2019 Giving Back – Tysons Partnership

Ruth’s Chris, Tysons, VA

These photos were from the 2019 Giving Back event, the last one covered for the Tysons Partnership this year. Compared to their large holiday reception, this was a smaller gathering at Ruth’s Chris Steak House. It was not, however, smaller in enthusiasm as their crowd was full of holiday spirit. Christmas sweaters were encouraged and unsurprisingly many took advantage!

Thanks again for the Tysons Partnership for having me cover events for them this year! Now that the year is over, I am reviewing the photos from the blog. Overall, I think I delivered on what they were expecting from me, and I hope the Partnership finds the images useful. However, I am very grateful to have had access to their panels, forums, and being in the rooms where Tysons is taking shape. Whenever you stand on top looking down from a new tower, or drive through a newly developed neighborhood, it makes me appreciate the effort to get there. Meghan, Ellen, Ronit, Drew, and Sol, thanks for your support! I hope you have a great holiday season, and I’ll see you for more projects in 2020.

2018 Santa Ride

After talking with MPO Vazquez at the First Responders Day at Tysons Corner Center, he invited me to cover the 2018 Santa Ride. A few days ago, this ride was done by officers from the Fairfax County Police Department, and the Town of Vienna police. Since I can count on one hand how many times I have even been inside a police station, this was a completely different experience for me! Moreover, this was the 30th anniversary of this event which meant a lot of participation from many officers on this cold morning.

Initially, we started at the Vienna Police station. The group of motorcycle officers from Fairfax arrived in Vienna. They stopped for breakfast and to pick up the Vienna officers that were joining. Afterwards, we all got into vehicles and made a caravan to schools in Tysons, Fairfax, and Reston. Being that this was my first time riding in a police car with lights and sirens, I enjoyed the experience! Since I was specifically assigned to the Vienna police, I made sure to focus on their officers. They were interacting with the school kids throughout the day passing out candy canes during their stops. Of course there were other Christmas characters from Santa, Mrs. Claus, Rudolf and Frosty that also came with us. Undoubtedly this would have been one of my favorite days during school just before Christmas break!

In addition to the schools, we also visited the Fairfax County Government Center. While the kids were excited to see the spectacle, all of the County supervisors were also supportive. To see more of the photos, please visit the Town of Vienna Facebook page.

This 2019 Lumen Rooftop shoot was done for the Tysons Partnership. Because their mission is to coordinate efforts among partners to guide the development of the area, these would work nicely for them. From the top, you have a panoramic view of the surrounding area.

2019 Lumen Rooftop

While I have been making images for years in Tysons, this was a perspective that did not exist previously. From here I could see Tysons Corner Center where I photographed so many events from the Plaza. Additionally, you can see the Arthur Murray in Tysons and the McLean Hilton where I base the majority of my ballroom dance shoots. Overall it was a privilege to have this kind of access. Thanks to Rob from HOAR Construction who escorted us to the unfinished rooftop! Additionally thanks to the Tysons Partnership for reaching out and initiating this project.
