The Georgetowner’s June 14 print issue features a swimsuit-themed cover (with some flag accoutrements in honor of Flag Day!). A photo gallery below takes you behind the scenes of the cover photography, which was shot at the penthouse home of Washington Fine Properties’ Nancy Taylor Bubes.
“Nancy’s secret to success is saying YES!” says The Georgetowner Publisher Sonya Bernhardt. “She knows best when it comes to helping this community and what better way than to offer her beautiful home in Georgetown for our summer swimsuit fashion shoot coming out on Flag Day.”
Both President Wilson, in 1916, and President Coolidge, in 1927, issued proclamations asking for June 14 to be observed as the National Flag Day. But it wasn’t until August 3, 1949, that Congress approved the national observance, and President Harry Truman signed it into law. Post-pandemic and with an election year looming, it’s important to come together with a sense of patriotism and rally around the unifying meaning of the flag.
Models for the shoot were from The Artist Agency, whose founder and president is Lynda Erkiletian.
The cover shoot is the brainchild of Fashion Director Allyson Burkhardt.
