Cephus Selected to Photograph President Barack Obama!!!!

This weekend, I was selected to photograph President Barack Obama for Dr. Harvey of Hampton University.  I was one of two photographers (White House Press Photographer Peter Souza) that had photographed Dr. Harvey’s family, along with official dignitaries.   I was truly an honor and an opportunity of a lifetime!!!!!!  Just want to take the time to thank Dr. Harvey and his lovely family, the White House staff, Dr. Danley and the awesome staff at Hampton University!!!!

Keith, God is opening so many versatile doors for you. I am happy for you! I love the black and white touch – some of them resemble the 60′s. The last photo was the icing on the cake :> -always in the background, while bringing your beautiful touch for capturing life to the forefront. Love you and Nadine. May God continue to bless your labor.
