Sneak Peek: Jarrett and Anna's Wedding

they finally tied the knot! i have known jarrett and anna for almost 4 years now, and i am so happy that they finally got married yesterday! anna looked beautiful on her big day, and jarrett cleaned up pretty nicely himself. of course, the ceremony was beautiful and the weather was perfect for fun outdoor photos like the one above. here are a few other favorites of mine from yesterday... enjoy!

Dance Is An Art...

... paint your dream and follow it. —Steven Thompson

i am very blessed to have shot with some of the most prominent, professional theatres in the dc area. theatre photography is my niche (naturally) and i thoroughly enjoy running with it and creating art through another artists' form of expression. it is almost like appropriation: they create the art and i take what they have made and call it my own. gee, thinking about it that way makes my job sound easy!

it is no wonder I have branched out into other types of performance to photograph. dance in this case...

The Dance Institute of Washington will be celebrating their 25th anniversary this year, and i was selected to create some images for their marketing efforts. yesterday's shoot was with a couple of young dancers who are enrolled in the pre-professional program at DIW. we were fortunate to get some great raw photos of them (see above!). i am really looking forward to editing these and sharing them with you all (clearly the doors in the background need to go)!
