Falls Church, Virginia

Nikolai asked if I could take some graduation photos for him! Being that he has been my go-to assistant for many projects for the last couple of years, I happily made these for him. Prior to his arrival, I had a setup in mind that was at the ready. All of my lighting, and gear was set then mother nature changed things for us! Due to a driving rain, I could not do anything I had planned. Since we are both experienced photographers, we made changes quickly. For this reason, we headed to the forest!

Thankfully, the rain did let up a little. Under the thick leaf coverage of the park, we were somewhat protected. In spite of the rain, I still brought along a large flash outside. It was worth it to get high quality photos of Nikolai in his cap and gown. Although we are not family, I was very proud of his accomplishment. In light of how hard he works both at school, and at his part-time photography, I was amazed at his academic record! He will unquestionably will be successful as he has been in most endeavors so far. Hopefully he’ll take some time to reflect and celebrate it how much he has done already before shooting off to the next level. Congratulations, Nikolai!

Alexandria, Virginia

The holidays came so quickly that I missed blogging about the Frances and Carlo wedding from last fall. Prior to their wedding day, we met for an engagement session in DC. From that shoot, they had a large print made to display at their reception. After meeting Frances at her hotel where she was getting ready, we headed to Alexandria, VA for the wedding ceremony.

The Basilica of Saint Mary

For the wedding, we went to this beautiful church in Alexandria, Virginia. Family and friends packed the aisles in order to celebrate Carlo and Frances. After the wedding, the beautiful fall evening gave us the opportunity for some beautiful portraits outside. The Wilkes Street tunnel was only a couple of blocks away. This is undoubtedly a popular place for portraits in Old Town.

Fort Belvoir, Virginia

Following the important group photos, we drove to Fort Belvoir’s Officer’s Club. Since Carlo is in the Air Force, they had access to this beautiful venue for their reception. Following their sparkler exit, we concluded a beautiful wedding day. Best of luck to both of them as they grow their family!

2017 January Headshots

Tysons, Virginia

As long as I have been making portraits, new year means new inquiries! 2017 January headshots requests are coming in like a needed resolution. Compared to most of my assignments, this the most different. For the most part, many of my subjects do not know that I am there. In other words, being quiet and non-distracting is a goal while I am working. This is surely not the case with headshots.

Although I am currently working on headshots, I am posting these sessions from last year. In general, I have a setup that I like to use that makes headshots flexible for lots of uses. As can be seen in these examples, I photograph you in front of a white seamless background. By and large this will work for most cases since you can easily remove the background.

Similarly, all of these examples are mobile lighting setups. If it is more convenient for your staff, I can bring my setup to where you are to get all the photos in one setting. Moreover, I find that some are more comfortable in their work space already, so it shows in their portraits! I’ll post soon with other examples from the studio for comparison. Happy new year!
