On Monday I had the honor of photographing an event that was part of the international Women Deliver conference. It was sponsored by Save the Children and they shared some amazing films that are part of the Living Proof Project.
If you are interested in international health issues, especially in maternal & newborn health, you must check all these organizations out. They are at the forefront of promoting best practices and research. I was blown away by the passion and knowledge the speakers had for the subject and the fantastic work they are doing in so many places, including here in the US.

Cherry blossoms in DC! Sounds like a killer time to have your picture taken – and it was! A million other people thought so too…. We were not deterred – crowds or not Sara & Eric worked it out and we had an amazing time among the masses as we photographed them for their e-session. Their engagement shoot took place in our nations capital at the peak of the Cherry Blossom Festival. DC was alive with people, sounds and the business that makes Washington an awesome place for photographs! While we made sure we incorporated the cherry blossoms, we also made sure we hit all the spots that make Washington what it is – the Washington Monument, Jefferson Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, the Reflecting Pool and even the WW II Memorial. Sara & Eric were up for the challenge and we all had an awesome adventure as we got lost among the history and streets of the capital. Oh yeah, we took a few pics too. Here’s a few of my favs!

Washington, DC is a very popular location for engagement, wedding and Day After Sessions with Ever After Visuals. As part of our wedding photography collections, you not only hire two wedding photographers, who specialize in wedding photojournalism or capturing the emotion of the moment, you are hiring wedding photojournalist who LOVE to work in DC.
This can be a challenge for a VA wedding photographer who only works in Virginia. Day After Sessions are some of our favorite though because typically our couple is at their most relaxed and have the opportunity to make fantastic images. Jean Pierre is soon to be a pilot. When he asked us if we could incorporate some images with a plane, we were thrilled to have this unique opportunity.
It was blue skies and sunshine all day with Jean Pierre and Eneida for their ‘Day After’ Session. We watched as Jean Pierre held Eneida while the sun made it’s way to the horizon line and the moon made it’s appearance, bringing with it the most beautiful sunset among the twilight. We know that as more days go by, Jean Pierre and Eneida’s love will only keep shining brighter and brighter. Leave Jean Pierre and Eneida some awesome comments about their awesome images!

The Board of Directors of Children’s National Medical Center recently held a reception in honor of Richard W. Snowdon III, the Immediate Past Chairman of the Board of Children’s National Medical Center. It was held at the Freer Gallery of Art in DC right on the National Mall- if you haven't been there, you should go- it's a beautiful building with lovely art!
It's always an honor photographing event for Children's and this was no different.
Thank you Mr. Snowdon for serving on this important board. All the best to you!
Mr. Snowdon

On March 9th I had the pleasure of attending (not officially photographing!) a very special dinner. This was my third year in a row, and I'm always excited to go.
The American Women for International Understanding (AWIU) is a fabulous group that brings together women in leadership positions throughout the United States to engage in and to encourage people-to-people contact throughout the world. They attempt to build bridges of understanding, goodwill, and cooperation between women leaders throughout the world to share, however small, in the building of international goodwill and reduction of friction by means of non-political, non-governmental, voluntary citizen action.
AWIU hosted its third annual event to celebrate ten outstanding women as International Womens’ Day and womens' issues are focused upon in the month of March.
The U.S. Secretary of State annually selects women from throughout the world to acknowledge their humanitarian efforts and accomplishments with global issues. These individuals are awarded the International Women of Courage Award at this dinner.
To find out more about these amazing women (and truly, they are amazing!) please go to their website.

Ever After Visuals is a mother-daughter team who specialize in wedding photography — we are wedding photojournalist, who capture moments that tell the love story of our brides and grooms. We also do engagement photography, destination wedding photography, day after, trash the dress, family portraits, and lifestyle portrait sessions.
October 24, 2009 — what a perfect day for a wedding! We arrived at the Church early Saturday morning to capture some awesome images of Ester getting ready. We absolutely loved Ester’s dress — it was so unique! This was not any ordinary wedding dress. This gorgeous satin dress with a cathedral train had dashes of tea rose pink on the entire length of the train and in a band framed with crystal beading. The bridesmaid’s dresses were also very lovely being a fitted navy blue strapless gown with a fuschia sash that draped down the back. Gorgeous wedding dresses like this one make it easy to be a wedding photographer.
The ceremony was very beautiful. One of our favorite parts was the surprise vow renewal that Ester did for her parents! It was so incredibly sweet that there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. David and Ester are truly a couple in love who couldn’t stop gazing into each other’s eyes. It was such a pleasure to be able to capture the life-long bonds between family and to see the creation of a new one.
Next came the wedding reception! The entire Grand Ballroom was decorated in beautiful Fuschia and Navy tablecloths with equally elegant lighting. We know one thing for sure, and that’s that David and Ester’s family loves them a great deal! Ester’s brother was constantly surprising everyone with his smooth moves. First when the bridal party was anounced, next he sang for his sister as a toast and last as a random dance in which Ester also surprised everyone and joined in. And David and his Mom brought some emotion to the moment with the mother-son dance and ending with the entire family in a huddle on the dance floor. What a blast everything was!
David and Ester — we want to thank you for being such an awesome couple! Your wedding day was fun and you made it so easy for us being such a photogenic pair! The love and respect between both of you is clearly evident in the way you treat each other. We hope you enjoy a long and happy life together.
We hope you enjoy the slideshow!
