Melanie and Ethan – prom photos

Bill — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 02:30:05 +0000

My daughter’s friend’s mother asked me to take photos of her other older daughter before she went to the prom with her date.

Meet Melanie and Ethan.

Xander turns one

Another friend of mine has a son, Xander, that turned one. We got the family into the studio, did the cake thing, and then got some nice family photos. Mom and Dad got new Facebook portraits, too.

Rehan’s Family

One of the hardest things to do as a photographer is to get pictures of your own family. Rehan and I swapped off – I took pictures of his family, he took pictures of mine.

Andre turns 1

You might remember the earlier pictures of Andre. We’re happy to report that he has turned one. The cake did not survive the encounter.

Jack Rose, Author

Jack Rose has written two books, starting with “A Cedar Post” … an excellent story that emphasizes our inalienable rights. Highly recommended.

Brian, plus …

A friend of mine, Jennifer, has an adorable son named Brian. We wanted to get some fall shots of Brian with his family, and his cousins.

Jonathan and Tina + 3

I had the great opportunity to photograph this amazing family, with their kids. One of the highlights of a family session is getting each of the kids by themselves for a few dramatic shots. The kids love it, because they put the images on Facebook; they end up with the best shots amongst their friends!

Happy Halloween

A recent Halloween party at church was a great opportunity to get some really cute pictures. I set up a portable photography studio, and the kids came through.

Kennedy Center honors Dr. Margaret Pfanstiehl and the Paper Mill Playhouse

I recently had the opportunity to photograph an event at the Kennedy Center – the Leadership Exchange in Arts and Disability (LEAD) Conference and Awards.

One of the best parts of the evening was meeting Dr. Margaret Pfanstiehl, who has been instrumental in bringing audio description to the theater for those who are blind or visually impaired. She was honored by the Kennedy Center for her efforts.

Marcella – senior pictures

I went to college with Marcella’s mom – and hadn’t seen her for a number of years. We hooked up on Facebook – turns out she’s got a daughter who’s a senior in high school. (Find me on Facebook here.)

Her daughter has the same sparking personality as her mom, with the slight flair for the dramatic. We had a lot of fun doing her senior pictures along Carroll Creek in Frederick.
