Heidi & Jason | Hirshhorn Museum engagement | Washington, DC

Heidi and Jason are super mega rad and completely adorable together. They told me they were really nervous about the photo shoot and then as soon as I put them somewhere, they started giggling and hugging and being ridiculously cute. I get the distinct impression this one of those couples people are always rolling their eyes at and secretly jealous of. I'm really excited for their wedding coming up soooooon! engagement session in the hirshhorn museum washington dc engagement photos in a museum If the Hirshhorn didn't have a rotating exhibit, I might get tired of it. As it is, I freakin' love shooting in this museum. cracking up during engagement photo shoot in the hirshhorn And because they're awesome, Heidi and Jason indulged me in a little making-like-the. making-like-the engagement photos engagement photos with modern art blue and white engagement photos in a museum Basically OCF folks (camera nerd-talk, ignore non-photographers!), I'll never tell!

Susan & Senthil | Hirshhorn Museum engagement

I'll just go ahead and say it: I am basically incapable of spelling Hirshhorn without looking it up.  But it sure is a swell place to do some funky engagement photos.  Susan and Senthil and I were meant to do an awesome hot air balloon shoot last Saturday but the weather was just not cooperating.  We're going to do that and all, but winter is long and we've just begun.  Thus we found ourselves on one chilly November morning doin' it big at one of my favorite places to shoot in DC.  Y'all, Susan and Senthil: modern art engagement photography in washington dc engagement photos at ai wei wei exhibit hirshhorn museum engagement photos Did I mention I love shooting in DC's museums?  It can be tricky, light-wise.  And then sometimes you have this giant floating light cube to play with. engagement photos with ai wei wei sculpture at hirshhorn modern art engagement portraits engagement photos at hirshhorn museum And, because why not, we hopped across the street to the Air and Space to get a couple with space man.  If you can't have hot air balloons (immediately), it's the next best thing. engagement photography at air and space museum

Modern Art Portraits

I had a free day last Friday, so David and I met up to check out the new exhibit at the Hirshhorn Museum - my favorite on the Mall.  Only they're between new exhibits (the next up is Andy Warhol) so we had to wander around the permanent collection.  Poor us.  And because I had a more or less willing subject, I took the opportunity to make some portraits with David, who is always up to "just stand there". red line david portrait black and white portrait with modern art funky portrait at hirshhorn museum portrait with sculpture at hirshhorn twisty sculpture at hirshhorn
