“imma be”

Yes folks, I will be out of the office until March 10, 2010 and will kindly respond to all messages upon my return.  I will be spending the next few days at the annual  Wedding Portraits & Photographers International (WPPI) Convention & Trade Show in Las Vegas.  I will be learning, networking, spending and hopefully making some money at the same time :) .  Yes, the things I must do for my job!!!!  If you are going, be sure to message me on twitter to meet up!  I will be lil’ Asian girl with braces and too many bags of things I bought from the tradeshow.

Check back to the blog next week because there are TONS of blog goodiness on the way.  Here’s a sneak peek of just SOME of the MANY things to come:

“beautiful girls”

Shooting (and modeling for) the Leavin Las Vegas “trash the dress” (TTD) session was definitely one of the highlights of my WPPI trip in Vegas. For those of you who don’t know, a TTD session is a great excuse for brides to wear their wedding gowns one, two or even ten more times =), resulting in some creative, fun, funky, modern and whatever kind of portraits that a traditional wedding day doesn’t always allow for. Actually trashing the gown is not a requirement, but having a good time always is!

Miss Jonilyn, her gorgeous gown and the beauty of the Red Rock Canyon set the stage for a perfect TTD session. Thank you to the other beautiful models as well!

Here are my favorite shots of the day:

“please don’t stop the music’”

Hi everyone!!! Wow – what a crazy and fun week it has been for me! I spent all last week at my home-away-from-home – Las Vegas!!! I attended the annual Wedding Portraits & Photographers International (WPPI) Convention & Trade Show, where I networked with wonderful photographers, picked up some new gear and shot some amazing sessions. I think I slept a total of 30 hours all week but it was sooo worth it! Then on Saturday, I shot Wendy & Wes‘ fabulous wedding which was also in lovely Las Vegas. In the midst of it all, I managed to lose some moola at the blackjack tables =( and keep up with the real “ March Madness” in support of my UCLA Bruins!!! Bruins all the way baby! Then I rushed home on Sunday to celebrate Easter with the phamily. *Whew!*

Stay tuned for posts on all the madness!!!
