showing love for the district.
i was *delighted* to discover this eco-friendly tote while doing holiday shopping yesterday at PULP in logan circle. it’s one of my favorite gifts since it combines local flavor + local art! i grabbed two of the last bags (one to give, one to keep!) and was lucky enough to meet the artist herself at the shop! she told me that although this design is almost sold out there are more fabulous creations on the horizon for 2009! check out her etsy shop and stay tuned!

coming soon: lindsey + chris tie the knot at the fabulous, final wedding of the year!
moments after lindsey + chris’ amazing ceremony yesterday, the newlyweds exited the church to greet their guests – passing under the naval arch of swords! it was spectacular! my last wedding of 2008 and my very first sword arch! more to come from this phenomenal celebration very soon!

a nighttime field trip to the capital christmas tree.
i stopped by the capital building on my way home from a wedding tonight – the very last wedding on 2008. i was feeling elated, nostalgic and a little adventurous, so when i noticed the newly lit tree in front of the capital, i decided to pull over and snap a few shots. it was so quiet and beautiful – a few others stood in silence and awe, and i clicked a few frames trying to ignore the freezing temperature! the colors were really spectacular and i absolutely *love* the way the lights look when pushed out of focus…
happy, dreamy, sparkly holidays to everyone!

stormy winter weather.
this image totally creeps me out – but i love it! i took this photo after a recent session, and i love the drama that it conveys. the washington monument creates such a stark skyline for dc and i love how it always looks so different, just begging to be photographed ;)
i *might* be in a little bit of denial about the fact that it’s december already…this wicked winter weather really cramps my shooting style, but it does keep me indoors + editing…i am currently working on day 3 of a major edit marathon and apologize for my lack of communication…im digging through emails and trying to catch up with blogging, but i still have SEVEN weddings to edit, as well as a dozen lifestyle sessions, which i hope to have completed in time for the holidays!

so happy together.
yay for kelcey + peter! these two are such a fun couple – we had a blast last week running around logan circle (their fabulous neighborhood – we used to be neighbors!) and talking about their wedding plans. one of their good friends did engagement photos for them a while back, so this session was just for fun -giving us a chance to spend some time together! i’m so glad we got to hang out – they are adorable and so very happy and i can’t wait to photograph their wedding this weekend!
kelcey + peter: you guys rock!
enjoy!

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.
