The Different Sides: Sonia

Sonia has many different interest. By day she is a leading sales representative for a large Pharmaceutical company in the DC area. But after work is when you really see what makes Sonia tick. Sonia enjoys many things which include fashion, reading, cooking and playing with her dogs; Nate and Buffy. For this shoot we decided to focus on Sonia's different sides and incorporate them into how they make Sonia who she is. The shoot took place in McClean, VA and came out well. I hope you enjoy.

Zoe and Skyler: Birthday

There is nothing more precious than witnessing different milestones in your children's life. This past Sunday we celebrated the birthdays of my two daughters Zoe and Skyler. Zoe was celebrating her 5th birthday and Skyler was celebrating her 1st. The day was filled with hosting guests, serving food and playing with the kids. However I did get a chance to grab my camera and capture a few moments throughout the day. Overall the day was priceless and I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Alexandria Skate Park

Today I visited the Alexandria Skate Park found 5 minutes from Old Town Alexandria on Duke St. The park was filled with kids ranging from 5 to 20 years of age working on becoming the next Tony Hawk. Time after time most fell but got back up until they perfected the different moves they were working on. It was very exciting to see these moves in person for the first time and the boarders were nice enough to let me capture a few shots. I hope you enjoy the pictures.

The Wilkersons: Family

Courtney and Denise have been friends for years. Courtney and I go all the way back to FAMU where we have been frat brothers for over 10 years. I have had the pleasure through out the years to witness their wedding, the birth of the their first child Ashley and eagerly anticipate the new addition due this Fall. When they asked me to do a session of their family I was very happy and we had a great time. We shot the photos at Brookside Gardens in Silver Spring, MD. This location is tucked away but has so much to see and enjoy for all families. I definitely recommend this location for all photographers. I hope you enjoy the photos.

HDR Shoot 2: U Street Washington DC

I first tried my hand at HDR photos about a month ago. Please see my first post from April. Yesterday I decided to go out for a second time and try my hand at HDR photos again. I decided to go shoot on U street in NW D.C. I have loved the U street corridor since moving to the DC Metro area in 2003. It is a collection of restaurants, lounges, clubs and everything else your heart can desire for fun. From the Historic Ben's Chili Bowl to Bus Boy and Poets this area offers so much to so many. My wife and I have enjoyed dining at Eatonville and grabbing a cocktail at Alero which is part of the Ellington building. There is so much to offer to all people. I hope you all enjoy.
