I just returned home from a wonderful 4 day trip to Las Vegas for WPPI (Wedding and Portrait Photographers International) Convention! It was such an amazing trip. I spent the time with some of my very good friends and fellow photographers from around the country. I also had a wonderful time at the trade show and saw some inspirational photographers speak. We had several shoots together and also had a fun time out on the town
Here are just a few highlights from our trip!


One of my favorite pullbacks 



And these 2 were taken by the very talented Giovanna McBryde of Bell’Anima Photography in Palm Beach County, Florida. She was great enough to take a picture for me for my blog and also shared a group shot to post!


I can’t wait to go back next year!
If you are from around the country outside of Indiana, I highly recommend these ladies I spent the past 5 days with. They are amazing photographers and amazing people. You can find them here:

Probably the *most* asked question as a photographer is about cost. I recently came across a great article that explains what exactly makes custom photography different and wanted to share with all of you.
What is Custom Photography?
Why Choose Custom Photography?
Why Does Custom Photography Cost More?

You might remember back around the holidays when I participated in a national giveaway where families were nominated for a free photography session and prints based on economic need and hardship. The emails I recieved from those who nominated the families were very hard for me to read, and made my decision extremely difficult. However, I had the pleasure of photographing Laura and her children today who were the winners from this giveaway! I hope that I helped them capture the memories that every family deserves and put a few smiles on their faces. This family deserves it. Enjoy your sneak peek!!
