A family in winter

This awesome family had me come to the shore to take some group photos of all the members together. We had a great time playing and chatting…not only was the day perfect, but the subjects were a lot of fun!

Enjoy!

A Bar Mitzvah Casino

What a way to celebrate your Bar Mitzvah! Oliver, or ‘Revilo’ celebrated with family and friends all night playing in his own casino. Games varied from slots to horse racing, there was a magician and many card games. The kids and adults all had a blast and I think you can conclude that from the sneak peek photos here!

A surprise Engagement

This is so sappy and fun and sweet….love this intimate surprise engagement:

Casey proposes to Amy from One Small Instrument Pictures on Vimeo.

Stereo Waltz Films edits the film into a sweet engagement video for the couple to have to remember that special moment!

January Wedding

It was pretty bitterly cold out the second day of January, but inside there was cheer and warmth when Michelle and Rich said their vows in front of their close family and friends. They had beautiful ceremony and reception with lots of laughter and great music at the classically ornate Belle Haven Country Club. Here’s a sneak peek of their special day:

A Bar Mitzvah to remember!

So every other event and bat mitzvah and bar mitzvah was cancelled this day due to the blizzard that hit the city of DC, but not this one. Despite the weather, lots of friends and family trekked through 2 feet of snow to get to Jack’s Bar Mitzvah and boy, did we had a blast! Have a look, you’ll wish you were there rather than cooped up at home that cold winter night!

Family Photos of a DC kind

This sweet family had me meet them in down town Washington DC so we could take advantage of the amazing sights that exist. The challenge was the chilly weather, other than that, we had some neat lighting, and four fun subjects!

Greater Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Ambassador Event

The Greater Hispanic Chamber of Commerce hired me to come photograph their intimate event where they honored the Ambassador of Ecuador. The event was held at the DC convention center and had several South American Ambassadors as well as the Assistant Secretary of State for the Western Hemisphere. Have a look and tell me what you think!
