on the set of a tv pilot.
two weeks ago i joined up with a very talented (not to mention fun!) crew filming in dc. they are producing the pilot for a new series called ufo america: first contact. it’s a reality show that investigates ufo sightings, and it’s being pitched to the sci-fi channel! my amazing friend andrea chesney invited me to be part of the team while they shot the segment here on capitol hill. for a change i was on the other side of the camera, one of the cast – a cameo role if you will – a photographer providing insight and professional opinion on some of the recorded anomalies that were being investigated.
led by the awesome john d’auria, we braved freezing temperatures + brisk winds to film outside in front of the capitol. it was the coldest night ever, but i had a great time and i learned so much! i am truly fascinated by ufo theories/sightings/research and it was very interesting to be in the presence of some of the most renowned researchers in the field. their passion + enthusiasm for the project was infectious and i can’t wait to see the final results!
here are some of the photos i managed to catch in between my very important acting debut ;)
enjoy!

when the mayor asks, i deliver.
so…last year i was at a rooftop reception at kenyon square where i took a few candid photos of dc’s mayor adrian fenty. i loved them and proceeded to blog them (see original post here), and that was it – until last week when i found out the mayor had come across these photos, and wanted to use them in his campaign! how fabulous! i was absolutely delighted and hope to see this photo (his favorite) appearing somewhere, sometime soon! yay!

details = treasures.
just a few of the beautiful images from a recent (very private) wedding at oxon hill manor. i loved all the indian details, especially the way the cake design complemented the henna on the bride’s hands and of course the ring shot with the elephant placeholder! it was a gorgeous wedding which perfectly incorporated both the bride and the groom’s religions + cultures. she even had a sari + a white wedding gown – both of which were unbelievably beautiful!
i especially enjoyed talking with the groom’s family, since i will be traveling to india in january + february of next year! i’m so excited and just in the beginning planning stages now, but will fill in the details very soon! what i know for certain is that i will be around for inauguration (taking place just steps from my house!) and returning back in time to start my wedding season on march 1. 2009 is going to be another busy, exciting year, and i can’t think of a better way to kick it off than with a trip exploring india!
me, being me.

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.
