Desktop Birdwatcher

It seems that just about every afternoon, Mena comes into the office, jumps onto my desk, and sits down right in front of the computer screen. While I posted last week's blog, something interesting caught Mena's eye.

Maggie & Mike-Bliss

After some heavy rains, I wondered how the cherry blossoms around the Tidal Basin would look for Maggie and Mike's engagement photo session.
We arrived in DC early in the morning in order to beat the crowds, and were pleased to see the blossoms had endured. The green leaves were starting to burst open, giving a nice contrast to the pink petals. The sun seemed to sleep in that day so Maggie and Mike kept each other warm with many hugs and kisses on that brisk morning.

Birds of the Tidal Basin

I snapped these during Maggie and Mike's engagement session.
These fine feathered friends watched on and then went about their morning business.
I couldn't resist.

April Fools in Love

Last Tuesday, I met up with Rachel and Chris for an engagement photo shoot at the National Tidal Basin. The first day of April provided some wind and sunshine-a perfect day to enjoy the beauty of the Cherry Blossoms.

Or should I say..."of the light!"

Vidal Sassoon-Hair Models

I recently photographed another hair show at Vidal Sassoon. The models volunteered their time and their hair to the creatives at Vidal who proved their expertise in the latest cutting and coloring techniques.
I was also one of the models at this show, but I managed to do the portraits while Theresa shot the runway walk.
Everyone at Vidal played their part in helping the show come together.
Congratulations to Dana for proving her talent with scissors and to Nadia for her artistic use of color!
