Red lipstick and a black dress

Hi friends,
Here's another pretty model from the Vegas shoot~


Enjoy your weekend!
Yours truly is taking a few days off. :)

Wppi Award :)

Unless I'm being sarcastic and goofy, I'm not a bragger.

But.....this is a happy bragger post. So I'm about to brag. ;)

I submitted two images from India for the 16x20 competition prints for WPPI. I'm happy to say that one of them made it. It was displayed in a room inside the MGM with other winners and a pretty little ribbon that went around it indicating a winner. I wish I had taken a picture, bahhhh.

Anyway, I received this email today and decided to blog it along with the image of the gypsy whom I photographed in Kashmir while hiking in the himalayas.

It was by far one of my favorite days of 2008. Story goes like this: I remember spinning in the rain like that crazy lady in Sound of Music on top of the green hills, happy as I could ever be, AND running back to my guesthouse to grab my camera after i met this lady whose face just captivated me. Thank god the guesthouse was only 30 minutes away from the lady's tent!
Her family made hot tea for me and we just smiled and trying to make conversation. They found it exciting to meet a foreigner and I found it double exciting to meet them. They made me promise to send them the pictures.
And OH how I've attempted but they closed down the road getting to them, I found out after communicating via email with the guide who took me there.

I might have to go back and hand them the pictures myself. ;)









The man on the right is her son. He's writing the address down of a shop owner he knows so i can mail him the pictures. :(

Miss Sexy- Vegas Model Shoot

Dave Baxter, aka rockin' photographer in San Diego, put together a photoshoot with some beautiful models while we were out in Las Vegas for WPPI.
I've been wanting to do a shoot with him and the california peeps for a while now! What a fabulous time and great opportunity it was to not only shoot together, but to finally meet some of my internet friends face to face. I felt like I already knew everyone.
So thank you Dave, and ps I love your family.

...so.......here's the first model.
She's sexy and gorgeous if I must say so myself~!!

I will post more in a few days. Lots of good stuff to come!

Out of office

Hi friends,
I'm attending the WPPI convention in Vegas {insert happy smile here} and will be out of office until the 19th.

Have a great week!

Here's another pretty bride from the Sedona photoshoot.

I only got about 10 minutes with her, if that.

But what i got, I love!

I'm trying to post process each bride differently. Her style is more sun-flare-ish.

Jeremy and July

This was one of the couples that I had the opportunity of photographing in Sedona last weekend.
They are SO beautiful together and a ton of fun!

Sedona, Arizona Bridal Shoot

Yesterday, some 50 photographers from Arizona got together and went up north to Sedona where the beauty is reflected by the Red Rock Mountains and gorgeous landscape.

I've never photographed anything or anyone with that many people shooting at the same time even though we broke up in groups. It was nuts!!! LOL

This is Camille below. She was fantastic and fun~

I have many more coming up the entire month of February. Stay tuned! :D
