The Vintage Empire | Jewelry Designed by Adrienne Mineiro

Sometimes you meet people that just ooze creativity! When Adrienne started pulling out her works of art, my jaw dropped! She's not only a total sweetheart, her pieces are extraordinarily unique and so beautifully crafted. I know exactly where to send Santa this year! Based out of Reno, NV, her full line of jewelry can be seen at The Vintage Empire and found at specialty boutiques throughout the city.

This awesome shoot was organized by the fabulous Christie Mumm of JLM Creative and a big thank you to all the wonderful lady photogs of Reno/Tahoe who came together to make this a hilariously fun session! Christie Mumm, Melissa Vossler, Eden Thome, Kelsey Rosser, Raquel Sullivan & Heidi Huber.

Random Pic of the Day

Today was a good day, a really good day for many really good reasons! Good days make me think about why I am so lucky to do what I do and fortunate to have this career. I dug up this old image of the NYC skyline that represents another really good day.

P.S. I know I've been quite a blog slacker lately... but that's only because I'm not slacking in other areas of my business and all clients are happy! What a crazy busy fall it's been! So, rest assured, there is plenty of digital eye candy on the horizon (like 15 posts worth!), as well as a bunch of fun announcements and new blog features. Oh yes, big things people!

CJ & Nicole | Sneak Peek!

Oh baby- did I have fun during this engagement shoot! Nicole & CJ's only instructions were that they wanted lots of color and fun backdrops...um, gladly! Downtown Reno is bursting with lots of colorful nooks and crannies. So, couple that with these two adorable lovebirds and this is just a peek of the result... more to come!

P.s. I, again, had the distinguished honor to work with a military serviceman. CJ serves our country in the National Guard. Many thanks to him for his service and courage!

Rachelle & John | Sneak Peek!

From the first frame to the very last frame, Rachelle and John did not stop giggling, smiling, and kissing... and that's not because I instructed them to do so. Before I could even finish saying, "Ok, Rachelle, go ahead and..." she was already one step ahead and kissing him. I loved it! I don't think John minded either!

John is a U.S. Navy pilot and when he changed into his uniform, I was in awe. I have so much respect for the men and women who serve and it was an honor to be his presence! Many thanks to him for his service and bravery!

More to come!
