preserve. protect. promote.
last week i had the opportunity to photograph the 6th annual national marine sanctuary foundation leadership awards dinner. held in the beautiful atrium of the ronald reagan building, the evening recognized and honored volunteers and leaders in the community, including speaker nancy pelosi and senator barbara mikulski. additionally, the famed dr. sylvia earl (chair, deep ocean exploration and research + explorer-in-residence national geographic society) and jean-michel cousteau (president, ocean futures society) were both honored with lifetime achievement awards for their stellar commitment to ocean exploration, research and preservation.
daniel ho, three-time grammy award winning musician and producer, closed the evening with a amazing performance.

a fun family photoshoot!
i had so much fun photographing kristin’s family last weekend in annapolis. this was my second time photographing for kristin – if you recall, i raved about her when i photographed jules + alexander last month- so cute!! :)
kristin was so thrilled with the photos that she had me back to photograph her whole family, and this time i got to meet her awesome husband joe as well as her parents and brothers – everybody was great! we did a few group shots and then just played around in the backyard…i am in awe of how much fun this family has when they are together – it’s so easy to see how much they love each other! kristin and joe adore their kids and the two of them totally acted like newlyweds, even though they just celebrated their 7th wedding anniversary! congrats to them!
enjoy!

simply delightful.
i LOVE this first photograph. it so perfectly expresses exactly how katie + chris were on their wedding day. chris sits cool and collected, smiling adoringly at his bride, while katie is bursting with laughter and excitement. i really enjoyed this wedding, and i loved spending time with katie + chris. they are such amazing people: talented, accomplished, driven and doing great things with their lives. katie is a world traveler, a documentary photographer and has a fantastic sense of humor. i couldn’t love her more! not to mention she has amazing taste: her details were stunning! she wore the cutest peach shoes (which matched the jr. bridesmaids blue ones) had gorgeous flowers, and the most unbelievable dress i have ever seen. i LOVED this dress. it was breathtaking. someone said she looked just like a delicate dandelion. everyone agreed she was a total rockstar. her dress made me want to get married, just so i could wear something so fabulous.
the reception was a total blast: tons of wild dancing, a fun twist on the cake cutting (chocolate cake “shots”) and everyone having a great time on a gorgeous may evening in st. michael’s, maryland.
enjoy!

the city is our playground.
have i mentioned lately how much i *love* my neighborhood? or just dc in general? the more i shoot on these streets the more i appreciate all the funky spots for awesome photos there are in this city!
i had a ridiculously good time with carrie + jay last week…and not just because the shoot included a mini-bar crawl through adams’ morgan ;) these two are a riot! i cannot wait for their wedding later this year! carrie is sassy as anything (my FAVE quality in a person) and jay is simply great. i had just as much fun chatting with them as i did snapping their pics and they were so natural and relaxed in front of the camera – loved it! we strolled around adams’ morgan and logan on a beautiful wednesday afternoon and found the best spots for some really fun photos!
guess who’s getting married on november 22?

a SNEAK PEEK from annie + marty’s AMAZING wedding yesterday…many more to come, but i just had to share these incredible images from the very end of the night…
after surviving the INSANE STORM that threatened to, but did not, interfere with their beautiful beach ceremony (yet struck immediately afterward) and all the chaos that goes along with a feisty mother nature (gale force winds + torrential downpour = soaking wet bridal party and photog) i am still BEYOND thrilled to have been part of this phenomenal day.
i may have emerged 3 umbrellas, 1 camera + 1 lens lighter (casualties of the weather) but i have these (and so many more!) amazing shots that make it all worth it…a million times over.
annie + marty: what can i say? you guys ROCK!! stay tuned for the real blog…coming soon!

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.
