I am SO excited to announce that the Mom*tog Unposing Guide is finally done and ready for purchase!  The Unposing Guide is for professional photographers (or pros in training) who want to learn how to take more relaxed and fun family portraits.  What is an Unpose? It’s a means to get to the reactions and interactions I want from my clients. It’s a way to break the habit of saying “Cheese!”. And a way to break the ice. Every time I use an Unpose I get different results because each family is unique and different. I love capturing families being themselves at that particular stage in their lives. I don’t want to pose them and make them something they’re not. Sometimes it’s the Unpose I want to photograph and other times it’s the reaction from the Unpose I want. Both are great for capturing relaxed and natural family sessions!

A couple of weeks I go I went to Las Vegas to shoot Lisa and Ricky’s wedding!  Viva Las Vegas!  I’ve always wanted to shoot a wedding there.  But, seeing as I’m a natural light shooter who loves shooting outdoors, shooting in a dark casino presented it’s challenges.  However, this gave me a great opportunity to use my off camera flash and I had a ton of fun with it and I’m super excited about the images!  It’s a different look, but I think a very fun one!

Sadly, Lisa wasn’t feeling well so we didn’t get to take quite as many pictures as I would have liked.  The Wynn is amazing and I could have shot there for hours!  But, the wedding was beautiful and perfect!  The reception was held at the G Suite at the Palms. It’s a mini replica of the Ghost Bar.  How fun is that?  

Besides the beautiful location, the lovely bride and groom, and the awesome details, my most favorite part about this wedding had to be all of the British accents.  Ricky is British and so are his friends and family.  It was so much fun to hear them talk!  I know, I’m a dork, but I have a thing for accents!

Congratulations, Lisa and Richard!  I hope the honeymoon (alternate location and all) was amazing!  Here’s your slideshow!

You know how much I love a pair of Louboutins!

The bracelet attached to the bouquet was Lisa Grandma’s baby bracelet

The lobby in the Wynn is gorgeous and has so many different looks

Someone loves Chanel and her name is Lisa

Here’s some of that off camera flash

My favorite picture of the day.  Love the looks on Lisa’s brother and mom’s faces.  

I love a perfect wedding day.  Perfect couple, perfect venue, perfect Fall day, perfect vendors to help make the day run smoothly.  And that’s exactly what April and Patrick’s wedding day was.  Perfect.  April and Patrick were married at the St. Regis Monarch Beach.  With an October wedding at the beach you can never really predict if it will be 90 degrees or raining, but the weather was a perfect 78 degrees.  Both the ceremony site and reception site were so intimate.  I loved that.  Their reception site, Club 19, was outside and when you’re getting married by the beach I love being outside and not in a ballroom.  April and Patrick both looked stunning, but more importantly they were so happy.  They were beaming!  Michelle from Details Details was the coordinator for the wedding and I know the day will always run smoothly with Details Details on board.  The amazing White Lilac did the flowers and decor.  I always love to see what they come up with!

April and Patrick, congratulations!  Thank you for having me shoot your wedding day!  It has been so much fun getting to know you.  You two are absolutely perfect for each other!  I hope you two are having a fabulous European honeymoon!  Can’t wait to hear all about it!  Here’s your slideshow!

The blue brooch was April’s grandmother’s and April place it on her bouquet.  

Love the flowers from the always amazing White Lilac

This rosary was also April’s Grandmother’s.

I just love the St. Regis.  Such a plethora of places to shoot.

First look

I caught Patrick watching football over my head.  But, it’s okay because it was UCLA

The gorgeous cake was from Filigree Cakes.  The detail was incredible!

They had a cookie bar with cookies from my most favorite place in the whole wide world!  Diddy Riese!  I’m not going to lie.  I ate one.  Or maybe two.
