and boy am I wiped out!!! It was a great week. I had a chance to meet up with some friends and make a ton of new ones. Hit some parties and some seminars. I had mentoring sessions with two of my favorite photographers - Anna Kuperberg and Jose Villa. Both were tremendously generous and helped me fine tune the photos for my new website and had great advice for helping me stay on track in the next year and stay true to myself and my style of shooting. I can’t wait for my next wedding – April 14th :)
I had a number of shoots lined up while I was in Vegas but things fell through so a few of us, including my roomie Miranda Lievers, put together a last minute shoot in the desert with Denisse, our “bride” for the day. It was awesome and I want to give a big thank you to Erik Dungan for tracking down a model and driving us all out there! Eric is a photographer AND the owner of Big Folio, websites for photographers!
It was a blast shooting out there in the dust and wind and cold – haha! No really it was fun, I love the pics I got and can’t wait to do my next bridal/day after/trash the dress with a real bride. Anyone? Anyone? Cause I know you real brides and grooms could totally look this great! So who wants to do this?
yippeeeee leigh… we are your next wedding!!!! you can try out any new tricks that you learned at your seminars on us and the animals! :)
i can’t wait!!!!!
