Magalie + Travis | Puerto Vallarta Day After Session

Amber — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 19:04:15 +0000

We were supposed to head out the day after Magalie and Travis’ wedding to do a day after session in the streets of Puerto Vallarta – unfortunately, the weather had a different idea for us as it was unbearably hot and none of us could bear the idea of doing anything other than lounging in the shade. We all decided it would be best if we got up early in the morning on our last day in Mexico to shoot the session and I’m so glad we did – the temperature was just lovely and it felt like we had the streets all to ourselves.

After spending some time in PV we then headed down to a local beach for a few more shots…

Sigh… what a wonderful way to spend a morning!

Hi everyone! I’m back from England and in the saddle again – there’s SO many great sessions in the pipe I thought I would put together a quick preview post to give you an idea of what to look forward to. Can’t wait to share them all with you!

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.

^Full credit for this shot goes to Bandele Zuberi, who let me shoot over his shoulder. I just love the simplicity of it so much I had to share here… good eye Bandele!^

A huge thank you once again to all our models for rocking it out despite the chilling winds!
