Things have been busy, and the poor blog has been neglected, BUT in the coming weeks I get to share some wedding photography, event photography, and a few secret projects I’ve been working on!
Remember, that’s just this blog, don’t forget to get your updates at the boudoir blog HERE!
And what’s a photography blog without some actual photos….. a sneak peek of what’s to come-
Vegas Recap : Day 5
Wednesday was a nice slow, low shooting day and went a little like this -
Cinnamon Rolls (thanks Maya & Pat!)
Stroll through the last day of the tradeshow
Yumminess at P.F. Changs with Cailyn, and Chris & Allie
Some free style dancing in Urban Outfitters
Penny slots at the Paris
Delicious dessert at the Paris cafe
Ending the night with some good housemate convo and editing
Also, remember the sweet Miss Jessica from the Neon Boneyard shoot? Well I mentioned she recently had a big record release, and have some more info to share.
Jessica, known to her fans as J* Smith has a great myspace page you can check out with everything you need to know. You can also listen to her song “My Body”, which admittedly had me dancing 15 seconds in. So click here and show her some love.
A reminder of how sweet J* Smith is….

Dale Benfield put together this video of all us [b] schoolers when we got together in Vegas out near Red Rock. Thanks Dale for doing that, sometimes I get so caught up in shooting the “subject” I forget about everything around me really being the subject.
I realized two things from watching this video. First, I make a ridiculous face when I’m shooting. It’s like an extremly scrunched face with a smile added in, eek! Second, I should not where a bright green jacket when everyone else is wearing black, I don’t pull of “incognito” and it’s not exactly flattering.
Regardless, the video rocks, check it out.
I’m a little dissapointed I made a promise I didn’t keep. I said I would be updating while in Vegas and didn’t follow through. To my credit however, I kept pretty busy shooting and soaking in knowledge (ok, and having a bit of fun), so in my down time I tried to relax a bit.
Vegas Recap : Day One
I was scheduled to fly out early from Dallas Saturday morning, with plenty of time to attend a mini workshop, the KISS shoot, with the Boudoir Divas but not all goes as planned. After multiple mechanical problems and switching to a new plane I finally made it to Vegas, and we touched down just as the shoot was scheduled to end. As frustrated as I was, I was excited for my first WPPI experience.
I met up with Allie and Chris on the strip for a little lunch before we went to pick up the rest of our housemates from the airport. Can I just say right now, my housemates were pure greatness! Instead of rushing off to blow money on overpriced restaurants on the strip we all took a field trip to a near by fresh foods grocery and stocked up. Cailyn, my awesome roommate for the week, fixed some delicious pesto pasta and Chris rocked the grill with some Italian sausage.
Then of course we took in a little of what the strip had to offer, lights, fountain shows, and guys shoving nudy cards at ya!
I should also add that Chris and Allie are awesome bloggers and there is an entire VIDEO recount of the week (go back a page to start from the beginning). I am by no means forcing any one to watch, I’m just saying… it’s there, I’m in them, they make me laugh. For their blog click — HERE.

Let me first say – yeah for more blogging! Hopefully I can keep this up. I will be in Las Vegas for a week and I can only imagine that I will shoot enough to blog for the rest of the month. Stay tuned for bits of awesomeness as I will definitely be blogging updates from the city that never sleeps!
Why do I always wish away time only to realize I needed more of it, not less? I had fully intended on having a newborn session with Miss Lucy before I left for Vegas but unfortunately time seemed to just slip by. Here is a little something to hold you over until I get more images of this cutie, and I’m sure her mom would like to see more too.
Leave some love.

This is the last of the dress trashing sessions from November with some new friends: Allie and Chris, Annie and Toby, Cailyn, Amanda, and Sarah. We came from five different states and met up in Cincinnati for some photographic awesomeness.
We were losing daylight quickly during Jackie’s shoot, and that was exactly the point. We had some extra special trashing in store for miss Jackie, who was quite the trooper. For those of you, like myself, who immediately go into parent mode and are thinking “is that toxic?”, no it isn’t (I double checked). Did anyone know glow sticks are oily inside? Well, now you do. Jackie, thank you for indulging our photography curiosity, and I hope you enjoyed your neon-moisturizing facial, and an extra thank you for hanging out afterwards for some Chinese food and a random trip to the airport (thanks to Cailyn’s superb sense of direction)

We were going for hot broke down bride, and Jackie nailed it.
Bring on the glowsticks!
I liked this one both ways, I tried but I just couldn’t choose between the two.
