Winter Warmth {Kicking up the heat with Boudoir photography}

There is nothing better than giving the perfect gift.  To see the smile that floods their face and mists their eyes, and the swelling of love at such a thoughtful gesture, so very rewarding.  So, how about kicking that up a notch or ten?  Well, for a couple of very lucky gentlemen, their wives truly gave them “the best present EVER” (direct quote from both) with the Little Black Book.  Thank you both for trusting me and for being such incredible subjects! It was a total treat to capture these gorgeous women, knowing the wonderful surprise that was in store for their lovies.  

 

 

 

 

Winning some family time in Las Vegas, Family Portrait Session, Las Vegas, NV

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…DSC_0003-EditHe changed his mind quickly!
