‘Portraits’ Collection

The National Campaign

Friday, August 21st, 2009

Joanna and I LOVE Hulu! We love watching Bones, The Office, 30 Rock, and Kings.  Joanna is much more adventurous when it comes to watching new shows.  She is able to pace herself.  I can’t. I’ll just keep watching them all until I’m finished with the entire series.

So one night, while I was working on some photos, I kept hearing this dialogue over and over:

Amy: I’m not having sex!

Mom: Amy, stop lying to me and tell me that you’ve been having sex.

Dad: If you’re having sex we will find out.

Amy: I’m not having sex!

I turned around and asked what Joanna was watching and she giggled a little and told me it was The Secret Life of the American Teenager.

I started giving her a hard time for watching the show.  She didn’t like that too much.  The next day, I had a shoot with The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy.

Of course, I didn’t put two and two together that this organization could have anything to do with that show so I brought it up to Stefanie at the National Campaign and she flipped out and asked if I wanted a poster of the show.  UM, YEAH!

That poster is now proudly displayed in our bedroom.

Joanna is tearing through the show right now.  She’s almost done with season 1.

OH… do I watch the show?  Sometimes.  It’s pretty good.  I like the sister in the show.  The dialogue can be terrible sometimes.  Please see above.  Overall though, the show does a good job of showing the reality of a teen pregnancy and the stuff that teenagers go through.

But enough about that… Here are some highlights from the shoot!

Amy Jones

Monday, August 17th, 2009

Joanna and I got married on March 28 of this year and when it came time to start making the day a reality, we knew we needed someone to organize and keep people on task.  Of course, there’s only one person we could think of to do this task.

Amy Jones.

As a thank you for her hard work and dedication to us, we decided to give her a photo shoot.  We didn’t want to do the typical style photo shoot that we normally do.  We wanted to dress it up a bit.

Amy’s friend, Lori was on her way back to west coast and decided to stop by and visit her friends on the best coast.  Lori always thought Amy looked very 1920s so we ran with that look for the first part of the shoot and then took it to the streets in a more urban look as evening descending upon Washington DC.

Here are a few from the urban look.

Amy, Thank You for all your hard work in making our wedding a success! We had so much fun and were able to just enjoy every part of the day! It was truly memorable because of your service to us! Thanks!

I’ve been sitting on these photos for a while just waiting to show you on the new site.

These are students from The Maya Angelou Charter School in Southeast Washington DC.  My friend (and former neighbor), Karen, introduced me to these kids because she teaches them every day.  She loves these kids with a passion and it shows every time she talks about them and to them.  She desires so much to see these kids achieve their goals and dreams.

These kids are so cool!  We had so much fun going to locations that they chose around DC.  During one shoot we got kicked out of the National Mall by the park police.  Who knew you needed to get a permit?

The sessions crossed over a couple weeks and we went everywhere from the Lincoln Memorial to Georgetown to U Street to The Arboretum.
