Bridal Session in the Desert

Fun, fun, fun - We had a great time at Picacho Peak State Recreation Area doing Michelle's bridal portrait session. We borrowed the awesome props from her soon to be mother in law's store, Timeless Elegance Antiques. Michelle is not going to be wearing a traditional dress at her wedding so we used a beautiful vintage gown. I loved being able to work in the desert, even though we couldn't find any of the saguaro cactus we were looking for. That is actually the moon you see in the sky in the bottom image. You can view Michelle's slideshow **here**.

Catching Up......

I'm currently in AZ, supposedly on vacation, however I'm starting to pick up quite a few sessions. It will be challenging and exciting to work in an entirely different environment. I'm also hoping, again while "on vacation" to catch up with posting all the work I've been doing on this blog.

I'll start catching up by posting my latest wedding, for Jenica and Kevin, which took place in South Lake Tahoe, NV on December 15.


This is one of my favorite images from their wedding. We actually went out the next morning, back to Edgewood Golf Course for a fun session. We did a few things inside utilizing the beautiful architecture then braved the 24 degree temperture outside for as long as Jenica could tolerate it. I was happy to get the chance to do that and really think the images came out great! You can view their slideshow by clicking **here**.
