Featured Vendor – HP’s MagCloud

Mike Lesnick Photography — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 16:31:37 +0000

A few weeks back I was contacted by Patty Tulloch, who works for MagCloud, about my business and how I use MagCloud. I wrote an article (and by “I”, of course I mean “Erin”, lol) for their Publisher’s Corner blog and they published it today! Check it out here.

Party at District

Mike Lesnick Photography — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 03:49:37 +0000

My friend Leo has always been a partier…if there was a party being thrown, he was the one throwing it. He’s skilled as a DJ but let him put together an event and trust me, it’s an EVENT. He asked me just this past Sunday if I could go to the club District in Adams Morgan and take pictures for a party that he will now be throwing every Sunday: Sunglass Sunday’s. All of the people that come should wear sunglasses, drink, dance and have a great time! I got some great shots and it was nice seeing people that I hadn’t had a chance to hang out with in awhile. I get to work AND play

Erin’s Website

Mike Lesnick Photography — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 17:07:50 +0000

Hey! It’s Erin here I have gotten so many good pictures in the last few months that I decided that it was time I invested in my own website. So Mike and I bought for myself: ErinsImages.com

You can visit the site now to see the images that I have already posted and please feel free to comment! So far, Mike has had to just link my website domain name to his website since we are currently in the process of creating the lay out for my own site. It’s going to take awhile since we both have very specific ideas for it, but I know that once it is finished it is going to be awesome!

Erin’s Bouquet Idea for any Brides Wedding

Mike Lesnick Photography — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 02:47:07 +0000

Hello All! I’m the girlfriend behind all of Mike’s genius…ok, maybe not all of it but can I take credit for a little bit, right? Well too bad if you’ve said no, I’m going to anyway I recently have been planning a wedding of my own :-X shhhhh and I thought about this…my bouquets, I want them to be uniform so everyone looks the same standing next to the most beautiful bride in the world…ok, I might be biased but, anyway, uniformity is something I want…or might need due to some slight OCD hmmm. But I still want there to be a bit of a difference in each bridesmaids bouquet, to somehow represent each bridesmaid (including the maid of honor) in their own special way and what they mean to me. So here’s what I decided, what I’m going to do is have all of the bouquets made the same but then have a single different flower right in the center of each bouquet that represents each of my wonderful ladies…here are some ideas:

Determined: Amaryllis
Friendship: Freesia
Heartfelt: Hydrangea
Inspirational: Iris
Loyalty: Sunflower

Those are just some examples, there are so many different flowers and meanings behind them. This is just one simple way to show your bridesmaids that each one of them means something different to you and that each individual girlfriend has had a different impact on your life.

Let me know what you think and if you choose to do this, what flowers will you choose?

Now I’m off to enjoy the weekend in NC with Mike and his Dad and Step Mom (who are awesome!) so I hope everyone reading this enjoys their weekend as much as we are going to enjoy ours.

Today my dog, Nikon, got to play in the snow for the first time! He had so much fun running around chasing snow balls and still falling snow flakes! So adorable!

Corbin Family Portraits

Mike Lesnick Photography — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 22:34:05 +0000

I had a great time taking the Corbin’s family portraits. We started in Old Town Manassas made our way through the downtown area where there are some cool doors, walls and surroundings. After finishing up downtown we made our way to the Battlefield and took some more outdoorsy pictures with them by the bridge, water, and trees. Brandon was home from college so this is a great time for their family to get the kids together and have some portraits taken. Over all it was a very fun afternoon and they’re a great family!

My 2012 Brochure is Here!

Mike Lesnick Photography — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 22:33:22 +0000

Originally Nikki, my graphic artist, was going to update my brochure for the 2012 season but unfortunately she had a major family emergency come up so she wasn’t able to finish it. At first I thought I wasn’t going to be able to do much with it but luckily, Erin, was able to take things over and together we published a great brochure! If you would like a hard copy please just let me know, here is the link to the digital copy..

Robert & Brittany’s Wedding

Mike Lesnick Photography — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 22:31:41 +0000

Today I photographed Robert & Brittany’s wedding at the National Harbor. It started off a little hectic as President Obama was scheduled to appear at the Gaylord Hotel across from the Marriott where they were staying. We began hair and make up at the Marriott as the men watched football and carried the decorations over to the reception hall. Their ceremony was at Saint Peter’s Church in Waldorf, MD which somehow the limo with the groomsmen beat us to! (still not sure how that happened, haha) Before the ceremony and the women got to the church I was able to take about 20 minutes to take the groom and groomsmen around the church and outside to take photos where I got to see the men unhindered by their female counterparts…and Rob’s “Adam and Eve impression”. The ceremony was a Catholic ceremony but a bit shortened and still very nice. The reception was at the The Sunset Room back at the National Harbor. We didn’t have much time between leaving the church and arriving at the reception hall so I stole Rob and Britt away for about 15 minutes to take pictures outside by the Christmas tree and fireworks that are displayed every Friday evening at the National Harbor. Of course, Rob and Britt said the fireworks were for them, and who am I to disagree? The reception was beautiful, this winter wonderland wedding was everything it should and could have been.
