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! 😉

WPPI: Part One

I am still not on a normal sleeping schedule!  Tim and I got home early Wednesday morning and I have been going non-stop since!  I saw some awesome speakers, met some amazing new people and hung with the coolest photog friends a girl could ask for!  I have to split my WPPI posts in sections…way too much to talk about!

This shot was taken on Monday night at the Pay It Forward/Photolove Cat party!  I’ll name these lovely ladies off clockwise from the left!  Rowena, Melissa K., me, Alyssa, Jeanette and Nataly!

Tim, Jen, Kristen and I are leaving tomorrow morning for Las Vegas! WPPI  is the largest wedding and portrait photographer convention each year. There will be 10,000+ Photographers in one location. Wow!  It will be a week full of learning, meeting new friends and enjoying life outside of So Cal 🙂

I will have very limited access to the internet and my email, so please be patient if you need to get ahold of me.  I will be back on Thursday!

Have a great week!

XOXO, M

Good Luck Jamie!

My future sister in law, Melissa, asked me to come take some photos at her best friends going away party.  Jamie decided that she wants to open her own business in Oregon! Wow!

Here is the reason for the party, Jamie:

Ok, now the good stuff!  Jamie is a pastry chef!  Look at this spread she made!  My fav was the mini lemon merangue pies! I’m trying to convince her to come back to make my wedding cake! haha

Good luck in the Pacific Northwest, Jamie!  Don’t freeze in the snow from today!

XOXO, M

Photographer Meet-Up!

Last week we had an awesome time hanging out with Brandon and Julia Williams. I met them down in Mira Mesa at the fountain where Tim proposed. They took some super cute shots of us, which you can see by clicking on Julia’s name above.

Waiting for them to show up…I thought this was a cool tree!
The lovely Julia:

Julia and Brandon:
I love this one!


Me and Julia (photo by Tim):
This was hillarious, Brandon lifted her up off the fountain, much to her surprise!

After, we headed over to Islands for fun, food and Photo talk!

And then bowling in Kearny Mesa!! Nice shoes (and socks) Tim!

I didn’t bowl since I still had some pain from my surgery, but the 3 of them did great!
Thanks for the fun night you guys! I look forward to more in the future!

XOXO,
M (&T)
