Leukemia and Lymphoma Society

Earlier this month I photographed the 2018 MWOY Grand Finale for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. By all means, this was the largest event I have ever covered! Thankfully, I did not have the responsibility completely on my own. In this case, I was a member of a team. We split the areas correspondingly to make sure all aspects of the evening were covered.

Prior to attending, I had no experience with any of the events from the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. With attention to their mission of raising money for research into blood cancers, I was inspired by the energy in the room! Moreover the amount of money they raised over the campaign together will do amazing work to find needed cancer treatments.

Nikolai Graduation

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!

Thankful holiday time

Reflecting on this 2016 Christmas Day, I am nothing but thankful. In short, my family is happy and healthy which is all you can ask for. Moreover, I am so fulfilled with my photography career. Over this year as I have noted, there have been new projects, new clients, and thousands of new photos.

All in all, making new photos is the best part about this career. You challenge yourself to make something unique, and to get into new events. Especially since I do not consider myself the most aggressive marketer, I am thankful that people have found me. Moreover, I appreciate my current clients that come back for repeat business.

Even if I were to say that I am content with my scheduled clients, I am still looking to do even more next year. I’ll keep myself available, and continue to be a presence in the Tysons, Virginia area for assignments. In any case, I am so thankful for you blog readers that follow along. Please reach out if you have any ideas for photo projects in the new year!
