I  absolutely ADORE these bridals!  I could go on and on about the vintage style… the fun… the Vespa… the fashion… but there’s no need.  These beautiful, out of the box bridal pictures do all of the talking for me.

Don’t get me wrong, I love being a photographer in Knoxville, but this setting was to die for.  The suite at the Palms in Las Vegas was a phenomenal backdrop to these vintage 1960′s styled portraits.

Here is a beautiful country vintage sibling shoot, and my favorite family photography session to date!  Perhaps it’s because these two gorgeous sisters are my cousins, but that would be bias… and I’m certainly not that.

Once a year the whole clan gets together in Hillsvile, Va.  You’ve probably heard of it.  No?  That’s too bad, because it’s famous for the biggest flea market in the east, more of the population having gun permits than drivers licenses, and the greatest general store on Earth, Sunny Side store.  To be accurate, the flea market is fact, gun permits are a wild guess, and the general store is my humble (and very astute) opinion.

Julie and Rachel, besides being beautiful and intelligent, are both so sweet.  They wanted to surprise their mom with these photos.  Well, their mom happens to be the women I was named after, so the pressure was on.  Hi Sheila!  Hope you loved the pictures.

Check out Rachel rock a hat better than Taylor Swift, and Julie make banjo playing look hotter than grits in a frying pan…

Here is Isabel in her Fashion Boudoir session shooting in the Paris Metro.  Enjoy!

First up is Isabel, she’s from the states but currently living in Paris.  We spent the afternoon in a hip Parisian flat using the fabulous decor as our backdrop.  I had a seriously difficult time narrowing down photos to share on the blog, and this is still about twice as many as I usually post!

I feel the need to say that she is not posing in these, this is just how good she looks taking a coffee break!

Interested in your own boudoir shoot in Paris, or another destination city, such as Las Vegas, London, or Barcelona?  Email me for all the great information on “The Destination Boudoir Experience”.

This gem of a location is nesstled right on the edge of Nelson, Nevada, a tiny unsuspecting town about an hour from Vegas and about two minutes before the border of nowhere.  It really was a photographers heaven, I could have spent a week shooting the great old treasures scattered about, it gave a whole new meaning to desert oasis!

This shoot had a bit of everything- fashion, boudoir… and would make an awesome (and one of kind) spot for senior portraits.
