For as much as I just really don’t feel at home on social media, there are times when I just can’t imagine life without it. In a matter of a couple hours I was handed a photographer that suggested a rad location (not to mention actually DRIVING us there), two gorgeous little models and one of the most fun, random, last minute shoots that I have done in a long time! Kim and I were in Las Vegas for a fun family shoot for Nonna Bambini (you can see some of their beauty on my FB page) and, in true fashion, we got distracted by cool props and locations and did a little shoot on the side just for fun ;)
Jenny – I can’t thank you enough for providing us the opportunity for our little adventure. Heather & Joey- thank you for having such perfect little ladies to make it all come together! Such a great day… :)

I have never been a wedding girl… I don’t get excited about them or photograph them. I’d take a pair of boots and tousled locks over fancy shoes and up-do’s any day ;) … but when Lillipops Designs showed her new tuxedo inspired dress she designed, I decided right then and there that maybe flower girls could be my thing ;) Throw in some accessories from LMMH and I was sold.
How could I resist?

Kathy: I think that this might be my all time favorite shoot that you have ever done. I don't know if it's because I see my impish daughter in her face, or the adorable clothes or the amazing accessories that I'm in love with or the beautiful photography as usual. It's breathtaking and I am breathless with it. LOVELOVELOVE! (01.22.2013 08:10pm)
