Tysons Corner Center

Earlier in the season, I photographed the 2019 Yappy Hour at the Santa HQ set at Tysons Corner Center. Previously, there has not been a chance to bring your pets in for photos. On this occasion, it was fun to see the dogs and their reactions to the Santa HQ set. Not only are there a lot of sounds, and noises, but I am sure the smells of the season really got them excited. Given that some children take a couple of years to get comfortable visiting with Santa, it was not a surprise to see all the hesitation from the dogs. Seeing Santa handle them with the same gentleness as a newborn, he got them all to sit for a few photos. Compared to some babies, the dogs were a little easier to wrangle for the camera! There will be a lot more new fur baby photos by the Christmas stockings this year.

2019 Giving Back – Tysons Partnership

Ruth’s Chris, Tysons, VA

These photos were from the 2019 Giving Back event, the last one covered for the Tysons Partnership this year. Compared to their large holiday reception, this was a smaller gathering at Ruth’s Chris Steak House. It was not, however, smaller in enthusiasm as their crowd was full of holiday spirit. Christmas sweaters were encouraged and unsurprisingly many took advantage!

Thanks again for the Tysons Partnership for having me cover events for them this year! Now that the year is over, I am reviewing the photos from the blog. Overall, I think I delivered on what they were expecting from me, and I hope the Partnership finds the images useful. However, I am very grateful to have had access to their panels, forums, and being in the rooms where Tysons is taking shape. Whenever you stand on top looking down from a new tower, or drive through a newly developed neighborhood, it makes me appreciate the effort to get there. Meghan, Ellen, Ronit, Drew, and Sol, thanks for your support! I hope you have a great holiday season, and I’ll see you for more projects in 2020.

2019 Santa Breakfast

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!
