WPPI 2011

WPPI (Wedding & Portrait Photographers International) was in late February 
(yeah I'm totally late in getting this posted) 

Myself and 15 thousand other photographers flock to Las Vegas for a week long feast of all things photography!  The classes, the trade show and the connections and friendships made are all incredible and make this a event looked forward to each year.  This was my 2nd time attending and  once again I learned and gained so much from attending.  

This year Kathy Sco and I had Clisty B joining us for the fun and boy was there fun to be had.  Aside from spending all day in amazing classes, meet ups and drooling over the goodies on the trade show floor we had a blast goofing off till the wee hours as only Mom's with a few days away from their kids can do!

The view from our room at the MGM Signature

Soaking in the swakiness of the Cosmopolitan Hotel and it's enormous chandelier.

 

This rad store which the name escapes me now had these super rad old sewing machines all over the store, WAY cool!

 

Clisty deep in thought...

 Glad I lugged the "real" camera... most of my shots were using my phone! :)

 I could stand and watch these fountains for hours.. so pretty!

 

Me and Melissa from New Skin Media!  This gal stinking ROCKS!   She is the super creative megamind behind my new cuteness at Darbym.com! Yep that is my website on her literature! Whoot! She is an amazing designer, if you need a new custom Smug site skin or blog or facebook fan page... give her a call and tell her I sent ya!

Shall we talk about the food in Vegas... Yum -o!  Good thing we did a ton of walking all week.

Tamara Lackey is always a fav.

Ma Ra Koh rocked my world, loved her message. (LOADS more on this in another post)

Clisty and Kristen at the uber cool penthouse suite at the MGM, gotta love our Smug lunches, I always learn so much and love hearing how others are using the Smug tools!

As mentioned before I 100% cherish the connections made during this week... the late night discussions over ice cream, the chats in line waiting for your favorite speakers,  I come home excited and proud of what I do and excited to put into action all that i've learned!

Stay tuned for more thoughts on WPPI real soon!

What to wear for a winter family photo session...

Well at least it feels like winter today here in Colorado!  The air is chilly the sun went to bed at noon and there is a dusting of snow on my yard.

When the weather turns chilly I love the options we have to add to our wardrobe for photos.  Tights for mom and little girls, scarfs and hats all add texture and layers which I LOVE.

Below are some great sibling ideas for that upcoming family photo session that I know all those Moms out there have been stressing over! :)

More of Little "8 day new" Carson! {Denver Newborn Photographer}

Rachel can you bring him back over to snuggle?  I love little newbies. 

C is for Carson

Just look at this precious wee one!  I had the pleasure of spending an awesome afternoon with this little 8 day old bundle, his Mama and Grandma.

He was soooo good during his photo shoot just slept (and wet) and let me snuggle him and put him into all sorts of poses. 

Just one sneak peek for now, more to come soon! Oh so yummy and cute!

More awesome wardrobe ideas!
