WPPI Las Vegas|The Strip!

So, maybe the title having "WPPI" in it is misleading... except for the fact that it's the only reason we were even in Las Vegas :) Anyway, the last day of our trip we finally got out to take some photos of the famous "Las Vegas Strip". These places are insanely HUGE. It's unreal. Everything looks so close, because it's so big, until you try walking towards something... we made that mistake too many times. Needless to say, my legs and feet were killing me the whole week! Such a fabulous experience all around though...

WPPI Las Vegas|Red Rock Canyon!

Eric and I just got home the other day from our very first ever trip to Las Vegas and WPPI (Wedding and Portrait Photographers International). And it was fabulous! We really had no idea what to truly expect... from the city or the convention... but we had the time of our lives and came home super excited and definitely inspired! We cannot wait to finalize all our new ideas and show them to you. I'm still totally overwhelmed with all the incredible speakers we heard and the ideas they shared. All I can say we have some amazing things in the works!

Anyway... the last day of our trip we were able to head out of the city and visit Red Rock Canyon. It's gorgeous!! Eric is dying to go back and spend an entire day hiking and climbing (and shooting, of course!). We didn't have a lot of time, but enjoyed seeing another one of God's great and beautiful creations. Here's just a few shots from the evening...
