Sip and Shop – Fairfax Corner

Earlier this month, the Peterson Companies contacted me for a Sip and Shop photography shoot at Fairfax Corner. Because I have done a number of projects for the marketing team there, I looked forward to making these images with them. We met on undeniably the hottest day of the summer so far! Despite the heat and humidity, the models assembled were troopers and did not let the conditions show on their faces.

In the light of newly passed legislation you can now carry alcohol through certain sections of the property. Following the directions on this website, it is possible to enjoy alcoholic beverages in one of the most walkable shopping centers in northern Virginia. Fairfax Corner on the positive side, is very pedestrian friendly. Being that they have many restaurants that are participating, I can see this being very popular! Especially if we have more days that are as hot as the day of this shoot. Thanks to Joanna and Crystan for reaching out and helping me make these fun photos for their advertising!

The photos are expiring from the 2017 USA Dance Mid-Atlantic Championships at the TimeLine Media proofing site. Thanks to everyone that visited the site, and shared the link to the photos! We are grateful for the support and all the nice messages from the dancers. Congratulations to everyone that qualified for Nationals, and for those that were crowned Champions at this event!

Not only is the Bethesda North Marriott a beautiful ballroom, it is a wonderful space in general to hold an event. The large space provided plenty of room for our lighting. At the same time, the warm colored walls helps the colors pop. Also, the organizers added the stadium lighting in the corners highlighting the action on the floor.

As much as I enjoy collaborations on photography projects, I was secretly pleased to photograph this entire event. By concentrating on only the couples that wanted photos of their dancing, I had a better chance of getting all their nice lines on the dance floor. Another benefit is how the final images look. Moreover, the editing was much faster. Owing to being next to the floor all weekend, I got into a ‘rhythm’ of working. With this in mind, I did not have to do as much with the photos after the event. From the feedback I received from customers, it seems they appreciated it too!

2017 Army Retirement

Pentagon

Earlier this year, I photographed a 2017 Army retirement ceremony at the headquarters of the Department of Defense. As a matter of fact, this is a completely new type of event for me to attend. In spite of growing up in northern Virginia, I have never been to the Pentagon except for an elementary school field trip. Indeed, I was excited to get the experience of working in one of the most famous buildings in the world! On this occasion, there was a large number of active military coworkers, and family that were in attendance. The ceremony was a mix of reverence for a successful ending to a career, retirement humor, and family reunion. It was a privilege to be present for such a milestone for someone that served our country with such distinction.

Afterwards, family and friends made plans to meet at the Courtyard Marriott in Woodbridge for a fun reception. Not only did they have a lot of good food and drink, but they had a live band playing all night!
