Weekend Catchup: I took more cherry blossom pictures 🙂

Saturday morning was PACKED! The bridge on Ohio Dr looked cramped by 6am. It was NUTS but so much fun.

I took this image around 6:05a. Luckily I was meeting up with my friend, Manny who saved me a spot right in front of the Martin Luther King Jr Memorial. The water was so calm, perfect for a great reflection shot.

Quick cherry blossom update: They’re starting to bloom!! Most are still budding but you can find a few trees with blooms on them 🙂

By the way, have you guys tried Periscope? I periscoped for a little while bit while I was at the Cherry Blossoms today and had so much fun. Follow me and I’ll probably be doing more of it while I’m out shooting.

I took this shot right before I left to Philly. You know how it is before you leave for a trip. You get so busy running errands and making sure you have everything in order before you leave, so I didn’t have time to process any of these images.

I remember this being a super peaceful morning. I tried walking to the Lincoln Memorial a different way then I’m used to so I could see if I could find a new POV. Then I thought about the beautiful engraving on the steps. I was so concentrated on trying to get this shot, I didn’t even realize there were some army guys working out on the bottom of the steps. All of the sudden they all started charging up the steps. Well Good Morning to you guys too 😉

I love mornings like this. Seriously, is there a better way to start off the day? I don’t think so. Theres something about a beautiful spring morning that makes you feel so good. Even when you’re stuck in traffic and really don’t want to go to work, how could you be upset when you’re looking at this amazingness?

Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all my irish and non-irish friends 🙂

I am sooo completely honored and blown away that my image is on the cover of the WASHINGTONIAN!!! *Happy Dance* It came to a complete shock when I received the email and I couldn’t be more excited.

So, I wanted to share the love. I’ll be giving away 24×16″ prints to a randomly selected winner on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Feel free to enter in all three social media platforms, I’ll select a winner from each. That means there are 3 chances to win 🙂 All I ask is that you take a selfie with the magazine and hashtag it #ABPinDC and #Washingtonian. That’s it! I want to see all your beautiful faces.
