Sara is awesome in so many ways. She’s definitely one of my favorite repeat clients. She’s always peppy, puts a lot of thought and effort into her shoots, and is the sweetest girl ever. For this shoot we went to Manassas National Battlefield Park to take advantage of its beauty. There are woods, fields, streams, and great hiking and horseback riding paths throughout. It’s weird yet wonderful how a site that saw so much horror and bloodshed is now a vivacious […]
Family photographer mode, engage! Ridaa and Hamaad contacted me for a family portrait session with them and their son Hamza (who is awesome). They wanted to take advantage of the quickly fading autumn colors so we decided to meet and shoot at the Virginia side of Great Falls National Park. Photos were taken with my Canon 5D III and a 24-70 f/2.8LII or a 70-200 f/2.8LII. We used natural light for this shoot. Here are a few pics from our session, click for bigger! Visit […]
Guess who was the photographer covering the 2015 Timmy Awards? This guy. The Timmys are held to recognize the best places for technology professionals to work and are held by Tech in Motion, a national events organization for tech enthusiasts created by Jobspring Partners and Workbridge Associates. Categories for awards included Best Tech Startup, Best Tech Manager, and Best Tech Work Culture. There were also a number of companies holding demos at the event, which was open bar (ooh), and had a ton of attendees. Event photography […]
Ally and Abby are two awesome nurses who invited me to be their wedding photographer. Same-sex marriage was legalized in Virginia only earlier this year but I’m glad that progress is being made. I was super stoked to have been considered and the more planning they did, more more excited we all became. Their ceremony and reception were held at Lansdowne Resort in Leesburg, Virginia. It was a cool, breezy autumn day that was perfect for an outdoor wedding. The reception […]
Tommy and Katie are an awesome couple I met while covering an event and kept in touch with. The two of them asked if I was a couple’s photographer and if I would be willing to do a couple’s portrait session with them and their dog, Chuck, to celebrate their anniversary. No brainer. They’re cool, I’m cool, and dogs are awesome. We met at a pond in Centreville, Virginia and got to shooting! Here are a handful of photos from their session […]
I recently had the pleasure of meeting and shooting model Vaei Visage (MM# 2347945). We met in Burke, Virginia and head out to shoot some images in natural light. Halfway through the shoot her nose started bleeding but we kind of just went with it. She’s an awesome person and a very cool friend. Images were captured with my Canon 5D III paired with either a 24-70 f/2.8LII or a 70-200 f/2.8LII. Visit J.Yi Photography on Facebook!
Claire and Eric are a couple of really cool cats. They found me via Reddit and asked if I would be their wedding photographer. I don’t do weddings very often due to my tight schedule but knew, after a little bit of correspondence, that they were an awesome couple. I was thrilled to be covering their special day. Their ceremony was held at Hunter House at Nottoway Park in Vienna, Virginia on a bright Autumn day. It was awesome – everyone was […]
Katie Rae is an aspiring model in Winchester, Virginia. She contacted me for a session to supplement her portfolio and we decided to meet in Leesburg, Virginia for her quick session. Model photographer mode is a lot of fun – lots of collaboration on outfit ideas, locations, and image style to get a set of images that fit the model’s look. We went for a natural light approach for this shoot, which was done with Canon 5D III with a 24-70 f/2.8LII or […]
The M Report is a monthly national print and online magazine that provides expert commentary, news, industry feedback, and cutting edge features for mortgage professionals in the United States.

This assignment took me to Pennsylvania to photograph Vladimir Bien-Aime, CEO of Global DMS and Reston, Virginia to photograph Michael Ruiz, Director of Procurement at Fannie Mae. Each session was done on-site, with limited time […]
