can help record your legacy (and personality!), let’s talk here.
This is Why
To witness the moment in photographs.
To record the beautiful grace of infancy.
To remember the elders, travelling to see their new young one.
To document time, place, and reality for the future.
To make good energy visible for the home.
To celebrate the two, becoming three.
To honor the spirit of family.
This is why.
If I can help record your family legacy with fine lifestyle portraits, I welcome your inquiry at http://www.dorothyperry.com/contact/.
Personal-ity
Sometimes I make my own version of ‘royal portraits’ as artistic or memorial art. I take commissions in whatever you want them to wear (smile.)
Dorothy Perry is a Chicago photographer of custom family portraits, including four legged ones. Start here.
I Love What I Do
Love what you’ve done!
These words usually accompany a new hairdo or living room design.
But this was the response from a father, freshly grieving the loss of his only son,
viewing what I created from the candid image he sent me.
These natural words really meant a lot to me on an emotional level,
knowing what this picture meant to him.
I love what I do
in creating something personal and special for those who are bereaved:
remembering and honoring their loved ones in contemplative art.
If this idea ‘sparks’ a feeling for the need
to see a treasured photo transformed into a memorial portrait,
I would love to help make it a reality.
May your loved one’s memory be a blessing.
