Wow I can't believe all of the comments on the Flaunt Your Rock Contest!  Its great to see so many people voting!  There is still a week left of voting so if you haven't voted yet be sure to help one of the couples out - things are pretty close and even a few votes might end up making the difference!

Most of you may not know but last week was the biggest photographer's convention, WPPI, in Vegas - and I'm kicking myself for not going.  Not only was there a ton of killer workshops like Mike Colon's Seven Workshop, and Nate and Jaclyn Kasier,'s The ShootShop Workshop, there was a HUGE trade show with tons of vendors.  I faithfully followed all of the twitter updates from all of my photographer friends hoping to get a glimpse of what's to come - and luckily they all pulled through!  I've got a ton of ideas going through my head of new products to offer, and services to try!  Stay tuned for all the juicy details!

Another thing I missed out on in Vegas was networking.  There were over 15,000, Yes 15,000!, wedding and portrait photographers attending the WPPI conference.  A ton of the people I have the upmost amount of respect for were there - and I so wanted to go to meet them.  I am marking off the dates next year already - as I really believe a conference like this can bring my work to another level.

Which brings me to the reasoning behind this post.  I'm offering a sale!  Its not something I do very often - but I've been inspired via reading all the twitter and blog posts from WPPI I wanted to give something back to all of my blog readers.  So here it goes!

Not engaged or already married?  A good friend of mine reminded me how important it is to document your life together - and not just at the "big" moments in your life.  You'll see in some upcoming posts that alot of my clients are coming for either repeat sessions after their wedding, or even when they are in the early stages of dating!  Photo sessions are what you make of it - and trust me its going to be beautiful and a ton of fun!

Now because every post deserves a photo - here is one I took today of a couple that is just *too* cute!  They were helping me test out a camera I had rented and I think that I just may be getting myself into some trouble!

XOXO

Kaitlin contacted me back in December about doing a quick bridal shoot in February before her wedding in Las Vegas in March.  I thought it was such a great idea to get some photos here in the snow before having a vastly different background down south.  Jeff and Kaitlin are such a cute couple and are going to make wonderful parents this fall.  I hope you two have a great time at your wedding and can't wait to see all your photos when you get back!

I'm super happy to blog this engagement session!  Its my last one before a two week vacation to the Mayan Riviera, Mexico!!!  While I can't wait to get away to feel the warmth of the sun I was so excited to shoot these two.  I've know TJ for years - and had the pleasure of meeting Kari when they first moved up here in September.  I know you'll agree that Kari is absolutely stunning and they make a perfect pair.  Since we knew it was supposed to warm up this weekend I recommended tying on some skates and heading to a outdoor rink.  Since TJ had played hockey since he could walk - and Kari being originally from Alaska I thought it was a great idea!  Well the weather didn't warm up as much as expected - but we still got some great images - these two are naturals and I can't wait to shoot their wedding this summer in the beautiful Okangan.
