November is the start of the holiday shopping season! Although we are still more Thanksgiving that Christmas, they started the 2016 #imwithsanta events in Tysons Corner Center and surrounding areas. In the same fashion as last year, Santa visited stores and events to start spreading the holiday cheer.

Because Santa is so popular on social media, the hashtag #imwishsanta trended in Tysons! With all of his sightings, this was popular to keep up with where he was in the area. As much as he was approached, he accommodated younger and older with some time. Following a sighting, it was impossible not to get a little more excited for Christmas!

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!

Last Saturday, we photographed the 2016 DC Dance Challenge. Although we were at a new venue, the Westin Alexandria, the room was excellent for photos! After all the dancing, we edited and sorted the photos by numbers worn by gentlemen. To see all the photos, here is the link:

Thank you to Jennifer Bonini for having us cover her event again this year! Previously we have photographed the DC Dance Challenge in many other venues in the area. In addition to staff from Forever Dancing ballroom, they ran a smooth event. Eventually, we will get a list of the award winners from this event. For instance, Top Bronze Student, Top Studio, etc. Then I will make some nice plaques labeled with the awards and one of their images. Be on the lookout for those soon!
