yay for cherry blossoms!
i met lindsey + chris just after dawn at the jefferson memorial for our engagement shoot yesterday morning…the blossoms were beautiful as expected, and lindsey + chris are so sweet, i really enjoyed getting to know them better. we were a little rushed (they had to go to work afterwards!) but we managed to find a bunch of cool spots and get some amazing photos!
enjoy!

i had an absolute BLAST photographing matt + jonelle in NYC last weekend…they just got engaged and are so ecstatic! it was so much fun just being around them and capturing their incredible energy. they were up for anything and matt is so crazy he made us laugh many times over. he definitely did the best jump shot i’ve ever seen and they even broke out dancing in the middle of the street when a passing car cranked up the volume for us!! check out this AWESOME couple – matt + jonelle: you guys ROCK!

i had so much fun with hannah + andy…we ran around the adorable little town of easton, md trying to squeeze in an engagement session the day before their wedding! between last minute planning and the rehearsal dinner we only had an hour, but we made the most of it and took advantage of the oddly warm february weather and got some really fun shots around town…enjoy!
these might be my favorites…
i *love* how silly they got!

just one photo that i *love* so much – i tweaked it a bit…a diversion from my usual straightforward processing…and i think i really love it even more. any thoughts?
more amazing photos from this e-session to come!

yes – this is going to be another one of those posts where i rave about the couple and want to put up at least 47 pics of them…
let me first say that i love, love, love tara! she was a breath of fresh air: funny, fashionable, beautiful, AND she loves photos! i had a total blast with her and keith yesterday in baltimore…we have had to postpone a few times, and were all very excited and anxious to meet – we’ve exchanged a million emails and i knew we were going to get along fabulously. tara even said keith had been practicing his smile – this was particularly hilarious, and totally unecessary as they laughed and smiled the entire time without any prompting by me! we started out in fells point and walked to the docks at the frederick douglass maritime park – love that place! photographed an awesome wedding there just last month…then it was off to the american visionary arts museum in federal hill to get a killer photo under the idyllic neon LOVE sign. we were so thrilled about it, and then just as siked to explore the outdoor section of the museum! tara + keith stood in front of the amazing glass mosaic exterior of the muesum and even held the door for visitors when they entered! then tara jumped on this metal bug statue and keith “pretended” to perch above it (note: no art was harmed in the making of these photos!) then we walked around back where little ceramic paintings and figures lined the walls and discovered a huge fort made of wood! they ran right in and peeked out at me! loved it! there were these cool concrete stairs that they walked up, and next thing i knew keith scooped tara up in his arms! too cute! oh, and i did i mention we got a great shot with their dog hogan at the very end? yay!
what better way to spend a sunday than with a couple as amazing as tara + keith?
i love my job :)
hogan!
this may be my favorite – there’s just something about this one, and about tara – i think it’s the way she’s standing, it draws my eye. i tried it with an antique wash, and i think it pretty much rocks.

ok – let me tell you how much i loooooooove this couple!
andrea + tim are a breath of fresh air – they are young, energetic, totally silly, and TOTALLY head-over-heels in love!
andrea lives in south dakota and tim lives in dc…so they pretty much spend all their time chatting on the phone and planning as many weekends together as possible. they are both from huge families (they each have 8 siblings!) and they have tons in common, including their great personalities. this weekend andrea was in dc so we met at the lincoln memorial and then headed to georgetown – andrea even showed me photos from when tim proposed on the beach in california in the cab! too cute!
we had a blast running around the city, these two were up for anything – laying in the grass, piggy back rides, a stroll along the canal, tim even attempted to dramatically dip andrea – which went all wrong! it’s ok, they have plenty of time before the wedding to perfect it ;)
nonetheless, the shoot was a fantastic success, i have about 100 photos of them just absolutely hysterically laughing. it was a lot of fun, and i am so glad to have met these two, and who knows? i might even make it to south dakota for the wedding next year…
a huge congrats to andrea + tim!

welcome! my name is jaime windon, i am the blonde photographer, and the world is my oyster.
my life is nothing less than a global roadshow - originally from washington, dc, i just returned from living + working in lamu island, kenya. i am currently based on the eastern shore of maryland, and travel incessantly to satisfy my wanderlust + to capture the best images possible.
i believe candid photography is the ultimate art, and my ideal subjects are people who are in love with life, with each other, and with the world around them.
my work is primarily focused on weddings, portraits, travel & documentary projects. i love a good story. have one you want me to tell? then email me with your request and any questions, comments, or concerns.
i'd love to meet you.
