introducing my fabulous new logo + slogan:
this awesome design is brought to you by funnel: eric kass – the most amazingly talented and innovative designer ever! i am in *love* with the logo (which btw is my silhouette!) the fonts, the slogan, everything! it’s perfect. he even won me over with the capital letters – who knew that was possible?
so learn to love this little head…it will be popping up all over the place pretty soon…

no time to say hello, goodbye, i shoot, i shoot, i shoot!
it’s 1am on friday, and i just got home from meredith + paul’s fantastic wedding. it’s been a whirlwind week of shooting and i apologize for seemingly ignoring my dear blog. in the last 7 days i have photographed amanda + dave’s engagement session, liz + stew’s adorable twin boys, little 8-month-old luke, melinda + tim’s engagement session, documented an entire day in the life of sister perpetua, an 87-year-old nun, and photographed meredith + paul’s rehearsal dinner + wedding. WHEW!
tomorrow i am photographing a baptism and family party in the morning, a cocktail reception in the evening and possibly documenting a surrogate’s egg transfer in the afternoon! sunday it’s up to baltimore for another wedding – WOOHOO!
so until the smoke clears and the dust settles (aka monday) i doubt there will be any blogging…forgive me, for i am a maniac.

a very happy mother’s day.
it’s true, my mom is an all star. she totally rocks and i had the best time hanging out with her today. mother’s day wasn’t much different than any other day for us, because my mom is a huge part of my life. we talk on the phone and e-mail everyday, go out to dinner often, and do fun/cultural/adventurous things together as much as possible. the only different thing about today was that we fully acknowledged the reason why we have this amazing relationship: because she is a phenomenal mother.
i am so thankful for all the love and guidance she has given me, and especially grateful for the unfaltering encouragement on all my many (and varied) adventures. i admire her for her strength and resolve, her patience and faith, and her incredible dedication to those in need. she is hard-working, independent, and strong willed. she is sassy, funny, and beautiful. she is my biggest fan, my greatest role model, and my best friend.
i am so proud that this woman is my mother.
in addition to all these things, she is also a great photographer, and today i surprised her with a sweet digital canon rebel and a few fun lenses! i’m pretty sure i was almost as excited about the camera as she was! it’s so cute…like a mini version of my 5D, and it takes great photos! and check out the amazing job raven at pulp in logan circle did of wrapping everything up – pulp has the absolute best gift wrap selection + service ever!

bridemaids, and groomsmen, and farm animals, oh my!
the festivities for kristen + neto’s fantastic wedding weekend kicked-off with the rehearsal on friday in the quaint little town of luray, virginia. i spent the afternoon and evening getting to know their awesome family + friends and taking photos of the dinner at the artisan’s grill, the rehearsal at the wedding site (the brand new, gorgeous stone ridge manor!) and at the speakeasy where everyone headed afterwards for cocktails and entertainment.
highlights included neto’s sister’s delicious brazilian cake, the adorable children that spoke to me in portuguese and stole my heart, the herd of cows that literally ate out of our hands, and one of the bridemaids (go robin!) singing at the speakeasy!

an 8 o’clock tee time with the groom to be.
lesson learned: when golf isn’t going great – photograph yourself!
in spite of having worked on a golf course for many years (beverage cart girl, bartender), i have never actually played golf, much less swung a golf club correctly. however, when marc put out an open invitation for a round of golf on his wedding day i jumped at the opportunity. a polo shirt, some rented clubs and a set of 15 golf balls later, i was on the course before 8 am ready to go, camera in hand of course. jessica claire should be happy to know that a shootsac looks fabulous when paired with golf attire! i had a fantastic time, only losing 3 balls in the water and managing a few decent swings. my frustrations became increasingly entertaining, and i’m not certain i even finished the 18th hole, but i did enjoy taking photos of our enjoyable outing!
marc looking perfectly relaxed + vicky teeing off.
i’m confused…because i don’t understand golf and someone else is using my camera against me!
when all else fails, find an appropriate target…
this pretty much sums up my day.
i relaxed a little after i realized our “pros” weren’t taking things too seriously either.
marc blames vicky for tearing up the fairway on the 18th hole…?

blowing bubbles and hiding from the paparazzi.
i try to tell paul that he’s simply too cute to hide from my camera.
however, i realize it’s even cuter when he does hide from it!

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.
