Family Fun with the Phu’s

Posted on July 6, 2010

This city is filled with lots of people away from their families.  But every once in a while, they make a visit and they throw you out of your element.  Now, sometimes that can be a bad idea.  But most of the time, it offers a chance to get out and do something different.

Liz Phu, originally from California, got a weekend visit from her parents and little sister.  She made the best of the brief visit by scheduling a Sunday morning photo shoot with us at the National Arboretum.

There’s a lot you can get accomplished before brunch.  Here is just one example:

Aruna’s Arangetram

Posted on June 8, 2010

For several years, Aruna has been studying Bharathanatyam, a classical Indian dance originating in Tamil Nadu, India.  Later this month, Aruna will be presented by her dance teacher at her Arangetram for her debut on-stage performance.  We had the pleasure of taking some photos for Aruna in anticipation of this major event in the life of a dancer.

Lauren + Dustin + Baby on the way

Here is a sneak peak at a maternity session we did with Lauren + Dustin.  It was raining heavily that day so we had to do the session indoors since maternity sessions don’t leave a lot of room for rescheduling :)   Wishing Lauren and Dustin all the best!

Do you have a constant case of the Sunday blues?  Does the thought of returning to work each Monday put you in a panic?  Then you might want to put Ana on speed dial.  Her company, Creatuitive Coaching, focuses on helping women navigate their way to a career that does more than just pay the bills.  We had the opportunity to meet Ana last week at the St. Regis hotel in Washington, DC for a few head shots for her business website.  Here’s a sneak peak…

Eko in the Park – Puggle Pet Portraits

Posted on December 19, 2009

It was only fitting that Vidhya and Nimi’s puppy Puggle, Eko, should be our first pet portrait session since they were our first engagement session ever.  Vidhya and Nimi — thanks for all your support!  Eko is perhaps one of the cutest dogs we’ve ever met!  On a snowy day like today, I really wish we had a little Eko at home :)
