photo of the day: outtake!

catching myself.

jaime

this week i am working furiously trying to get caught up…the past few weeks have been totally jam packed and i’m doing everything (including drinking lots of coffee – a drastic measure i assure you!) to get all of the thousands of fabulous photos edited, blogged, and to my clients as fast as possible! i have 2 more engagements and 3 weddings to blog, as well as a few fun images from the wieblab i attended last month.

while editing lori + jamel’s *awesome* engagement session i came across this hilarious photo of us at eastern market last weekend! more proof that regardless of how crazy busy things get i really do have so much fun, and feel so very lucky that i have such amazing clients!

so, as i continue to work day + night until i clear my lightroom catalogue (is that even possible??), fighting technical failures, my cranky, full hard drive (sorry mac!) carpal tunnel, and fatigue, i just have to remember to catch myself before i get discouraged, and remember that i really do have the most rewarding job in the whole world.

i have happy hair!

i’m so thrilled to have discovered the fabulous SUE VOLANS, stylist extraordinaire at BANG SALON in chinatown! she’s a total rockstar and she just moved back into town so if you are looking for a new stylist go see her ASAP before she’s totally booked up! (*also* for my brides! she is an AMAZING stylist who loves doing bridal parties and will totally come to you!!)

she gave me an awesome consultation and i felt totally comfortable just letting her do her thing and i *love* the results! it’s definitely different and a little less blonde, but everyone needs a little change now and then, don’t you think?

hello! i know i’ve been completely slacking blog-wise, email-wise and totally unreachable by phone – and so because that i’m *so* sorry! things have been *crazy* around here, and by crazy i mean outrageously, dizzingly, busy! last week i photographed another wonderful event for children’s hospital, did engagement photos in georgetown on halloween, photographed another amazing wedding in annapolis, and had a record THREE engagement sessions on sunday! the past three days i’ve been covering the 2008 BIG BUILDER conference at the national harbor complex, as well as a swanky election night party last night. i will be back to blogging all of the super-fabulous photos very, very soon, as well as kelcey + peter’s long over due wedding from two weeks ago! so stay tuned!

this weekend i have two more amazing weddings to look forward to: zeba + ted on saturday in dc and rin-rin + jon on sunday at the woodend! the rest of the month is full of more weddings, lifestyle + family portraits, engagements and a number of corporate shoots, as well as holiday parties and get togethers! and to top off the insanity i’ve decided to end the month by cooking thanksgiving dinner at my place this year – woohoo! more craziness to come!

brownie meeting: travel right!

the blonde photographer meets the brownies.

i was so excited to attend my very first brownie meeting this week! one of my wonderful clients and friends melinda leads a local brownie troop and asked me to come speak to the girls as they prepare to earn the travel right badge and plan for their upcoming camping trip!

i had a great time at the meeting and i loved their enthusiasm and interest in photography and all of their many questions! we talked about traveling and the importance of keeping a journal and taking photos as a means to tell a story. some of the girls brought cameras with them and i showed them a few tricks ;)

i’m so happy melinda asked me to come and so thankful that she snapped this *great* shot of me with the girls!

enjoy!
