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.

You may notice you’re looking at my BRAND NEW BLOG (if not, you should work on your observation skills)!  Things aren’t perfect quite yet, but I can be pretty picky so I’m sure it will be awhile before they are.  I had so many great new ideas, branding, and website plans that got put on hold that I decided this new blog could be just the thing I need to get things started again.

With all things undergoing construction there are bound to be some kinks.  One of the major ones is the unsuccessful integration of my old blog posts on the new blog.  Well, the posts are technically here, but the images are not.  So until that is all worked out you can always see all the old entries at the old blogspot.

In the coming days I have lots of amazing images to share!  One more post from Nevada and then tons of great images from Paris, I really can’t wait to share those!

Here is Valen one more time, when we were done with her boudoir session she had about 15 minutes before she had to leave, so naturally we had an impromptu outdoor shoot…

Thursday started with a morning boudoir shoot with the absolutely stunning Valen.

LISTEN UP GIRLS :
I think it’s really important to point out that although Valen is a model, this was her first boudoir session! It can be really nerve racking for us women (model or not) to put ourselves out there. Trust me ladies, having a boudoir session is empowering and an amazing experience. Plus, I like to play some great dance music and just have a good time, stress free, being goofy… always leading to intimate, sexy, playful pictures of you. Send me an email and set up your shoot today!

You may give the pictures to him, but do it for you.

READ THIS GUYS :
A boudoir session is a great gift to give to the woman in your life! Spoil her with a spa day, professional hair and make-up, leading up to a boudoir shoot with me to make her feel truly beautiful and sexy. The best part, you get the pictures afterwards! Email me for all the details.

**Boudoir images are elegant and classy expressions of a womans beauty. All pictures are posted with permission.**.

Vegas Recap : Day 5

Wednesday was a nice slow, low shooting day and went a little like this -

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….

Vegas Recap : Day 4, Part 4

I’ve somehow managed to make the day 4 recap last almost two weeks… now, if I could only use that ability outside of blog world and slow down time, that would be impressive.

This is Shannon, and I LOVED her make-up! I had a blast shooting and processing this fashion bridal.
