Can you believe it’s April?? Where does the time go? And WHERE does it go when you have a baby to care for! Having to feed this little munchkin every two hours, and watching her get bigger and more interactive which each day that passes, is making time blaze by like it never has before! I mean, TAXES are due this month – what?? I just can’t wrap my mind around it.

Courtney + Brandon

My mom is a high roller in Vegas. Her game? Video Poker. In the long run, she probably loses more than she wins, but the great perk of my mothers gambling habits is that if we tag along for a Vegas vacation with her, we get everything comped.

So when Courtney, a Las Vegas native, and her husband to be Brandon (a transplant from Seattle – one of my most favorite cities ever!!), suggested we do a Veronica Lake inspired photo shoot in an off strip hotel lobby with all the fixin’s for said photo shoot, Huz and I were super excited to turn our trip into a babymoon.

Now here is the thing about Courtney. She has this awesome blog called Quit WINEing. In it, her, and sometimes Brandon, engage in these elaborate photo shoots in order to convey wine pairings that you may not have considered. Courtney is a Sommelier, and on her blog, she’ll educate you on what wine to pair with everything from Halloween Candy to Prime Rib. Her costumes are elaborate and and often hilarious, and when she told me she wanted to get creative with our shoot, I was so stoked, because I just knew she’d do something fabulous. And at that point I never even met the woman!

We had such a fun afternoon with Courtney and Brandon, and it was our very last shoot until we become parents! Woot!

Wow what wonderful shots! The dress is just wonderful, And the style used in the whole shoot is just perfect!! Thanks for posting the photos!!

Maureen + Todd

Maureen and Todd are so easy to photograph. They have an easy, loving way with each other, and in the hills of Malibu with the sun setting behind us, there wasn’t much I had to direct from them as we hiked some precarious trails. We just hung out, and I took pictures. It was the perfect engagement session, the ocean beside us, the breeze blowing, and people in love. I can’t WAIT for their wedding in Napa. Sadly I won’t get to see much of them between now and then since they live in Singapore. But it was a beautiful day spent with these two, Husbone kindly providing pregnant lady hiking assistance!

Alicia + Eric

I was in a mood that weekend. My pregnant body does NOT enjoy the process of traveling the way that my normal self does, and so if I were to be honest with myself, and after watching my camera bag fall nine feet off an overloaded trolley at the airport on my way to Charlotte, I was marinating in a good does of surliness.

I had the pregnant cranky pants on. These pants, well, they are special. They sneak up on you and suddenly you look down and all you see are cranky pants, and unlike normal cranky, it feels like there’s no end in sight. I was honestly a little worried that I’d be so unpleasant to be around once I headed over to Alicia and Eric’s.

Alicia and Eric are filled with a joyous light. They found each other, and to be near them, you can viscerally feel the sense of miraculousness they feel toward each other. It was like feeling sunshine for the first time in days, and I can’t tell you how much their joy in each other lifted my spirits. So thank you both so much! I had so much fun with you and easily forgot all my petty troubles in your company!
