Stacey is amazing. I first met her through a friend that was organizing a head shots evening for…read morelots of professional friends, so I bought 15 min in a studio with Stacey and got the best headshot that has come in so very handy many times. I moderated a panel last week and a panelist I was being introduced to said, "yes, the woman with the most amazing head shot." Yesterday morning we did our 5th(!) family mini session shoot with Stacey in a garden next to the Capitol. It's wonderful to get these beautiful shots of our children growing up -- and have some shots with me that I love that aren't selfies! Years ago Stacey took an iconic (among our family and friends) photo of my son sulking off to the left of the Washington monument when my husband and I were were standing to the right smiling while pregnant with our daughter. That same day Stacey was able to joke around with our son and get the best shots of him smiling and enjoying himself. Our daughter enjoys the shoots just as much. Thank you, Stacey!

What you need. He calls the instructions and guides you through the shoot. And let me tell you... every picture is a touchdown. Another thing: the turnaround time is quick. He won't make you wait in in the last stretch of the fourth quarter. You probably have a busy schedule, and Preet knows that. You can trust this man with you and your loved ones' important life moments. Whether it's a team photo, Julie's graduation, or Gracie's baptism, I'm calling Alio Graphics.

From the initial email, to the phone call to the emails back and forth prior to our photoshoot, Pri was patient, understanding and took in our requests and thoughts as well. On the day of the shoot, which we chose a nice comfortable hotel room, Pri's team did a great job making my wife look really pretty based on our requests. We felt 110% comfortable in taking our photos as Pri has an ability and energy to keep us going for the 3 to 4 hours of the photoshoot The pictures that came out were really good (hard time choosing) and Pri also was generous in the number of photos that she provided for our choosing. We will recommend her and her team for their absolute level of good service, and great patience and understanding.

We…read moredecided pretty early on that photography was important to us so we needed to find someone who was better than "just good". After scrolling through the web, looking for photography in the Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia area, we stumbled upon Judah Avenue Photography. We were so pleased with their work that we reached out to them immediately to see if our wedding date was available. We were so glad to hear that it was so we booked them immediately. When we got our previews shortly after our wedding, we were literally jumping for joy. We were so pleased with how the pictures turned out that we shared it with everyone... our families, friends, coworkers, and neighbors. Judah Avenue did an exceptional job from the moment they walked in all the way to the end. We had so much fun getting ready with Nafa, Nigel and Manolo that we can't stop talking about it. Everyone I've communicated with behind the scenes has been nothing short of amazing too (thank you so much Suzan and Maria). We are so glad we found you guys!!!! If you're looking for a wedding photographer that will not disappoint, Judah Avenue Photography is THE ONE. We're looking forward to working with you all soon ;)

More experienced photographers may disagree, but as a beginner, I found WSP's "Focus on…read moreComposition" course super helpful. The class tried to instill a habit of thinking through a checklist before taking a picture (or evaluating it afterwards). The checklist included, among other things: * What's the subject? * Do the direction and quality of light work for your subject? * Does the background distract from the subject? * Check the frame's edges: Is the cropping awkward? * Is there comfortable spacing between the elements of your photograph? Our class was small, so in addition to the lectures and the pithy, informative handouts, we could spend more time going over our homework, getting concrete suggestions for how to improve. For example, the instructor (Joe Yablonsky) would sometimes suggest moving the camera up, down, right, left, closer, or further, to get a cleaner background, a more flattering portrait angle, or more interesting "directionality" in the photo's lines. Other times, the instructor would notice patterns-- that my ISOs tended to be too high, or that there's dust on someone's sensor, or that the focusing was sometimes off. He'd then ask how we took the shot, and suggest new settings or focusing methods (or suggest cleaning the sensor!). Sometimes he'd ask the class to weigh in on the critique, so we could also benefit from our talented (and opinionated!) classmates. One session was a fun field trip to the National Mall. At the National Gallery of Art sculpture garden,we chased photogenic squirrels and captured tourists' hilarious reactions to Joan Miro's Personnage Gothique, Oiseau-Eclair. (Google it if you don't know it). I watched as one classmate got several amazing portraits of strangers, just by walking up and asking. The instructor also gave me a demonstration of how to get my camera to focus with a neutral density filter. (I had been having trouble with that). The course just ended last week, and I still need a lot of practice. But it's made my photos noticeably better. (One of my homework assignments even got published last week, as the page 2 photo in the Washington Post Express!) The downsides: Classes can be expensive! (Luckily I had a gift certificate). Sometimes you can find coupons or Living Social deals, e.g. here's one that's on right now (as of late March 2014): http://conta.cc/1jNpdud Washington School of Photography can be a pain to get to without a car. It's somewhat walkable from Twinbrook Metro, but the commute from DC (especially with weekend red line schedules) took me more than an hour.

I highly recommend Zori Studios to anyone who is looking for reasonably priced and wonderful videography services.
