A successful night at the Katie Herb Gala

What an incredible turn out! Almost 200 people showed up at the Antique Auto Museum for this amazing event to raise money for Congenital Heart Defect. The original date of the event was schedule for February 6th in honor of Congenital heart defect awareness week but we had the snowstorm of all snowstorms that day. So April it was and the weather was perfect.
The night was filled with casino games, drinks, food, music and love. The support that Jason and Denise Herb received blew my mind! I had the opportunity to donate my time to help them out. We covered all the happenings that night and even set up a little photo booth for fun. Big thanks to Austin Robbins for coming out to shoot with me!!

Another trip

After our beach vacation, I flew to California to second shoot with my friend Chelsea. (Those pics will follow later)
I stayed an extra day to relax and see some places I have never been before. Chelsea’s favorite thing to do is go wine tasting, so we traveled to Los Olivios and stopped at a few wineries. The drive up was so beautiful as well as all the vineyards. We also realized we were very close to Neverland so we had to stop! Most of my other pics are on my phone, so maybe I will post those later! Enjoy!Vista Point

I am not a big wine drinker and Chelsea gave me a quick lesson in wine tasting. Still, they all smelled like sour grapes and some needed extra time to breathe. It was fun though, especially after the 3rd stop!

I didn’t get anything from swirling the wine around, but Chelsea insisted it help distinguish the aromas…. by this time, they all smelled the same.

We plugged in the address of Neverland in the GPS and when it said “now arriving” all we saw was yellow tape.

It was a very somber place. Some of the memorials were actually quite creepy.

Yes, we are cheesing out in front of the gates. Not a very happy place now, but it is a natural reaction to smile. RIP MJ!

Open House success!

Now that the tent is gone…the decorations taken down…I can get back to normal. I have been a blog slacker for a while now. We were away on vacation and then I went to California to shoot a wedding with my friend Chelsea. Then it was 3 days of scrambling to get ready for the Open house! Thank you to all that came out and helped. It was such a great night on Friday! It almost felt like a wedding reception, trying to talk to everyone and not being able to spend a ton of time talking.
Saturday, we had a bunch of little ones come out for face painting and the photo booth which my new intern Jenn rocked! She has been an absolute lifesaver with everything these past few days!
So enough writing. On to pics. I didn’t shoot a ton, just because I talk a lot!
