Evette and her family

On Sunday I got to photograph my friend Evettes family.  They are all so beautiful and I'm so glad I got the opportunity to photograph them.

Mary & Daniels Las Vegas Wedding

On Sunday, Sept 28th  I got to go to my fave little city to do my fave little thing, shoot a wedding.  This was the perfect wedding for me because I love shooting weddings and I just LOVE Las Vegas.  And it was at The Mandalay Bay.  I had it all planned out.  We were going to go to the Moorea Beach Club (Mandalay Bay Pool check out the virtual tour it's HOT) to do the bride & groom shoot and then we would sneak out to the strip for a quick strip pic (wow tongue twister) but it didn't work out that way.  Daniel was done after the ceremony & wanted to go to the reception & relax.  I tried and tried but the answer stayed no.  We took some inside the hotel but I wanted to go outside.  I was bummed because there was soooo much drama in the sky with a summer storm brewing & the pics would have been amazing but I didn't want to make anyone upset so I sucked it up and went with the flow against my better judgement.  The couple had The Vista Suite (take the virtual tour online) so I knew I would be able to get some incredible strip pics but nope.  Actually, I did get them just without the couple :)  About an hour into the reception Daniel came up to me and said "lets do this" he just needed a few drinks and to relax.  Unfortunately they didn't want to go outside and the sun was already down at this point but we did get some really steamy fun pics.  Of course I wanted to take great photos for me but I now consider Mary a friend and I really wanted her to have fantastic wedding pics.  After all The Mandalay Bay provides a photographer with their wedding packages and they hired me on top of that.  Well it all worked out and I can rest assured knowing that they got what they wanted even if they didn't know it at the time.  :)  I have added a little teaser of their photos, click on them for a larger view.  Enjoy and thanks to Mary & Daniel I had a blast.

Art Las Vegas style

Back in July I went to Vegas for 3 days and of course where I go my camera goes.  We were walking in the Forum when I spotted this add (hello it jumps out at you).  I loved all the black surrounding it and how the reflection was so reflective of the poster. ( I was trying to be funny there).  Ok so as cheesy as this sounds this really was beautiful to me in an artistic way.  Yes it didn't hurt that he is just a god!
