Discovery Impact Day // HorseNet Rescue

This is the third year for Discovery Communcations' Impact Day.  I returned to HorseNet Rescue in Mt. Airy, MD where a number of maintenance jobs were needed: loading hay, mending and painting fences, weeding, and scooping poop.  Yep, I just said poop.  HorseNet Rescue is a volunteer run non-profit that cares for horses with a myriad of backgrounds such as abuse, neglect, and retired police service.


I was able to get some shots of the action and horses during the day and wanted to share them with you.  Way to go HorseNet Team!

Connie and John // Three weeks and counting

Just a mini photo shoot with Connie and John before their big wedding day on June 30.  And of all things it was John's birthday, too.  As far as I could gather these two are like George Burns and Gracie Allen.  John is the center, the straight man.  And Connie buzzes around in giggles and energy.  She's a great conversationalist and I know that if I get distracted by her infectious energy we'd wind up talking all night and miss the wedding.  Focus, Beth, focus.

This was our first meeting, so we worked on building our rapport and talked about their wish list for photos, scouted locations together, and hashed out the details of the day.  But I can't imagine anyone not able to find rapport with these two.  Adorable is the best word that comes to mind.

Happy birthday, John!!

Stonewall Regatta 2012

My friend, Rachel, is very involved in the Washington DC rowing community and asked if I would cover the 19th annual Stonewall Regatta on the Anacostia River.  I've never photographed rowing before, so I found this to be a great new challenge.  I spent years shooting high school sports, so I jumped at the opportunity to spend my day near the water.

Maybe it's the nature of the sport that attracts really nice people.  Maybe it's the fact that it was first thing on a Sunday morning and everyone was still sleepy.  But it was great to see a friendly competition and people working together and working hard.  Maybe I should try it one day!
