i had the pleasure of photographing the fabulous ted gibson this morning! ted gibson is ridiculously talented, super stylish and incredibly sweet.  he is one of the most sought-after editorial, runway, and celebrity hair stylists in the business. his work has appeared in publications such as vogue, harper’s bazaar, and rolling stone, and caters to clients like angelina jolie, anne hathaway and debra messing. in addition to two gorgeous salons – flatiron in NYC and ted gibson salon in chevy chase – he offers an amazing line of luxurious hair products. (i’m obsessed with my new glimmering gold shampoo!)

i met up with the team at the chevy chase location for some quick shots! learn more about the hela + ted gibson salon in chevy chase HERE.

missy + mark are getting married! woohoo! this fabulous couple is tying the knot this summer and i can’t wait! i had a great time with them this week shooting their engagement session – especially because i got to meet sammie! i *love* including pets in sessions – sammie is definitely an important part of missy + mark’s life and she was so fun. we explored their historic neighborhood, strolled through arlington, and even managed to survive a crazy 5-minute hail storm! the weather turned wicked windy and chilly – a stark contrast to our warm spring days of late. regardless, we got some great images and i am so looking forward to their awesome wedding!

thanks for braving the elements with me missy + mark – i had a blast!!

enjoy!

hello kyra!

this week i photographed kyra + her little sister kalyn as a present for their dad’s birthday! (happy birthday chuck!) since the session was on dad’s birthday we included the whole family in some fun portraits. we strolled through their adorable neighborhood and the girls entertained me all afternoon! kyra was very serious – super determined, creative, and full of ideas. little kalyn quietly observed and took great interest in absolutely everything – especially my camera lenses!

enjoy!

george richards: musician.

george + guitar = awesome.

blondephoto-gr-5636

when i was in california i had the pleasure of snapping some sweet photos of the talented musician george richards! george is a guitarist + singer with the band franklin lounge and i’m so excited to see them play at the end of the month in encinitas! franklin lounge is comprised of san diego musicians who “mix influences and sounds ranging from bluegrass, jam band, outlaw country, and rock into their own southern-fried style of music.” how funky + cool does that sound? love it!
