Great Email today!

I just got a great email from a bride of mine that I shot( sounds weird doesn't it) at the Yacht Club recently. It really made my day! Letters and emails like these remind me that I am in the right profession! Thanks Renee!

Here is an excert:

"Wow Rick! We love the pics, they are awesome. I sent the link to my mom at work and she said she started to cry right there! You are wonderful. Thank you for cementing our memories forever in this way. They will be treasured forever. They are so real and feel alive, I feel like I lived it all over again. The pics of our rings and the flowers are absolutely breathtaking. I just wanted to send you a note and tell you we got them, looked at them for hours, and are amazed. Thank you for sharing your talent with us."

Ashton Model Fashion Portfolio Shoot

Ashton flew in from California and we took some time to shoot for her portfolio with some fashion and swimsuit photographs. If she looks familiar, you've probably seen her modeling on the cover of the Sharper Image catalogue or in the latest Shape or Martha Stewart Living magazine. She is a true professional and always a pleasure to work with.

Ally's senior portrait photography session

I had the pleasure of shooting Ally's senior portrait recently. She and her mom were awesome to work with! They said they were looking for something different so this is some of what we came up with!

Washington D.C. Photgraphy Excursion

After shooting my wedding in Baltimore I decided to do a little site seeing.

All I have to say is that if you t have ever complained about the traffic near Davis and Olive it can't hold a candle to driving in downtown Washington D.C. Thank God for GPS systems! I've always wanted to visit the Smithonians and my brain is still swelling from all the information and culture. Seeing about 7000 paintings and sculptures in 3 days was pretty overwhelming yet inspiring. I got to see the Ansel Adam exhibition which was great but it was a bit disappointing that there wasn't more photography on display by other artists in the museums. I know the typical Washington D.C. photos have been done to death but I thought i would try my own attempt at them.
