Photographers and Friends- Pure Fun

Last Saturday I got to hang out with some wonderful friends who are also amazing photographers! Fawn invited her Nieces to be our models and we headed out to Verdi (for those of you that are not locals, Verdi is a little town that is nestled on the state line of Nevada and California just outside of Reno). Its really beautiful out there, and we ventured out to an old apple orchard and then headed down to the Truckee River! Our models (Caitlyn, Cierra and Cheyanne) were fabulous! These girls were really fun to take pictures of and they are just plain beautiful so it was easy to get really great images of them! Here are some of my favorite images, next week I'll be posting Fawns and her husbands pictures (they got some really cool ones)!

Have a fabulous weekend everyone!

Here is a fun shot that Fawn took of us!

Cheyanne, she was fabulous and climbed the tree in a dress!

Awesome Sauce-Photographer Friends

Last night I had the immense pleasure of joining 7 other fabulous women photographers for a Trash the Dress model session at Sand Harbor, Lake Tahoe! It was AWESOME! But not just any old "awesome" it was awesome like eating strawberries that have been dipped in chocolate sauce! Last nights photo shoot was dipped in awesome sauce! I have to give a big shout out to the amazingly talented and fabulous Melissa Vossler for coordinating the event and making it all possible, Thank you Melissa you rock times 10!

I didn't get home till late last night (well, late for me!) so I didn't have a chance to look through my images till this morning and as I was doing so this one image really stopped me in my tracks, I'm in love with it! Now this is the straight out of camera no editing done to it image. I love her real, natural expression and because she is relaxed and being natural she looks beyond glamorous!! When I get behind a camera my goal is to capture just that! People being relaxed and real, everybody is beautiful when having fun and being themselves! More to come later!

The Adventurous Type-Pure Fun

This past weekend Fawn and I joined some photographer friends for an afternoon of fun and photography! We traipsed around a big field braving Rattle Snakes, Ticks and very thorny flowers! We didn't actually encounter any Rattle Snakes or Ticks but just knowing they were out there made the outing all the more adventurous! The gals we were photographing were totally awesome and climbed trees, wadded through a river, hunched down in the poky grass and all while wearing dresses! They rock! Here is just a glimpse of our outing...more to come later this week! Happy Monday all!
