BHS recently had a contest for Teen Read Week, and the prize was a celebrity portrait shoot and custom READ poster to be hung on the media center wall with the other Celebrity READ posters. I was asked if I’d do the poster for them, and I was happy to say yes! I love this kind of work. The contest involved the student body writing a short report on their favorite book. The media center staff chose 10 from each of the 4 grades, and hung the reports on the wall for the student body to vote for their favorite. Eckho won with her report of the story The Million Dollar Bear, a story her mother read to her when she was small. It’s about a teddy bear worth a million dollars that was kept in a vault, but the bear longed to be loved for who he was. With such a cute girl and story to work with, we thought it would be fun to work with the theme of the book.

The poster is 2 feet wide by 3 feet tall, framed, and is currently on display in the BHS Media Center, so if you’re in the area, stop by and check it out

Congratulations Eckho!!!

This was such a fun shoot. We did this at their home and it went from traditional portraits to very unusual! They had a trampoline – it was getting dark – they were up for anything – so was I! Check it out… play button lower left.
