Tessa and Zach on the strip!

My new photo friend, Lauren Wright texted me during David Jay’s platform talk to see if I want to come shoot a couple with her on the strip! 

The couple is actually from Georgia, like Lauren, and the Tessa is her sorority sister!

 I decided to challenge myself a bit and really push my 5D to its limit.  I left my flash in the hotel room – on purpose!  It definitly was not easy, but I also got to see what my 50mm 1.4 could acheive!

Bethany’s #2

I met with Bethany at her house last week to take a few shots of her growing belly!  Baby Samantha is set to make her debut next month!

These pink bunny slippers belonged to Bethany as a baby – now they are waiting for Samantha!

WPPI: Part Two

This will be my last personal WPPI blog, but I have two more from Vegas that include actual photo shoots!  I was hoping my friends would be more punctual about getting me their photobooth photos (ahem Julia and Lauren!) but alas, I will post without!  I’m also anxiously waiting a SD Ohana Vegas post…hint hint! 😉

Amy and Kenny are engaged!

Last Saturday, we met Amy and Kenny at Wiens Winery in Temecula.  The day was full of laughs, from both Kenny and Amy.  Its amazing how much Kenny makes Amy laugh!  They are so adorable together and I’m really looking forward to their June wedding.

After Wiens (where they are getting married in a few months) we went up to Falkner Winery so I could check out their new reception area! Very nice!
