Fairfax, Virginia

Earlier this month, the Peterson Companies contacted me for a Sip and Shop photography shoot at Fairfax Corner. Because I have done a number of projects for the marketing team there, I looked forward to making these images with them. We met on undeniably the hottest day of the summer so far! Despite the heat and humidity, the models assembled were troopers and did not let the conditions show on their faces.

In the light of newly passed legislation you can now carry alcohol through certain sections of the property. Following the directions on this website, it is possible to enjoy alcoholic beverages in one of the most walkable shopping centers in northern Virginia. Fairfax Corner on the positive side, is very pedestrian friendly. Being that they have many restaurants that are participating, I can see this being very popular! Especially if we have more days that are as hot as the day of this shoot. Thanks to Joanna and Crystan for reaching out and helping me make these fun photos for their advertising!

2017 Army Retirement

Pentagon

Earlier this year, I photographed a 2017 Army retirement ceremony at the headquarters of the Department of Defense. As a matter of fact, this is a completely new type of event for me to attend. In spite of growing up in northern Virginia, I have never been to the Pentagon except for an elementary school field trip. Indeed, I was excited to get the experience of working in one of the most famous buildings in the world! On this occasion, there was a large number of active military coworkers, and family that were in attendance. The ceremony was a mix of reverence for a successful ending to a career, retirement humor, and family reunion. It was a privilege to be present for such a milestone for someone that served our country with such distinction.

Afterwards, family and friends made plans to meet at the Courtyard Marriott in Woodbridge for a fun reception. Not only did they have a lot of good food and drink, but they had a live band playing all night!

2017 Christmas in July

Tysons Corner Center

It is just about time for a 2017 Christmas in July post! It has been a couple of years since I made such a strange article on the blog. Given that I photograph in and around Tysons Corner Center so frequently throughout the year, I do not have to waste too much time pre-planning for photos.

Seeing that I am an introverted soul like many photographers, this kind of assignment I relish. Primarily, the branding of sponsors on the ice rink, the Hyatt balcony, and the other holiday advertising was the focus. However, this evening was particularly lucky in terms of twilight.

2017 Christmas in July

During another exterior photo session, I really lucked out with the clouds. In the hope of getting some nice sunset light on the buildings, I headed out in the late afternoon. On this occasion, my patience was rewarded as the light during sunset was spectacular! I could not have asked for a more perfect combination of clouds and color. I think these images will be useful for so many uses around the Tysons area.
