I’ve known Corey + Kelly for over a year now, we’re all members of the Northern Virginia Facial Hair Club, a local non-profit that raises money for charity and thinks that facial hair is cool (no beard needed to join!). They’re cool people and we were all overjoyed when they got engaged. 🙂 They asked me to be their engagement photographer, to which I totally said yes! Even better, they brought their dog Velvet along! Attached are a handful of […]
This past week I was contacted via Reddit by Anthony. Anthony was planning to propose to his girlfriend Sarah and was looking for a photographer who would be able to cover the event. As we discussed the details it became clear that Anthony had planned out the entire night and that this assignment would be a bit difficult but very rewarding. A proposal photoshoot has a number of difficulties – the whole thing, no matter how well planned, is a […]
Growing Hope is a local 501(c)(3) charity that “provides supportive, non-medical care to children with cancer and their families.” I have personally seen this organization in action and they are great people who really care. Every year they throw a picnic at Nottoway Park in Vienna, Virginia for pediatric cancer patients, their families, and the staff that takes care of them to enjoy time together outside of the clinical setting. These are just a few images from this year’s picnic. It’s […]
Took some photos for a few weeks ago at a very special birthday party. Damian is Orlando and Silvia’s firstborn and the party was to celebrate Damian’s first birthday! Lots of friends, family, and love. Damian’s party was held at the Audrey Moore RECenter in Annandale, Virginia. All images were captured with a Canon 5DIII, a Canon 24-105 f/4L IS, and a 580EXII.
I met up with Rebecca a few weeks ago to do a cosplay shoot. We found each other on Model Mayhem and agreed that we wanted to update her portfolio with a few new images of her Lara Croft (Tomb Raider) cosplay. We met up to shoot at Lake Fairfax Park in Reston, Virginia. All images were captured with a Canon 5DIII, a Canon 70-200 f/2.8L II with natural light. Rebecca’s stats: Height: 5’7″ / 170 cm Weight: 150 lbs / […]

I love medium format. Film is my absolute favorite way to shoot. Photos were all made from a single roll of Ektar 100 shot with a Mamiya RB67 SD Pro. First three captures were taken in September at Gettysburg National Military Park in Pennsylvania, the next four at the National Shrine Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes in Maryland (a really neat roadside stop, even for a heathen like me), and the last three frames were shot in December outside […]
I went on a short walk at Manassas National Battlefield Park this weekend with Marisa and Geordi. The place was absolutely littered with photographers! We timed the trip nicely with the sun – there’s nothing better than natural light, especially during Autumn. All photographs were made with a Canon 5DII and the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L II lens at ISO400. Visit J.Yi Photography on Facebook!
The weather’s changin’ and the leaves will soon follow suit. Here are a few photos taken here and there to celebrate the coming change. Click on each for the larger version! This photograph was taken at Maymont Park in Richmond, Virginia, though it seems as if it could have been taken from the other side of the globe. Maymont is a 100-acre property that is open to the public and is incredibly beautiful. There are multiple personalities to the property […]
My new favorite way to spend time alone is to throw my medium format gear into the car and drive until I figure out where I want to be. The next time you find yourself at home with nothing to do (or even worse… spending your time doing nothing worthwhile!) consider going for a drive with a camera. It is surprisingly liberating and I promise that you will rediscover your sense of adventure. Point of Rocks is a beautiful and […]
