Just a couple from our Vegas Desert Shoot!

I have tons of photos to go through, but since I've been getting a lot of pressure to show them off, I wanted to post a shot of each of the friends who came with me to Red Rock Canyon on Tuesday! I think we got some really great stuff in between desert snow storms! Yes, you heard me right, SNOW STORMS in the DESERT!!!?

First up, this shot was a group effort- big thanks to Dustin for bringing the pocket wizards and helping to get the lighting perfect!

Here's Stevie T!

Next up, Kat Foley! Thanks again to Dustin for climbing up that big rock to light this one just right :)

And finally, here's Dustin looking fierce! Thanks Stevie, for being my human light stand for this one!

Don't these guys make great models?!

Bliss Weddings Photo of the Year Contest!

Hello everyone! I'm back from Vegas, and have tons to share!
But first off, I came home to discover that I placed second in Bliss Wedding's Photo Contest of the Year!!

Big thanks to Bliss Weddings, and to everyone who voted for me!!!

This really touched me today...

From Paulo Coelho- "There are things that are brought into our lives to lead us back to the true path of our personal legend. Other things arise so we can apply all that we have learned. And, finally, some things come along to teach us."

There may be something in your life that doesn't feel right- doesn't fit with the dreams you have for yourself, or seems to be taking you off track from where you want to be. Take the time to step back, and evaluate. I recently had a chat with a past mentor of mine about my own life's journey. I was feeling frustrated, and he told me that what I was doing wasn't taking me away from my goal, rather the things I was learning would be of help to me in eventually reaching that goal.

Don't be disappointed if you feel stuck or even wandering aimlessly at times- take what you've learned, and start back up again towards your dream.

I'll leave you with a photo I took last year in the desert near Vegas. Fitting, as I'm heading there again on Sunday!



Love, and well wishes,
Nicole

Really big news coming up next week...

In the form of a HUGE contest...



Did I get your attention ;)?...

Denise and Michael's Wedding Slideshow!

I have been working like crazy to catch up with all the holiday weddings I had last season! I finished Denise and Michael's slideshow, and wanted to share it with you all. This couple is so sweet together, and it was wonderful to be able to witness their special day!
