Washington Dulles International Airport

Last year, I photographed an airport birthday! By all means this was the most unique venue where I have attended a celebration. If I had known this was at all a possibility, I would have asked my parents for this every year!

On this occasion, the airport made lots of areas accessible to the event guests. Firstly, we met at a conference room where food, drink and birthday cake were served. While we were there, a representative from the airport gave us a nice presentation on the details of the facility. Afterwards, we started a tour of the airport. As can be seen, the highlight of the tour was viewing planes arriving on the runway from a spot next to the runway! Thanks to Julie and her parents for inviting us to her awesome birthday celebration – it is one to remember!

Tusculum Farm

Last fall, I photographed the 70 Year Celebration for the Carl M. Freeman Companies. Since I had not been to this venue before, I arrived very early for the event. Tusculum Farm in Laytonsville, Maryland was where the employees and their families met for the celebration. This was a particularly beautiful setting for an outside celebration. Again, I was thankful for the referral from current clients for new work!

As the day progressed, there were so many activities for guests to do. There was plenty of food and drink to sample from barbecue to beer trucks. Additionally, there was a cigar specialist that was giving tutorials on smoking cigars with sips of brandy. While walking through the farm, I was impressed with the art pieces that made the place more interesting than the typical farm. Finally, the group photo of all the employees that could make the 70 year celebration capped a great Freeman Day at the Farm.

2017 Retirement Ceremony

Fort Myer, Virginia

Last October, I photographed a 2017 Army Retirement Ceremony at Fort Myer. Although I have lived close by in northern Virginia, I have never attended this ceremony before. Obviously, I was more than a little nervous since I did not know what to expect. Firstly, just getting to the event site took some time since this is an active military base. The boundaries of the base are up against Arlington, Virginia, but this is a secured facility that had strict entry procedures. Once inside the base, the biggest crowd of people and visitors was going to this ceremony, so I followed the crowd.

Thankfully, I was referred this event by a previous client. It is impossible not to feel pride in your country while attending this ceremony. Viewing the professionalism, and dedication of active service members while in their home base shows their detailed preparation in all their tasks. Moreover, the retirees should be proud of their hard work that they put in service to our nation. Best of luck in your next opportunities!
