JB Branding Session

Springfield, Virginia

This JB Branding session was a referral from Nam Nguyen. JB is one of his clients, and she was looking to upgrade her personal images. Seeing that these would be used for different purposes, the shoot involved different looks. When I arrived, Nam was finishing with her makeup. For the first setup, we went out to the garden. Since this was one of her passions, she wanted to have action photos of her working there. Due to the beautiful but large tree in her backyard, I brought out a large flash to light up her face. Balancing the flash with the tones of her plants, we had a natural look to these images that don’t look too artificial.

After changing out of her gardening clothes, she put on a solid top. Whenever I do a portrait shoot, I take time for a simple headshot. Because they are useful for many situations, I do this with every subject given that they have the time.

Similar to the gardening photos outside, we made some photos of her arranging flowers inside. In order to make sure she popped out of a very colorful frame, we chose a dark blue top. This color really complimented the colorful flowers!

Washington, DC

Earlier this month, I met Frances and Carlo for an engagement session. Being that they asked me where I would like to meet, this location was my idea. The Lower Senate Park is one of the most picturesque and “DC” places to make photos. Although it is very popular for photo shoots, we were lucky that it was not crowded!

Frances I had met prior to the shoot. She had some very nice plans for their upcoming wedding! While it may be true that the bride does most of the planning, Marco was a great sport. He was in great shape and for this reason I did not hesitate to ask him to do anything physical. Easily he picked her up to illustrate a spontaneous moment! In reality is was all set up, but they played along nicely.

Obviously they were a beautiful couple, but they were easy to work with too. On this occasion the wind became stronger at times. These two just rolled with it! I enjoyed editing these, and really look forward to their upcoming wedding.

Earlier this month, I photographed Aeren Waters at Qui Piece in Baltimore. This shoot marked another progression in Nerea’s fashion career! Previously I have made images of some of her designs. Colorful purses, bags, and accessories are the main products in her line so far. Being that she was also a colleague from the lab branching out into an art business, I am very supportive of her efforts!

On this occasion, she wanted to get some images in front of the Qui Piece store front. Not only will this location now have some of her pieces for sale, but Nerea also teaches some sewing classes here. It was heartening to see her giving back by teaching others to further their skills in fashion!

Although we met in the early afternoon, I still found some good areas for photos. Given that it was overcast for the day, we had some nice even light on her face. I only popped a little fill flash balanced with ambient for a little lift. Best of luck with Nerea for the new store front!
