Christina and Koto hired JJ Photography to photograph their wedding. Jackie asked if I wanted to come along for the day to second shoot, which of course, I did! It was a lovely day and I was happy to be part of all the festivities. Below are some of the shots I took. To see their full gallery, visit Jackie Jackson’s website.

Nena’s LOLA Calendar Shoot {Washington, DC Portrait Photographer}

admin — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 04:57:00 +0000

I first met Nena in Las Vegas. We were both at the annual FreedomFest conference where we were volunteers. It was at this convention that the first “Ladies of Liberty Alliance” (aka LOLA) meeting was held and I began traveling around the country to take pictures of ladies selected to be in their debut 2010 calendar. I can’t even begin to express just how excited and thrilled I was to be asked to contribute to this project. Such a cool opportunity to stretch myself creatively and work with a group of women I really respect.

A few months after that first meeting, I was on my way to Washington, DC to take Nena’s photos. Since all the shots were to express some kind of freedom and liberty theme, she decided to sport the Gadsden flag with the words “Don’t Tread on Me” proudly sprawled over her bikini on the front grass of the Capitol. I LOVED the idea and applauded her boldness. With camera in hand (and a deep breath) we headed out to do her photos. The shoot went off without a hitch, despite our slight fears that we might be asked to leave. Oddly enough, we were never stopped by any security, only gawked by them through their binoculars from the steps, which of course had us rolling with laughter.

Nena is such a sweetheart. During the trip, she just opened up her adorable home to me and, since I’d never been to DC, toured me around like an old pro. We even went to the national archives where we saw the Bill of Rights and US Constitution. Very fitting considering the whole theme of the trip. I really want to thank Nena for her genuine kindness and fun-loving spirit. I had such a good time working with her and am happy to have made such an awesome new friend.

XOXO

Here’s the shot that was selected for the calendar. Isn’t she just beautiful?!
