fall…finally!

it’s just starting to get chilly – really chilly – here in dc, and that means the leaves all around the city seem to be exploding in the vivid shades of fall. it’s easy to take it for granted, but the colors are simply spectacular…and i looove color!
these images are for my dad, who loves this time of year and keeps asking me about the weather and the trees…i know he will enjoy this as he continues to soak up the sunny florida weather and i start to fear a frosty winter!

capital city ball.

hundreds of fabulously dressed washingtonians came out last night for a stellar event – the capital city ball at the washington club in dupont circle. a welcome from host john dunford kicked the evening off, along with a fantastic tango show by the talented dancers from siete tango…i had a fantastic time snapping photos of the table games – the roulette + blackjack dealers were awesome! – the packed dancefloor (everyone adored the incredible 11-piece band BITTERSWEET) and admiring the stunning evening gowns and tuxes.
proceeds from the event and silent auction benefit women to the world – a nonprofit dedicated to connecting “women of resource with women in need.”

enjoy!
