July 4th with Raven

July 4th marks Independence Day for the United States. It is a time to fellowship with friends and family and enjoy BBQ and fireworks. It was also the date of my recent shoot with Raven in historic Old Town Alexandria. This shoot was fun and allowed me to focus on two props I have never used before. A umbrella and balloon. Overall we had a great time. I hope you enjoy.

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.
