We get to do a lot of really cool things, but this may be one of the coolest. Every year, about 16,000 photographers descend on Las Vegas for the annual Wedding and Portrait Photographer International (WPPI) convention. And each year, the party gets started with a really awesome kick-off program. This year, it was...

Mike & Martha’s Engagement Session- Cocoa Beach, FL
We often talk about how much we love our engagement sessions, but this one was really one of the most fun and creative shoots we’ve had the pleasure to do so far. Mike and Martha came to us with a fantastic idea- they wanted to take surfing lessons at the famous Ron Jon Surf School...
ArtEssence Elements Couture Session- Ft. Lauderdale, FL
And now for something a little different… A couple of weeks ago we were approached by Tracy Mendy, Creative Director at Academy of Glam. Academy of Glam is a school for make-up artistry that focuses on positive transformation of mind, body, and spirit. Aspiring make-up artists are assigned special projects, and then have their work...
Rachel’s Couture Session- The Living Canvas
As much as we love to destroy wedding dresses, we’re really not destructive by nature… That’s why we call these very fun, and very creative, post wedding bridal portrait shoots “Couture Sessions”. “Trash the Dress” just sounds oh-so negative! We were beyond thrilled when Rachel approached us about doing a couture session for...

But every now and then we get to do something even better. Is it even possible. you ask?? YES! Couture Sessions! We photographed Katy...
WPPI 2010… Vegas, baby!!!

The annual Wedding & Portrait Photographers International (WPPI) Convention & Trade Show descended upon Sin City early in March, and so did we. How could we possibly resist a few days in the desert with thousands of photographers, and more...
The Big Easy, Part 2- New Orleans, LA
Love seems to find us when we’re least looking for it…. even at the airport! As mentioned in the Big Easy Pt. 1 blog post, I travelled to New Orleans over Labor Day weekend for a little work and pleasure. Having been to the Big Easy once before, I knew I was in for a...
The Big Easy, Part 1- New Orleans, LA
There’s no place quite like New Orleans. It’s a city of countless contradictions that blend together, creating a fascinating world that dances through dark and light at its own unique pace. Paradise for a photographer. Beautiful architecture, fascinating people, and the food… don’t get me started on the food! I found myself in New Orleans...
Gina Jacobs makes the grade!
Considering the amount of time we spend with lawyers, you’d think we’re in trouble all the time! Well, even though that might be true ;-), we’re lucky to have some wonderful people in our lives that just happen to be members of our fine judicial system. The stunning Gina Jacobs is one of those people....
