Tysons Corner Center

Rising from the Plaza at Tysons Corner Center, their large Christmas tree was a focal point this holiday season. Once the holiday market tents were built, and the tree put in place, the crowds started to gather. Finally it was time for the 2015 Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony!

Earl’s – Tysons, VA

Whereas Earl’s ice rink on the Plaza was a place to play and cool off, their restaurant warms you up. After all the skating, the inviting bar at the Earl’s adjacent to the Plaza is a perfect meeting spot.

Soon, the ceremony was ready to begin. Chilli Amar, and Loo Katz of 97.1 WASH-FM met Santa at the ice rink. Doug Hill came to give us good weather predictions for the night. Elliott Yamin sang some holiday favorites and the tree was lit!

Tysons Corner Center

Christmas Eve is just around the corner! With this in mind, it is appropriate for some Santa photos from the 2015 Santa Breakfast on the blog. Although I have come across a few versions of the big guy, the one at Tysons Corner Center is the real deal! As well as being patient with all the work obligations, he continues to do an amazing job every year.

In addition to the Santa Breakfast, there were many sightings of him around the mall this year. In order to open the Santa HQ, where is sat for may family portraits this holiday season, there was an opening ceremony for the set. When he opened the set, a band played, Tommy McFly from Fresh FM opened the set, and gifts were given out. Merry Christmas!

This time, they had a beautiful holiday-theme red curtain as a background. At first I was not sure if this would work for the photos. Given that is becomes much brighter in my strobe flashes, I thought it would be too similar to the dancers. However, I think it worked nicely!

Overall, red is a color that pops from digital camera sensors. Although that is usually a good thing, I was worried it would overwhelm here. However, I think it worked very well! Being that it was the holidays, the red fit the event theme, and it was a complimentary background to many of the dresses. Thanks to Marielle and Carlos for inviting us this year!
