If you’ve been reading this blog for long enough, you’ll know that every year I swear that I’ve had the best couples ever…auntil the next year rolls around and I’m all, “SQUIRREL!” and I’m dying over those sessions, and so the hamster wheel keeps turning. But I digress. This year, I had some of the […]

The thing about traveling with a bunch of photographers is that there is literally a shoot EVERY MINUTE of every day – which let’s be honest, I freaking love. When we went to Portland last Spring, we shot 4 (5? who knows) sessions pretty much back to back and we woke up at dawn to […]

If you’ve never visited Vegas in the winter…well, it’s actually cold. We pulled this last minute styled shoot together the night before & then braved the 40 degree temps, winds & driving rain to shoot for 15 minutes at the Jean Dry Lake Bed just outside of the city.
