Monica and Andy

Last month, I photographed a 2018 Mother’s Day event for a new client. The marketing team at Tysons Corner Center referred me to the Monica and Andy location. On this occasion, they wanted to have a photographer set up in their store. Prior to the event, they advertised that you could come and have your photos done with your baby for free!

At this point, I needed to work not only on my portrait skills, but my baby-interaction skills! Being that I do not have much experience with children, this was a stretch for me. While I did some research a few days beforehand, the experience was much more fun than I was expecting! Maybe I was just lucky with the kids that came by, but it was a breeze, and I enjoyed the results. Happy Mother’s Day!

Bloomingdale’s Rug Event

Additionally, I stopped by the rug event happening in a large space in the mall that could accommodate these large pieces. On the whole this was a calming store to photograph. As a matter of fact, rugs are often used for dampening bouncing sound waves in music studios.

2017 Maryland Headshots

Studio Session

Earlier this year, I brought my lighting kit to Studio Arto for a 2017 Maryland Headshots session with some clients. From time to time it is inconvenient for clients to come to Virginia for their studio sessions. So as to accommodate, I found this Studio in Rockville, MD that worked nicely! Although I have my own set, this studio included the lights in the rental fee.

At this time, I had to familiarize myself with the set up in the studio. Prior to my current brand of lights, I had the same Hensel lights that they had set up in the studio. With one light hanging from the ceiling, it was easy to change the background as can be seen in the photos. Comparatively, you can have the gray wall above, or the white below depending on what look you are going for. On one hand, the middle gray can be a little ‘warmer’ looking. But the white background is very clean, and easy to cut out the background if you would like the transparency to use in graphic design documents.

2016 Headshots – Business Portraits

For this post, I wanted to revisit some 2016 Headshots that were all done with a mobile lighting setup. If coming to the studio is not convenient for you or your staff, it is equally possible for me to bring the lighting on location. As an illustration, both of these sessions were done with a mobile lighting setup.

Burke, Virginia

Joe Mjelde is the owner of the Edward Jones Investments office in Burke, VA. When he needed some images to accompany an article on his services, he hired me to get photos in his newly renovated office. Since it was very clean in his office, I incorporated the environment in the images.

Similarly to Joe’s session, I photographed Lakshmi and Ted in a conference room. On this occasion, I was a keynote speaker at a networking group. For my talk, I wanted to do a live demonstration for the purpose of showing my mobile capabilities. Both work nicely to me! Having a clean white background really makes images pop out of white backgrounds as seen here:
