After a blizzard you dig out and then you play. Here are a few shots I took walking through the always entertaining Malcolm X Meridian Hill Park in Washington, DC.

Día de los Muertos
Half Dead – click any image to view the full set
Historically, the Washington neighborhood of Mount Pleasant has been predominately Hispanic with a significant number of Mexicans and Mexican-Americans. As such, it only makes sense that it hosts a festival on Día de los Muertos, the day when families in south and central Mexico gather to pay tribute to dead loved ones and to offer spiritual assistance on their journey.

Stop back here Monday for a series of images from Jennifer’s enchanting performance, and check out the on-line copy of MidCity DC Magazine.

isaac – tenth day
I work with a lot of kids and their families, but I do not often have the opportunity to photograph a newborn. This past June I had the joy of photographing Isaac with his parents in their cozy apartment home. At just 10-days-old (plus an extra 7 days in utero), Isaac was ready for his debut photo shoot.
The set includes shots of candid moments…
… as well as planned images composed under controlled lighting in a living-room-turned-makeshift-studio.
I hope that the resulting series of photographs clearly reveal the warmth and love that I easily observed on Isaacs tenth day.

play with love
Sometimes you just need a break from the stresses of work, family and even social life. WithLoveDC saw the need, and began sponsoring Recess for Grownups at Dupont Circle. I was able to capture some of the fun last Wednesday. #PlayWithLove
