I’m not a big gambler, but was thrilled to be heading to Las Vegas for the annual Wedding & Portrait Photographers International conference last week. I was able to catch up with my favorite photographer friends, make some new ones, and even hosted my brother Joshua who came in from LA for a couple of nights. He is the best dancer and we ended up staying at Studio 54 until nearly 4 am… oh, I’m still paying for that one!
One friend I loved seeing was my girl Allison from Montreal. Her husband Chris was tending to their adorable son Gabe during the lecture time, and would meet up now and then for a meal or quick visit. Thankfully, we were able to sneak in a quick little family session. We savored the palm trees swaying in the crisp blue sky, knowing that snow was waiting for us. I wish we’d had more time… but isn’t that always the case? Gabe was a little uncertain about the shoulder thing at first…
He changed his mind quickly! 
Mom and Dad even got a few moments of adult time…
Can’t wait to see you guys in Seattle!

Being a photographer I have nary an image of myself or my family all together. I am so happy you offered to take our portraits. These are really beautiful. I just want to blow them up and put them on my walls.
You are a great photographer, I am proud to call you a friend and not just a colleague.
Looking forward to the next time we can hang out, take pictures.

Allison! It was such a gift to be able to capture your sweet little family. I just wish Montreal wasn’t so dang far away… xoxox Hope to see you here SOON!
