Awards plaques

I am currently working on finishing the award plaques from the recent 2013 DC Dance Challenge. This event from last month had some great participation from all the dancers. However there were a few that were recognized for their technique in their categories. Although we could not provide plaques for the dancers to take home from the Ronald Reagan Building that evening, I think the results are better now. This is due to me having edited all the photos for the event for color and exposure. The photos that are used from the plaques are made from photos that were made at the event on the dance floor or the surrounding area at the venue.

I am much more pleased with how these have turned out since they are produced at the same lab that I send print and album orders. The quality of the print is just as good as these since they are optical prints from the digital files, not prints from an ink jet printer. If you see these plaques up close, you can tell the difference. They will last much longer than ink jet prints, and have much better contrast and saturation of color. Here is a scan of one that is completely assembled.

The picture is mounted onto a wooden frame, and mounted underneath a clear plastic. The plaque is cut on the back with some holes for easy mounting to the wall. I really like how these come out, and I hope the dancers like the presentation. It’s a great way to show off their accomplishments!

Fall Engagement photos

When the season start to change from Summer to Fall in northern Virginia, we are so lucky to have some beautiful light outside to make photos. These two asked me to make some engagement photos prior to their wedding next summer. With the sun going down earlier in the day, and the weather being a little milder, it was a perfect time to have a nice portrait session. Green Spring Park in Annandale, VA is a beautiful backdrop for photos. There is a lots of green areas, flowers, as well as structures that are perfect settings for all kinds of photos.

The 18th century historic home has beautiful red bricks and green shutters that are looks like printed backgrounds that photographers roll out in studios. Having the real thing to work with is much better! Although I was disappointed that a very large tree at the back of the house did not survive the last winter. But even the stump makes a great seat!

If you have any reason to get some family or other portraits, please let me know! It is very close to the holidays, a great time to update family photos. I know I will be making a lot of new ones this year.

Dachshunds and Autumn Leaves

“When autumn leaves start to fall…”

Our backyard is in need of some maintenance. We are lucky to have so many nice shade trees in the summer, that turn to beautiful golden trees in the fall. Now we have to get a much of these off our lawn before it kills our grass! Luckily, we have two helpers that are visiting us for the week, and we need all the help we can get.

Yes, they may not be much helping moving the debris to the pickup point at the front of the house, but they do give you some nice company while working. And they don’t mess up any leaf piles too much!

They were so good, we took them on a walk afterwards. So many new surroundings to explore, and of course, more leaves to inspect.

I am confident they were also keeping any reptilian creatures in the woods away from us! Hope you are enjoying the not too cold autumn weather. There are still photos that I am working on, so I will be busy the next week completing those. We have finished the editing and sorting of our largest ballroom dance events, and you can see all those photos at the proofing website.
