    A few weeks ago I had to travel to Fort Lauderdale, Florida for business. I know, everyone back home felt “so sorry” for me being that it was absolutely freezing in Washington, DC :) ! Well to make things fair, I hardly had the opportunity to get outside and enjoy the weather. So when I did get the chance, I made sure I was able to capture the moment with my camera in case this “seemingly, unending freeze” decided to stay much longer than expected.

    Fort Lauderdale aka “Retiree Haven” is a nice, easy going pace to the Southern Florida lifestyle. It’s Miami weather without all the high-prices, glitter, and glam. Although I prefer all that “crazy Miami stuff“, I can tell Fort Lauderdale was a nice, chill spot to relax and enjoy the warm weather.

    So here are a few images that highlight the feeling and vibe of Fort Lauderdale, Florida in a nutshell. Oh yeah, and just so you know, I waited until warmer weather visited Washington, DC before releasing this post:)! Enjoy…

    Friends since grade school, it was only fitting that my wife, Ashley, direct a maternity session for her good friend, Riscee. Ashley researched concepts and supplied a few custom details to make Riscee’s photo session extra creative and unique. This shoot was more than creative, it was fun. And it is always fun to photograph people who are comfortable in front of a camera! We enjoyed the session and I am sure you can tell why. Here are a few highlights…

    Our first photo session EVER was with Josh and Whitney Pyle. The day of their wedding, last year, was the first time I shot a professional photo session. So, you can imagine how honored I was to photograph their family a year later. Layla has grown so much! This photo session was taken only a few days before her first birthday! Here are a few highlights…

    Hip-Hop Festival

    Posted in: event

    Event: Black Expressions: Hip-Hop Festival
    Location: Dance Place
    Photographers: McArthur Newell + Jamil Woods

    For the past several years, the Washington, DC Hip-Hop Festival has celebrated Hip-Hop culture and music. Mainly focused on dance, this festival is as celebratory as it is entertaining.

    Hosted by Cheles Rhynes and Gesel Mason of Mason/Rhynes Productions at the Dance Place, a community center noted for its resource programs and social engagement in the community, this event is a staple in the arts community. The list of performers included: Capitol Movement Project, Poem-cees, Aysha Upchurch, Life, Rhythm, Move Project, DCypher Dance and featured Boogie Bots (from MTV’s, America’s Best Dance Crew Season 2) as well as the Live in Color Dance Collective.

    I knew we were in for a treat as soon DJ 2-Tone Jones started mixing the tracks and setting the scene. The lights dimmed and the performers took their places. Now our only challenge was capturing the essence of the high-speed performance in low-light setting! Here are a few highlights of the event…
