I met up with Jamilla and Marwan at the Jefferson Memorial early Easter Sunday morning. It was an absolutely glorious day. Warm sunshine and summer like weather. The rest of the world was clued in to this fact as well and there were lots and lots of people out at 7:30 in the morning to view the Cherry Blossoms. We navigated through muddy grass and tour bus crowds to try to capture the personalities of Jamilla and Marwan along with the the feel of Washington DC, the Cherry Blossoms and the spring like weather. It was quite a challenge to keep other folks out of the background but thanks to the patience and good natured spirits of this couple we pulled it off. I’m looking forward to being their wedding photographer in May.
I had a really fun departure from my normal wedding photography and engagement sessions recently. I did a portrait session for Shahrzrad, a professional belly dancer in the Washington DC Metro area. She performs in Northern, Virgina, DC, Baltimore and points north and also teaches classes. In addition, she’s a huge fan of the old Pin-Up style portraits. Here are a few of my favorites:

I don’t do a lot of pet photography, but I was asked by my good friend Nicci to take some photos of her golden retriever. We found a field of daffodils and let the dog run around with some new friends. The Cujoe photo at the end is kind of funny, don’t ya think? They really weren’t being vicious but contrary to popular belief the camera does sometimes lie!

I recently had the pleasure of taking maternity photographs for Lena and her husband Roderick. Although they are already married (I was referred by their wedding planner – Shelby Tucker -Horton of Exquisite Expressions), I swear, it seemed more like an engagement session at times. They are clearly in love! Always fun for a photographer. Pregnancy is treating Lena well – she looks quite beautiful!

Recently I did a maternity shoot for Christina and Dave. Yesterday, I had the pleasure of photographing their nine day old newborn son. He was an amazingly cooperative little boy and I’ll be he slept well last night! We also had a little help from Grandma and Aunt Cindy.
