Puppy photos!
Great wedding favor idea!
WPPI recap (Monday’s events…)
In the afternoon, I attended a class that was supposed to teach better photoshop workflow techniques but it definitely wasn't all it was cracked up to be…who actually wants to try to memorize every photoshop shortcut there is out there?! Talk about a waste of time, I'd much rather spend the time memorizing the most used shortcuts and then run actions on the rest of the pics. :O LOL
Anyway, aside from that, all of the seminars and speakers were awesome and had a lot of great ideas. We even had some time throughout the afternoon to run over to The Forum Shops where I treated dad to one of his favorite seafood restaurants for lunch. The shopping over there puts Clay Terrace to shame….Harry Winston…Tiffany…Versace….loved it. 🙂 That evening, we attended the Champagne Shootout where 4 prominent photogs were in each corner of a ballroom with their models showing everyone how to shoot under certain lighting conditions, how to work with the model to get the best shots, etc. It was awesome to sit so close to the stage and watch Australian photographer, Yervant work with his beautiful models…he was my favorite of all of them. This shot cracks me up, talk about getting into your posing! 😀
These were some girls who were in front of our hotel promoting their show.
More Vegas pics…
The above shot is from the Venetian, their entrance was amazing!
Viva Las Vegas!!
A lot of people don't know this but my dad actually got me into photography back when I was about 5 or 6 years old. He handed me his Minolta X-700 and I LOVED it…of course, it was a film camera so I couldn't wait to see the pics and now we're all totally spoiled with digital. It was so cool to be able to take him with me to WPPI. Who would've thought over 20 years later we'd be sitting in seminars together looking at amazing pictures and listening to some of the greatest photographers of all time speak on topics like luxury weddings, destination events and making a living by doing what you love. I'm the luckiest photographer ever! 🙂
