The Plaza – Tysons, VA

Kris Allen returned to Tysons for the 2019 Christmas Tree Lighting event. Prior to this year, he had visited in 2016 at the holidays for the same occasion. Still I don’t think Santa thinks that Kris will be stealing his job anytime soon! In contrast to the last time Kris performed, the weather was markedly colder out on the Plaza.

Plaza Christmas Tree

While the concert was still going on, I walked through the Plaza away from the Concourse. Straightaway you can see the beautiful curving urban design of the space. Previously, I made my favorite image of the Plaza from this fire pit. Although the sky did not have the nice blue color that the original had, I still attempt to get this photo every year. When all the lights on the tree are lit, and combined with the colored light on the Hyatt, it just looks like the holidays in Tysons. So maybe this is a new Christmas tradition for me? What kinds of photos do you look forward to making every year?

On the blog, this is a post about the 2019 Santa Brandbox visit! Since this was the first event with Santa this season, I was excited about catching up. At this time, the BrandBox marketing team wanted to get photos of Santa visiting the stores as they ramp up for the holidays. Concurrently, there are a couple of stores that are not quite ready for opening. Being that Santa is familiar with construction work, he visited some of the new spaces to check on their progress. On a side note, I have a time lapse of the construction of one of the spaces, so maybe Santa will be in a couple of frames! I am excited about being the paparazzo for Santa again this year.

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!
