Shore Birds

Woodbridge, VA

Last summer was a great opportunity to photograph shore birds. Some neighbors of my mother built nesting platforms for seahawks at the end of their pier. Along Featherstone Shores large birds will congregate and fly around the area looking for food. With the new nesting platforms, there were osprey that now stayed longer term.

At this part of the river, there are many piers that jut out into the water. With the neighbor having the platforms for the shore birds, I wanted to get a closer look. In the meantime, I took out a camera with me in case there would be a chance for some action.

Quietly, I walked out to the end of the pier, and setup my position for photographing the birds at the nest. Even though I had the longest lens that I own, I was still woefully short! Indeed birding photography requires the longest lenses to get the most outstanding images! While I had this lens racked out to 200mm, you would need something much longer to get the birds properly such as 400mm or 600mm!

Jo and Claro’s Wedding

For Valentine’s Day, here is a post from Jo and Claro’s Wedding. Previously, I posted about an engagement session I did with them in DC. Luckily, they had as beautiful a wedding day weather as they had for their engagement photos. Firstly, I met the bride at the Hilton in Springfield, VA.

Springfield, Virginia

The bride and her bridesmaids were getting ready at the hotel. Later that day, this hotel would be the site for the reception. I started photographing her family and friends there.

Woodbridge, Virginia

Once everyone in the bridal party was ready, we drove to Woodbridge, Virginia for the ceremony. The rest of their friends and family gathered at Our Lady of Angels Church. Straightaway, the festivities began in full! Of course they were having fun getting ready, but joining everyone else brought lots of energy. Because I grew up seeing Claro’s family often, I had a great time photographing all the activties!

Occoquan, Virginia

After the ceremony, we stopped in Occoquan for some bridal party photos. Since it was on the way to the reception site, we had a convenient stop there. This picturesque little town is a beautiful setting especially in the later afternoon. Then, we headed to the big party!

Hilton Springfield Reception

The ballroom was an appropriate venue for these two. Especially since they had their first date at the restaurant in the same building! Dinner, dancing, and lots of photos – it was an awesome day for photos! Congratulations you two – we wish you the best for the future!

Headshots 2015

Business Portraits

Starting a new year starts another round of headshots. Following the resolution of exercise, or healthy eating, updating headshots is high on the list. Equally important to having a strong resume on an application is a clear business-appropriate headshot. Following the statistics, the “About Me” page is one of the most visited of small businesses pages. Because of this, a portrait that will make an impression is very important.

Knowing that this is the case, I take this assignment very seriously. Seeing that updating your professional portrait takes time, and money, sometimes these images are used for years. So I commit to all my clients to work with them to ensure we are getting the results they are looking for. While it is not a guarantee, I do my best. During the shoot, photos are sent right to a computer. Simultaneously, the images are displayed on a large monitor. From there, we can review during the shoot what we are getting. This is a new process for me when making headshots in 2015, and I am pleased with the results. On one hand, it gives the client confidence during the shoot. One the other hand, I am confident that I am producing what they want.

I am also flexible in conducting these sessions. If it is impossible to come to the studio, I can bring a mobile setup to an office. Consequently, you may be able to get more relaxed, natural portraits. Whatever the situation, please let me know if you would like to get a new professional portrait.
