Washington DC teens were invited to learn about careers from the National Design Awards winner, finalists and jurors. These professionals are working in the fields of fashion, industrial design, architecture, multimedia, and graphic design. The students met Jenna Lyons from J.Crew, John Jay, Behnaz Sarafpour, Tim Gunn from Project Runway – the keynote speaker, and many others. Capturing the teen’s faces as they met with their design idols was incredible and the designers seemed to really enjoy explaining what it takes to follow one’s dreams.
It was a great pleasure working with Occasions Caterers .
We love DC and hope to visit soon.

We start looking through the past year’s favorite images after the holiday rush and spend a few days deciding, tweaking and printing on the studio Stylus Pro 4800 Epson printer. Then the boxes go out, and after anxious waiting we witness print judging.
Many amazing prints were selected out of over thirty five hundred entries for everyone to view. We are proud to announce that six of the prints were captured by Mike and Jana! We couldn’t do it without our amazing couples and supportive vendors. Thank You!

We spent time studying with some of the world’s leading wedding and portraits photographers – Kevin Kubota, Jim Garner, Catherine Hall, Dave and Quinn Chen, David Beckstead and many others. The trade show was as exciting as ever – a few new toys for the studio will make an appearance soon.

It was not all just hard work. We had some fun too, lots of great cafes and restaurants. We definitely had two favorites though Mon Ami Gabi in Paris and Shibuya in MGM. The stay at the Signature Suites at MGM was quite a treat. Make sure to check it out if you ever make a trip to Las Vegas. This is the view from our balconies.

We looked for inspiration outside the convention as well. KA one of the Cirque de Soleil performances was an amazing experience – visually stunning!
When the city got to be too much, we headed east to Zion National Park and spent four hours on a three-mile hike climbing rocks and jumping over creeks taking photographs. Make sure to visit Oscar’s Café in Springdale, UT for a Murder Burger and a cold beer after a long day of hiking.
