Jo Totes

I just found out about this great online shop Jo Totes. A fashionable AND practical bag for all you photographers. The padded interior can be custom fitted not only to protect a camera and lenses, but also to accommodate and organize items like a wallet, music, phone, keys, cosmetics and more. What a genius idea! This is going on my Christmas wish list!

To the Birthday Girl!

There is no one I would rather be with right now then my sister Katie. Today (in NZ time) she turns 30 and it breaks my heart I can't be with her to celebrate. Katie and I share a special bond because we are the closest in age, which means we were always linked together and share the same memories.

Besides the obvious fact that my sister is gorgeous ! Check out this model shot...



She is musically talented, artistic, genuine and loving. Her beauty reaches beyond the surface to the deepest part of her heart. Her playful, adventurous personality is addictive and got us in a lot of trouble as kids!






I just adore my older sister and so lucky we share the same DNA! Happy Birthday Katie!

My dear friend Annie got married to her High School sweet heart in August. They have been dating for over 8 years, so I was very excited to hear they were finally tying the knot. Devin (the groom) is a wonderful guy and perfect for Annie. I felt very lucky to be part of their special day every step of the way.

Annie is very laid back, a "go with the flow" type of girl. Which is why I was not surprised she was an easy bride to work with. There was only one request - a bouquet of calla lilies.

St. Regis - A must see

I spent last night at Deer Valley's St. Regis Hotel, which was a real treat! I was there for WedSmith, a business conference for wedding professionals, which was also a real treat. I could go on and on about all the wonderful things I learn, but right now I just want the show off the interior of this hotel. I am not a huge fan of the traditional mountain lodge decor which is why I was pleasantly surprised to be surround by all this ... Oh and the leaves right now are absolutely breath taking!
