The Palm Restaurant

Earlier this month was the Volta Reception by the Tysons Partnership. Another Tysons summer brings another Cirque Du Soleil show to the area! In this case, the show is based around extreme sports. Prior to the opening of the show, this reception was held at the Palm Restaurant in Tysons. Similarly to last year’s reception, the outdoor area outside the Palm was set up for their event. Moreover it was another beautiful evening before walking out to the big top!

Once in a while, you will make mistakes in your career. With this in mind, I have to come clean about a big one that I made. Although they gave me plenty of notice of a date change, I did not make it on my calendar. Luckily, I could rearrange my schedule at the last minute. In spite of missing the first part of the reception, I was able to cover most of the important parts. I was thankful for their understanding, but I learned some important lessons! To be sure, I worked to stay on their good side. I’ll be on top of all the details next time!

1st Half 2019 Studio Headshots

Fairfax, Virginia

Today, I am recapping the 1st Half 2019 Studio Headshots that I did not yet add to the blog. At first is Terri who was looking for new headshots as she ran for a local board. Being that we met while working at TEDxTysons events, it made sense that she was looking to run for the McLean Community Center board. With this in mind, her simple black top keeps the frame non-distracting. Especially since these photos will likely be small on a webpage, having the face be the focal point is very important. This is how most headshots are viewed these days.

Mary and her family own an HVAC company. Every week at our business networking group, Mary consistently talks about her expanding capabilities at her business. After producing some standard background headshots, I asked her if she had a favorite color. Purple was her choice, so of course, I did my best to get a nice purple in the background. In this case, I did it in camera, not in Photoshop! Using gels like in theater lighting, I changed the light gray background to purple. It is always fun to play in the studio!

Finally, we have Lyndon, a low key showman! During the day, he is a capable health insurance professional. On the weekends, he is an awesome event DJ! He has a great voice that really carries well over a microphone. Also, his years of experience in selecting music and playing for party crowds makes him a great addition to your reception. I hope to run into him at a wedding someday!

Earlier this year, Gift Hughes contacted me to photograph her at a live TV studio. On this occasion, she was going to present on a segment during Let’s Talk Live about the upcoming Miss Cosmos USA pageant. Since we first met at an earlier fashion shoot, I have seen Gift at many events in the area. Not only does she do a lot of modeling, but she is a busy realtor in a very busy market around DC.

For the most part, this TV studio was a very quiet work area. Since they have a lot of shooting areas and an open office area, it was important to not make too much noise. However, since there were a lot of sets with lighting already set for video segments, there were plenty of opportunities for photos. Gift was there to promote the upcoming Miss Cosmos USA pageant. She was dressed in her 2018 crown and a beautiful purple gown. We took the opportunity to get photos in all the branded spaces before leaving after the show.
