Photographers get together at Gordon Biersch, hosted by Armin DeFiesta

Just a couple of hours ago, about 22 photographers from the DC are (Armin DeFeiesta, Hadar Goren, Inbal More, Noah Hayes, Asim Soofi, Paul Price, Laura Kay, Sarah Hodzik and many more...) + Gene Higa who's in town from SF, all got together for good times ,food, drinks and networking.
I don't even know everyone's names but i am sure they'll all tag each other on FaceBook later. In any case, it was a lot of fun to see everyone, meet new friends and hear some tips from other pros.
And, we all took some silly photos, specially since the waitress thought we are working for Apple... and a group shot - a must.

The Big Day Has Arrived!

I’ll make this one short on words but longer in photos. Last night I photographed with the help of Hadar and Alec (videographer) the beautiful wedding of the even more beautiful couple, Giin and Sean Levy. Their wedding ceremony took place at Meridian Hill Park in Washington, DC followed by a reception at Josephine Butler Parks Center. A combination of great times, yummy cupcakes, amazing Korean food and the kind of atmosphere couples only wish for, made this wedding one of my most beautiful ones yet.

Sneak preview - Success in the city - Photo shoot at Saks 5th Avenue

In the last couple of weeks I've been shooting for a project with DC Magazine. We had three sessions at Saks Fifth Ave and with 23 successful women of all industries, a great 12 page piece will be in the October issue with my photos.
I've created a little presentation of the shoot and in a week you'll be able to see the actually piece on paper. DC Magazine - October Issue.

Amarilys, under the bridge

One of my favorite places for urban shots is under the bridge on K Street in Georgetown. The graffiti-filled brick wall was the perfect backdrop for my photo shoot with Amarilys, who needed some photos for her record label. We got lots of attention from the on-lookers, and one poor bicyclist nearly fell off of his bike while trying to take it all in. The photos turned out great, thanks to some good laughs, some good tunes, and Melissa, who used her modeling background to help with the afternoon shoot. We even had amarilys's fiance pose one for us at the very end, on the bridge.

A cat's moments

Once a month I plan on publishing a cat's diary of photos. It's girlie, but so is sugar free vanilla lattes and I have those too.
First batch, Baba(ganoush) at her best.
