The Desert Rose: Las Vegas

Hello Everyone!

Yes, we are in fact still alive after our long trip out to Las Vegas for the 2009 WPPI Convention. We had SO much fun hanging out with old friends, making wonderful new friends, and hitting up some of the best parties we've ever been to on the strip! To give you an idea, we were up from around 9am until 4am each and every day, going non-stop from one thing to the next! It's taken us all of this past week to even begin to catch up on the toll Vegas has taken (and we love it by the way, haha).

Being surrounded by over 10,000 photographers this past week, it definitely got our itchy trigger fingers looking for opportunities to shoot with some of the amazing talent represented at the convention. While walking the trade room floor Erin and I met up with Victor Sizemore, an amazing local OC photographer (who just so happens to attend the church we do). Anyways, we ran into him and he mentioned a shoot he was organizing about 45 minutes outside of Vegas and was kind enough to invite us along! We couldn't wait!

After a car ride we will not soon forget with Ted, Kortnee Kate, Aaron Dieppa, and Barb, we arrived at our location in the middle of NOWHERE. Already our creative juices were practically coming out of our ears and despite the bitter wind and cold, we jumped out and put those trigger fingers to work!

Liz, our gorgeous model (and former Miss Kentucky) was such a good sport posing for all of us and not even complaining once that it was 40 degrees; she could barely feel her fingers! Thanks Liz!

More to come (including our first video blog) on our adventures in Vegas. But for now we hope you'll enjoy our latest!

Life Mission and Armani: Working for Change

Two weeks ago, I got a call from Cheyne Jackson, the brother of one of our brides who is getting married in December. Cheyne works for Armani, and within that past week had felt called to get involved with Life Mission and try to raise more awareness to what is already a heart-breaking issue. The event was held at Pepperdine University on the cliffs of Malibu, CA and the guest list ranged from movie stars, Black Eyed Peas, students, models, and humanitarians alike all coming together to raise money for an amazing cause! Cheyne's original photographer was called away at the last minute to fly to Milan or somewhere (I hate it when that happens, haha), so he called us and we felt so honored to be involved with such a cause and wanted to give back in any way that we could!
The show was fantastic! The weather was gorgeous, the clothes were amazing, the models were sizzling, and everyone gave to help those whose voices fall upon deaf ears.
Here are some of our favorites from the show!
