Haiti: Love a Child Orphanage

The Love A Child orphanage is a Christian humanitarian organization situated in Fond Parisien, near the Dominican border. The orphanage volunteered to transform part of their grounds into a relief station. Here, a broad coalition of international government and non-government organizations worked to provide a medical care, including on-site surgical procedures and convalescent care for patients discharged from the USNS comfort. USPHS participation in this mission was not anticipated at the outset, but when several logistics officers learned of a need for physical and occupational therapists, LCDR Joe Christ and LT Carlos Estevez volunteered to provide patient care.

Tea Party Protest

Right off the bat, let me state that this post isn’t intended to condone or condemn this protest. I didn’t even plan to attend. I was just strolling around the capital giving my parents a tour of DC when I stumbled on a crowd that turned out to be a Tea Party protest. I suppose I should have known that since the House of Representatives was concluding the debate on the Health Care Reform Bill, there was bound to be some type of demonstration.

The project: a photo a day for the first 100 days of my daughter’s life. I tried this when my son, Ethan was born, and the process was as rewarding as it was the first time.

Catherine and Scott's Wedding (Sort of)

Okay, I know this looks like a wedding, it sounds like a wedding, it even smells like a wedding. But Catherine and Scott actually got married back in May. It turns out that love couldn’t wait through the months of wedding prep, so thy tied the knot in an informal ceremony, and had the full gala a few months later . Michele Drumm and I teamed up for this out-of towner.

Joon and Younga's Wedding

When Joon, my bud from grad school, asked me to be his best man, I was hugely honored. I must admit, though, that I was hoping to be able to take some photos at his wedding. The best of both worlds converged when he asked me to shoot the Koren wedding (preceding the American one), as well as the gettin’ ready shots. Score.

Portraits of Surgeon General RADM Steven Galson

LTJG David Schwab and I were invited to photograph Acting Surgeon General RADM Steven Galson to commemorate his service during his final days in office. We headed to HHS Headquarters, armed with an assortment of photography equipment. The shoot was scheduled to begin at 1:30pm so we planned to arrive early enough to setup our mobile studio. After winding our way through downtown DC from our Rockville office, we found our designated parking area and schlepped our not-so-portable equipment across the street to the Humphrey Building. Once our elaborate assortment of gear cleared security, we were able to head upstairs to the Surgeon General’s suite.

Kim and Chris' engagement shoot

Kim, Chris and I met up in Old Town Alexandria for their engagement photo session. Congrats again guys! You two are awesome together, which made my job very easy, by the way ;) This part of Alexandria is really amazing. Every street feels thoroughly matured thought decades of history, love, and trials. A great place to kick off a marriage, if you ask me!

Maternity Abstract

I admit it, I’m a procrastinator. I’ve had nine months to photograph my wife’s maternity portraits, but the cobbler’s family has gone barefoot again. Until now. I was NOT going to miss this. No matter that she was in labor, we were gonna get this thing done!

Rain Portraits

A year ago Stephen decided to change his physique. And he did. 70 lbs later, he's got a new body, a career managing one of the coolest gyms in Maryland, and a schedule rapidly filling with modeling gigs. When the gym asked for some before and after images for a collage of physique stories, he knew he wanted an image as dramatic as his transformation. Oh, and he needed it within 48 hours.
