Engagement session - Downtown Silver Spring

First and foremost I must say that Nuria, Tye and Gracie were totally dedicated to this shoot! The temperature was close to the low 30's. We had a great time romping around the downtown Silver Spring area stopping at different locations for pictures and popping in and out of a few vendors for warm food, drinks and just to get out of the cold.

Here are a few teasers of the day.

p.s. You three were great!!!

A belated Thanksgiving...Well worth the wait.

To Sonny and Family:

We would like to thank all of you for giving us the opportunity to photograph such an important and meaningful event. Coming from large families with such emphasis on togetherness we both felt very privileged to be part of your special day and see the love and happiness shared amongst you. We would also like to say thank you for the kindness you showed us, being so easy to work with and of course the wonderful food!

We both LOVED the Saag!!

Thanksgiving '07

This year I spent Thanksgiving with Kristiaan's family and close friends and had a great time. It was a much bigger get together this year than previous, with a total of 19 people and of course Baxter.

Here are just a few pictures from our few days out there.

The Road to Tulum

Hope you enjoy...

This is the first of two slideshows. This particular show includes two days worth of pictures. All the locations were along highway 308 which I dubbed "The Road to Tulum." I've been meaning to find the original map drawn by the owner of our hotel, its what we used to reach our destinations!

Each new location is marked with sand-script that was actually suppose to be funny... We actually spent a few minutes on our last day writing names of places we visited in the sand - talk about planning ahead!

We visited Xcaret "Esh-kar-et" on Thursday (day 1). It is an eco theme water park with many amazing sites.

We got to swim with the dolphins!!!

Yes that was my surprise from our first Mexico post. I've actually always dreamed of doing that and it was absolutely amazing - although I cant compare it to skydiving I can put it into the same caliber of experiences. Xcaret also had cenotes "sen o tays" which are underground water caves/tunnels. It was much more tamed than I expected but still something I had never done and would definitely do again. We tried to use my point-n-shoot in a water proof case but very little pictures came out.

Saturday we rented a car dubbed the Chevy Teeny Tiny by Kristiaan. We set out for a multiple stop road trip which included Yal-Ku an amazing lagoon for snorkeling; Zamas, a hotel/restaurant literally on the beach and Tulum which is a site of ancient Mayan ruins.

p.s. Sorry about the length, its roughly eleven and a half minutes but I promise you its worth it :)

Tara and I have been friends for years and she recently contacted me for some business. So today we headed out to FEDEX Field and their studio to get some shots for in studio and website.
