Me and My Gang

No, not the Rascal Flatts song! LOL Us! The tremendously talented Krissy Allori was just visiting in the San Diego area and we were lucky enough to have her do our family pictures. She is a portland area photographer and for all you Portlanders, go book a session! She rocks! I’ll put a few of them below but if you want to see them all you can here: Krissy Allori. Thank you, Krissy!

7.24.10 David and Krystle = LOVE.

This past weekend I had the privilege of seeing David and Krystle, photographer friends I met on a wedding photography forum last year, get hitched in Las Vegas! Super fun! Also met some new photographer friends in person that I had first met online, Ray Prevost and Marcia Gold. It’s extra fun when you feel like you “know” people you have never even met in real life before and it just seems like you’ve been friends for a long time.  That’s how it was with this group combined from Halifax, Owatonna, Modesto, LA, to Temecula.  Anyways, on to the pictures! We started at the Valley Of Fire, about 45 mins outside of Vegas and HOT as hell in July but it was worth it.  Mr. Ray knew the places to go here!  P.S. Krystle made her bouquet out of vintage brooches.  Isn’t it the coolest bouquet ever?!

We werent allowed to take pictures during the ceremony due to chapel rules but these were after the cermony in our hotel lobby. I love some pics where you can see the spicey-ness between a couple! Rawr!

Congratulations, David and Krystle!!

Ooh, and afterwards we went to dinner and look at this cute surprise flamingo cake that Marcia Gold ordered.  So adorable (this is just with my camera phone.)

One more personal post…..:)

My little soon to be ballerina! I love taking “funky” pics for fun and thought her twirling in her new ballet outfit would be perfect for that.

P.S.  Boudoir album post coming up next! As in tonight….I promise! HAHA

Bad Blogger……AGAIN.

Sorry! I am such a terrible blogger. I kind of figure people come here to look at pictures and not for my stellar writing skills (*snicker*) so if I dont have permission for blog sneaks I just neglect the blog all together!  I am working on putting up some pics of the albums so that will be up in the next day ish.

Hmm, what else? Ooh, I also started taking Zumba classes. Those are really fun! If you havent tried it yet, you should!  I have the coordination of a newborn giraffe so if I can do it, everyone can do it!

School is almost out! Yay! Waking a kid up at 7 am that doesnt want to be woken up (dont blame him!) is NOT fun.  Why does elementary school start at 7:40 anyways? I am SOOOO looking forward to summer break!

AND….because no blog post should be without images………

My little monkey, Daphne, acting crazy (gee, I wonder where she gets that?)

Daphne giving my niece, Sophie, a smooch

and see, I do have a son. He exists.  Jevin is not a camera fan.  Playing Rockband with papa.

See? I told you.  LOL He’s saying “no pics!”

Okay, I will stop now. ;) Hope everyone has a great rest of the week. I have some summer openings for boudoir sessions too, give me a holler if you are interested.

Introducing “Minus the Boobies” Mini Sessions

You are probably wondering “what the heck is that?!”  Well, here goes. HAHA The past few weeks I have been getting A LOT of requests for headshots and sessions for up and coming models who are building their portfolios.  They didnt really want “boudoir” but I got emails that said “we love your style, can you still help us?”  I thought about it and yes I can! It’s just LIKE boudoir, MINUS THE BOOBIES!

If you are interested in booking one of these sessions (limited dates available), shoot me an email or give me a holler at 951.440.9939.  A new FAQ about these sessions will be available on my website tomorrow.
