Tysons Corner Center

A couple of weeks ago, I covered the 2019 Santa Breakfast at Tysons Corner Center. Similarly to last year, there was a big crowd at the Food Court on Level 3. Santa got all the attention as he arrived by train. Also, Those Funny Little People performed a show while kids made it over to Santa. Although there were no formal photos with Santa while he was sitting in his set, there were still plenty of photos made while he was there. Meanwhile, there were many lined up for face painting and balloon animals. Kelly and Tommy from the Tommy show hosted the program, and they made sure all the vendors that participated were highlighted. Overall, I enjoyed the B8ta table. They had a combination of technology and STEM learning puzzles on display. I’m sure some Christmas ideas were found there!

2019 Holiday Reception – Tysons Partnership

Lumen at Tysons

Earlier in December, I photographed the 2019 Holiday Reception of the Tysons Partnership. The beautiful Lumen above all the other heights over Tysons was the venue. Compared to the last time I was in the penthouse, I was thankful that all the walls were now up. Certainly, I could enjoy the view! Although it was very cold outside, a few guests ventured out on the patios to take in the panoramas.

Holiday Reception

At the entrance to the Lumen, Wolf Trap Animal Rescue had puppies to play with while waiting for the elevators. Since there were many floors in between the puppies and the penthouse reception, I needed help. Thankfully Jae and Nikolai were available in order to catch all the events going on. Rather than rely on the fading sunlight for flower wall photos with the puppies, I set up one large flash for the room. In this case it worked well as the demand for puppy time did not wane for most of the night!

Prior to finishing up for the evening, I checked in upstairs. I made a few more photos especially the HOAR Construction team, local politicians, and other familiar faces. The Lumen was as illuminating on the inside as well as the outside!

Tysons Corner Center

Last week, I photographed more cute dogs at the BrandBox 2019 Holiday Puppies event in Tysons Corner Center. Similarly to the last event with the Wolf Trap Animal Rescue, you had an opportunity to cuddle with puppies! In contrast to last time, the pet area was out in the middle of the hallway as the BrandBox lounge has made way for another store opening soon. Being so close to the holidays, there were Christmas trees surrounding the area, and Santa made an appearance. Another set of dogs were available for people to pick up, cuddle, and put on the list for Santa. It is so heartening to see the work that the members of the WTAR put into caring for these dogs!
