Rita and Pat Antonelli Get Hitched

It's been a bit since my last post and what better way to get back in the "blog" saddle again then with Rita and Pat's Engagement and Wedding photos?

This couple is near and dear to me since I worked with the Bride Rita at an old job where we had a blast together.  I felt so honored when she called me up to be the one to capture their day.

I have to say I was a little nervous, due to her being a friend.  For those of you who know what I am talking about with any kind of business relationship with a close friend.  It is a little nerve racking, let alone on their biggest day! (I do hope to be there for their next big event, dare I say newborn?)

You can definitely see the love Rita and Pat share when they are together.  They truly have a love story that melted my heart.  Chivalry is not dead, I say.

Take a few moments to see their story unfold, between the engagement session, where we had a great time downtown and their incredible Wedding day at the World Market Center with the gorgeous yellow color scheme.

I have to say between both of these days capturing their love, they are natural models as well.

Happy Planning!

Maternity and Dry Lake Bed

Image
I must say, Maternity shoots are so intimate and loving to photograph, I feel honored anytime someone asks me to capture this fundamental time in their lives.  Especially when the Mom-to-be is as adventurous as I am!  Yes please!  Ariana is one of those Mom-to-Be's.  I gave her a few options to choose from for potential shoot locations and she immediately went for the Dry Lake Bed.  There wasn't even a hint of hesitation. I just said softly to myself,  'sweet'.  I absolutely love the atmosphere that a Dry Lake Bed brings to a shoot. So many interpretations.  In the case of a maternity shoot? I feel it speaks of a spirit coming to life. Birth and bringing joy, happiness and adventure into a beautiful family. Thank you Ariana for letting me have a small part in the beginning to your next adventure. See some of the photos below and let me know what you think?

Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School

Image
Dr. Sketchy's The Anti-Art School was introduced to me back in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania by an incredibly talented friend Steve Cleff (who now runs the Philadelphia Dr. Sketchy's chapter, previously run by Nicola Black ) before I came out to Las Vegas. I am a huge supporter of art and was very anxious to find out more about this once a month outting. I had an awesome time at the Super Heroes vs. Super Villains session. My photography eye widened with excitement as I went into an artistic inspirational flow. I started snapping away, looking for a way to create artful images and to photograph models. Something I haven't done exclusively yet and have been wanting to do so for some time now.  Below are some images from that first themed session. Now that I am in Las Vegas I was very happy to find out that Dr. Sketchy's is a nationwide and worldwide phenomena. A Dr. Sketchy's is growing on every continent and thankfully there is a chapter ri

I have a confession, I love cars! Yes, I absolutely love cars! Especially older 50's and 60's cars and Trucks. Fast cars, and to my surprise, RAT RODS!  Whaaaaat? Although my two dream cars are the 1965 to 67' Mustang or the 55 to 57 Bel-air. In the last 5 years, I've been with someone who happens to also share my love for cars and trucks, although he is a wee bit more obsessed than I am and so, he bought Murdock, a 1960 Chevrolet Double pig nosed Truck he dubbed Murdock and I have so lovingly dubbed Murdy. And yes, this name has everything to do with the A-team reference. With this Truck and through amazing friends we joined the Junkyard Pirates.  We are now privileged club members who get to " Drag out our Junk " and meet amazing like minded car and truck lovers.  Many turn their vehicles into amazing works of Rat Rod Art, such as Jac Lindell, who made Frankenbug .  He is also a Pirate. Every year the JunkYard Pirates put on an amazing, must see ca
