2019 Yappy Hour

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.

Snappy Hour and Wounded Warriors

Tysons Corner Center

Earlier this month I photographed the Snappy Hour and Wounded Warrior Project event at the Santa HQ in Tysons Corner Center. The evening following the opening ceremony of the set was reserved for the Wounded Warrior Project. Having this time specified for injured veterans and their families was very accommodating so they could spend some time in the set without a crowd waiting in line for them.

Snappy Hour

Another event that week was the Snappy Hour held at the Santa HQ set. In contrast to the kids that are usually the visitors, this event focused on adults looking to network with drinks and eats from Earl’s. Furthermore with Santa hanging around, it was perfect for ‘snapping’ some Instagrams!

Models in Residence

It is so nice to have portrait models around all the time to practice! We have been dog sitting and I have taken the opportunity to make lots of images of our two visitors. They are half-sibling mini dachshunds, and are two of the easiest subjects to photograph. I have known a few dachshunds, and these two are the most un-dachshund like I have met. Not terribly territorial, or very loud. They do like their walks, and chasing squirrels. Luckily for the camera, they like their down time. I dragged out some flashes and lenses and tried some things while they were available. Max is up first – he kept me from working the most during the week! The weather is not as great out there, but I hope you make some nice photos this weekend too.

Busy week coming up! I am going to some events this weekend to edit. Then next Saturday is the Arthur Murray Fall Showcase – our last event that we will cover for them this year. It will be great to see the new routines that the dancers and instructors have been working on these last few months. The photos will be posted to the proofing site as usual. Also stay tuned for some exciting new for your holiday gift shopping!
