Question #6

Linda asked me “What is your favorite subject to shoot and why?”

I would love to say ‘Life’ and leave it at that… because honestly, I adore shooting anything and everything I cross paths with!

But, because I just can’t be lame and leave it at that I would say my favorite subject is quite likely engagement sessions. For me there’s nothing that beats the laid back pace and private tenderness that comes with an engagement session. It’s the couple’s first opportunity to get to really get to know me better, and it’s my first chance to really see their love and personalities at it’s fullest. I love love and I adore celebrating a couple’s affection for each other!

Here’s just some of my favorite engagement  photos from 2008:

Bright light city’s gonna set my soul on fire…..

Wow! Where to begin? The 8 days I spent in Vegas earlier this month were at once terribly action packed, inspiring, overwhelming and very VERY glittery! ;)

As many of you know, I took the trip down to the city that never sleeps to attend the annual convention held there by WPPI (wedding and portrait photographer’s international). It was my first time attending the convention and I was blown away by what an all encompassing experience it really is! With thousands of photographers in attendance, two full sized ballrooms filled with every photo item available and just about every big name in the industry in attendance I was literally worn out each day by the sheer enormity of it. I got home and needed a vacation from my vacation!

The good news is I was able to see and sample a LOT of products while I was down there. The end result is I will be adding some new books and canvases to my current offerings, so keep your eyes open for the soon to come samples! I’m REALLY excited to take my product list up that extra couple of notches… I think you will be too. :)

As if WPPI wasn’t a huge deal on it’s own, we even flew in early to hook up with Scott Robert for a little pre-WPPI workshop. Below are just some of the images I captured in those three days. All images (save one, which I have noted below) were posed and lit by me.
