Peyton - June 5, 2014

Peyton is the lovely daughter of my friend, Amy.  She is graduating high school next week and heading off to college in the fall.  Amy asked me to come out to her home to take some graduation portraits of Peyton.

I had never been to their home before and it is a beautiful location at the end of River Road with acres of land and all kinds of nooks and brightly painted walls inside.  I could have posed her forever as we had so many options both inside and out.

Not to mention that Peyton was such a great model and was up for anything.  Big congrats to Peyton as she starts the new phase of her life.  Many thanks to Amy for letting me document the end of her high school years.

Howard and Charlie - May 9, 2014 at the Fairmont

Howard and Charlie came to me via Bob Mikolitch, catering director of the Fairmont in DC.  I love working with Bob as much as I love the Fairmont.

Howard and Charlie were actually already married so this event was just the party to celebrate the marriage.  And celebrate they did.  The Collonade Room was turned into a lounge with decor and flowers from Edge Flowers.  The band, Free Spirit (one of my favorites), kept everyone dancing the whole night.

Many thanks to Randy Wood for helping me out with the photos.   Big congrats to Howard and Charlie.  Great party, great family and friends.  Here's to many more years of happiness.

One of my favorite first dances ever!
