Last week I got to get glam for a photo shoot with Jackie Garcia Photography styled by the talented January Dawes Gabriel.
Here are some of the best shots!
I had fun getting all glam for the 20th Anniversary of Sinatra Soirée

It’s tough to break into the the world of TV news. I got my foot in the door as an intern for Emmy Award winning journalist Angie Goff who is an anchor and reporter for NBC Washington. [The above photo was taken on the last day of my internship back in 2008.]
The internship was challenging for several reasons. First, the hours were Monday-Friday 4-8am. Keep in mind at that time I was still working full time from 9-5 AND I had grad school three evenings a week.
Secondly, the deadlines were real. As an intern I helped research and produce Angie’s daily morning segment as well as helping to respond to the SLEW of RSVP’s she’d receive for various community events. Anyone who knows Angie knows how much giving back is important to her, so managing her calendar was quite the task!
Did I make mistakes, yes. Was it hard? You bet! But that’s all a part of learning and growing.
Over the course of the past four years Angie has been a tremendous mentor and friend critiquing my work and always making time to grab coffee whenever I was back in Washington visiting.
While I was Angie’s first intern. since then she’s continued to mentor and coach several other budding journalists in the Washington, D.C. area.

Ever seen a dancing flamingo? I spotted this guy at the national zoo.
Journalists don’t do it for the $$!

After the numerous emails from Washington, DC friends referring me to try the new personalized car service Über (@uber_dc) I caved. Armed with a $10 off coupon I set up an account (that took less than 5 minutes) and 12 mins later a very nice driver, named Robert, was at my door in a lovely Sedan. My favorite feature was being able to track how far away the driver was as he came to pick me up (see pic) plus text message alerts when he arrived at my door. The downside…. It cost a bit more than a taxi but it was worth it…..until ‘rush hour’ that is. Tried to take an über home and got an alert fares tripled, so I decided to pass.
