2019 Holiday Reception – Tysons Partnership

Lumen at Tysons

Earlier in December, I photographed the 2019 Holiday Reception of the Tysons Partnership. The beautiful Lumen above all the other heights over Tysons was the venue. Compared to the last time I was in the penthouse, I was thankful that all the walls were now up. Certainly, I could enjoy the view! Although it was very cold outside, a few guests ventured out on the patios to take in the panoramas.

Holiday Reception

At the entrance to the Lumen, Wolf Trap Animal Rescue had puppies to play with while waiting for the elevators. Since there were many floors in between the puppies and the penthouse reception, I needed help. Thankfully Jae and Nikolai were available in order to catch all the events going on. Rather than rely on the fading sunlight for flower wall photos with the puppies, I set up one large flash for the room. In this case it worked well as the demand for puppy time did not wane for most of the night!

Prior to finishing up for the evening, I checked in upstairs. I made a few more photos especially the HOAR Construction team, local politicians, and other familiar faces. The Lumen was as illuminating on the inside as well as the outside!

Affordable Housing – Tysons Partnership

Freddie Mac, McLean, VA

Prior to Thanksgiving, I photographed an Affordable Housing event for the Tysons Partnership. As much as I relish photographing the soaring towers that are changing the skyline, having access to housing is an important issue that does not get as much attention. It was important to realize that this was part of the Comprehensive Plan for Tysons.

This was another event in which the Partnership exposed me to a new venue in Tysons. The Freddie Mac headquarters is another high-tech building among a sprawling campus of buildings. On this occasion there were panels and speakers presenting ideas to achieve the housing goals of the Comprehensive Plan. Afterwards, the attendees broke into groups to start hashing out some of the details. Of course, this is not something that would be solved in one meeting. However, this was a very tangible look at the process of how collaborations like this will create a future community!

2019 Tysons Tailgate – Tysons Partnership

Valo Park, McLean, VA

Last month, I photographed the 2019 Tysons Tailgate at Valo Park. Since it was the 4th annual edition, the Tysons Partnership team put together another well-attended and fun event! Compared to the downpour that dampened some of the spirits last year, they had amazing autumn weather for an evening outside.

2019 Tysons Tailgate

In case you have not seen my previous events for the Tysons Partnership, know that I enjoy working for them. Of course they have some of the most well-attended Tysons events. Also, their members enjoy having their photos taken, and they come to events wanting to build the next great city. Moreover the Tysons Partnership team works very well together. Although you cannot see in these photos, there were some big challenges to overcome this evening. With little time to come up with solutions, they pulled it off while not letting it show on their faces. It only makes me want to work harder to show off their efforts with awesome photos!
