Ski week! In February, Alex and I headed east for a long weekend in the mountains. He went snowboarding two of the days, while I found plenty of other ways to entertain myself, since I can ski but I don’t love it nearly as much as Alex does. We stayed in Reno, Nevada, which I had…
I didn’t gamble or go clubbing or even do much shopping, but I did enjoy a very fancy hotel stay and lots of delicious meals during my time in Vegas. A bit unconventional perhaps, but since Jesse was there for a work conference, I simply tagged along for the week! It also kicked off our little West Coast…
I have a funny relationship with this city in the desert. I am not much of a gambler or a partier or much of anything that Vegas is known for. I enjoy coming to Vegas when it’s with the right people, but being on the strip for more than a couple days easily becomes overwhelming….
Every Monday, I feature an image and backstory from my Pointe of View series. Just a couple days ago, I was on a mini vacation in Las Vegas. I have so many travels booked this year, but these couple months are truly packed with travel and weddings. It’s busy and wonderful. Below, one of my favorites from…
My 2013 has been off to a crazy start, including a month of travels kicked off with visits to two familiar places– Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Below are just a few frames from those two spots: Los Angeles: food, food, and food. I seem to have made my Red Rock Canyon hikes an annual…
Those of you who have been following me for a while know that I also have a wedding videography business named Seaglass Cinema. We are just starting out but are so very excited about the work that we are doing. Videography is truly a beautiful medium for storytelling, and we love capturing our couples on…
Tens of thousands of photographers in Las Vegas? It must be WPPI, the annual Wedding & Portrait Photographers (International) convention. This was my first time at WPPI, and I was prepared to be completely overwhelmed and hoping to be inspired. As it turns out, inspiration trumped overwhelmed-ness, and all in all, I had a great time….
4AM, the alarms were going off. We clumsily got ourselves together, fumbling around to pack everything up. 4:30, We walked through the hotel, noting scantily clad women draping themselves over happy men, still living in yesterday. We cut through the brisk dark air as we walked down the Vegas Strip. Deserted. Just past 5AM, we…
We wove through the scenic drive, driving past the red rocks and stopping at the base of the trails. We didn’t see the albino sheep I was promised (and aren’t they already white?), but we did get to see an awesome icy waterfall that started as just a small stream atop the mountain and spilled…
A week ago Mayline sent this to our inboxes: Who: Interested in design, typography, or vintage pieces of Americana? Love taking epic photos with unique, gigantic props? This looks like it will be right up your alley. What: The Neon Museum houses old neon signs from the Las Vegas strip, and the guided tour gives you details on when/how/why the signs…
Thank you so much to everyone for the birthday wishes. I apologize if my phone was off and I was unresponsive to Facebook posts, as was out in the desert for much of the day. A group of at least twenty of us took a brief trip out of Las Vegas to visit Red Rock…
There are neon lights and sparkling lights and reflections of lights that crowd the strip. This must be America’s playground. Architects get to come and build things that aren’t reasonable or practical by any means, and it all fits right in. Here is a glimpse of where I am for the weekend. An amazing almost-penthouse…
