I will be out of the office from Sunday to Thursday this work for the WPPI Convention (Wedding and Portrait Photographers International). This is the largest conference and trade show for photographers in the world!  The timing for me to go has never worked out so this will be the first year for me to attend and I am sooooo excited.  There are hundreds of presentations, parties galore, networking with other photographers and a trade show that I am dying to see!

All calls and emails will be returned when I get back.

One of my favorite little angels that I get to photograph... Miss O.  I photographed her here at four months, here at eight months and again just a few days ago when she turned one. I am so excited to do series like these and I look forward to the Three-Edition album they are planning to put together with photos from each session.

This little princess is so loved, not just by mom and dad but by her two big brothers as well.  What a lucky girl to have so many hugs and kisses from everyone around her.  Here is our latest little adventure.  We got a great day after another rainstorm.

Now that I have appeared to survive being sick for so long, I am playing catch-up on all the jobs I've got going on.  I'm not complaining, I just need more hours in the day. That's not asking for much is it? 

It helps to have this next session waiting for you to go through.  We had to postpone this shoot twice because of the rainstorms, but man, it was worth it.  We ended up with a gorgeous afternoon as we meet up in Venice and a picture perfect sunset.  Sandra and Kevin's first date was in Venice and since they are the outdoorsy type we had a lot of fun shooting around the beach and canals.  I used to live down here and I MISS IT!  

I had a real tough time picking a handful of images to show you all.  I think that's because of the combo of gorgeous people, amazing light, funky locations and, um, gorgeous people... can't wait for your wedding in May!

I love the way Sandra was always looking at Kevin.  I have so many of these sweet glances that I could do a whole post just using those.

I'm excited about heading out to the WPPI convention in March. I am mostly excited about the trade show and getting some info on new and green products.  Especially the green stuff.  I am trying to go more and more green since that is the way I live my personal life but I have had a hard time finding vendors of high quality that share these same values. 

I will be there from March 7-10.  If you live in Vegas and would like to schedule a portrait session with me during those dates, please contact me as soon as possible so I can get you scheduled!  Can't wait to get some great shoots done in this fab city!

Last time I was in Vegas, I think I was still shooting with film exclusively! Or maybe just starting to dabble with that digital stuff.  Needless to say, it's been a while but I have my Elvis glasses and I'm ready to go!

I had a wonderful engagement session yesterday in Venice and driving home on PCH, found this beautiful vision ahead of me.  Shot with my iPhone, while at a red light, thank you very much.
