Happy New Years! I'd love to see a New Years engagements session with all the shiny glitz and glamour of ringing in the new year.
Anyone has fabulous New Years plans?

Let Them Eat Cake!
I've been dying to show off these images since we shot last month at the Jean Dry Lake Bed. I belong to a photographer's group that meets once a month to share ideas, knowledge and just plain support each other. Our group leader, Chelsea Nicole, in her generosity; set up this spectacular Marie Antoinette themed stylized shoot for us all. And WOW! - Did we have a great time!
We had three models, all of each were so gorgeous and such champs. They braved the cold chilly weather in their gowns while we all bundled in our jackets, scarfs and gloves.
A shout out to all the fantastic collaborators who put it all together. They totally out did themselves.
Concept and Art Direction: Chelsea Nicole
Cake: Gimme Some Sugar
Hair and Makeup: Your Beauty Call
Floral: Layers of Lovely
Table and Decor: Elizabeth Le
And then came my favorite part: destroying the cake. 'Let them eat cake!'
Rhodes Ranch Wedding: Alex & Tania
It was as perfect weather as you could get for a December wedding in Las Vegas. Sunny with puffy clouds and a gentle breeze. And Tania had all her family around her as he got dresses in her parents home.
Then on to the Rhodes Ranch Golf Course for the ceremony where they had a beautiful view of the little lake, golf course and mountains in the distance.
I love her face here, like "That's right, I know I look good." And she does!
And off into the sunset. Happily Ever After.
I'm Envisioning... a Winter Picnic
Everyone always wants what they don't have, right? So living in the desert my whole life makes me crave snow. I want a white Christmas!
So with my snow dream, I'm thinking of a kind of winter picnic or feast. Outside in the evergreens with a little table for two that has steaming plates of Christmas dinner. Fur coats and warm gloves over a white wedding dress. Can't you just smell the pine and feel the frost on your nose?
Anyone up for a winter wonderland Trash the Dress before the snow melts up at Mt. Charleston?
Christmas is coming!
My husband hates having his picture taken. (Which can be torturous on a his poor photographer wife.) So I couldn't talk him into a Christmas card photo session. But my son is still to young to say no to me! So I let him play wrap himself up in the Christmas lights.
How is the Christmas planning going for you?
