Tysons Corner Center

After all of the activities of Christmas, I wanted to get some 2018 Holiday photos at Tysons Corner Center at blue hour. When I go through the photos in my portfolio, I do not shoot at this time very often. Wheras my shoots are usually inside during this time, I am not usually outside with an opportunity to get photos. It is with this in mind that I went out specifically during twilight to make these photos. Although the marketing team did not have any shoots for me, I still thought this was the best setting to test shoot. It was after Christmas, but the 2018 Holiday decorations were still up on the Plaza.

Lensball

In addition to going out at an unusual time of day, I also tested a new piece of kit that I received as a gift! My in-laws gave me a Lensball which produced a fisheye effect when you point your camera lens through this middle. With the lights still on the tree on the Plaza, I brought out the ultra-clear ball for some unique photos. Happy holidays!

Tysons Corner Center

Christmas Eve is the perfect day to look back on the 2018 Santa Breakfast at Tysons Corner Center. While parents were in the middle of the holiday season, Santa gave them a little break before starting a Sunday of shopping. Similarly to last year, Santa arrived by the train to the 3rd Floor Food Court. While there were some kids in line to get balloon animals and face painting, many came to see the show after his arrival. Those Funny Little People performed some songs and dances, then Santa greeted some kids and families. I stayed with Santa to get one photo of each family as quickly as I could! If you are looking for your images, you can find them at the Tysons Corner Center Facebook page. This is always the busiest event at the end of the year, and really gets me excited to finish my shopping!

Ritz Carlton, Tysons, VA

Earlier this month, I photographed the 2018 Holiday Reception for the Tysons Partnership. Although I have photographed brides getting ready at the Ritz Carlton in Tysons, it was never the reception venue. The ballroom on this occasion was setup for a lot of activities for the event.

In the first place, I want to thank Meghan, Drew, and Ellen from the Tysons Partnership for another year of great photo projects! Given that they work to have unique elements at their events, I really enjoyed the art station. In this case, scraps from construction in Tysons were assembled into an art piece. Because it was white all around, anyone could design the exterior surfaces with markers. It was nice to see Pindar Van Arman creating art not with a robot but with his own hand!
