Being in the DMV for two years has been an eye opening experience in many ways. One way was to be able to discover the local fashion scene here in the city and it only took two years to find out that DC has a fashion week. I was fortunate enough to be able to cover three of the events they had starting with the mens fashion show on the first night. The second event I covered was the emerging designers of the area and eight designers were featured. The finale night, which was my favorite, showcased a lot of the international designers that live here in the DMV area. Below are just a few of the images I was able to show on this blog but believe me there were plenty of amazing designs this year! I can't wait to see what the next season will bring for this DC designers.
The Shade Family - Maryland Photographer
While I was in Alabama a great friend and old boss of mine needed updated photos to document her family and there time in the south. So while there we had this mini session at a nearby park and got these great shots. I even got my little Calvin Klein model for the day to give me some interesting faces while we were out. It was so good to see them and hang out for the few moments we had.
Indian Engagement Ceremony - Maryland Photographer
Anyone who knows me can tell you that cultural ceremonies are where I feel the most comfortable. I love learning about and getting to know different dynamics of families and the traditions which they hold dear to them. I have been to several Indian ceremonies but each one is different depending on the families involved and the religion they follow. This particular ceremony was an engagement party which involved exchanging of rings and the meeting of the two families. There were gifts present to the soon to be bride and groom from the family members as well as blessings with money and the giving of sweets. They were all so welcoming and I can't wait to cover their future wedding.
Fashion Blog Session - Maryland Photographer
Fashion, fashion, fashion!!! This lady has the look as well as the wardrobe to match. We met on IG and from there I knew we would work well together. Love Joy Styles writes a blog and puts her own twist on fashion by breaking the rules and creating her own looks with a mix of vintage and new. It is so much fun working with someone that is so creative and allows you to be creative as well. Check out her blog here: http://bit.ly/1S0Irv6
