Good Energy

///

It’s not every day that you get to work with two amazing health and fitness professionals. Rachael, a former Radio City Rockette, is now a well-known yoga teacher in Las Vegas. She works and studies with some of the best yoga instructors throughout the country and is an ambassador for Lululemon. As if that were not enough, she’s also an incredible massage therapist! Her beau, John, is a fitness expert and trainer at a well-known Strip property. Together, they are a force to be reckoned with! Their energy was beyond infectious and our time together was filled with loads of laughter.

Less is More

///

Happy New Year, friends! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday break. Our trip to England was everything I needed; relaxation, spending time with the family, cooking big meals for everyone and mostly a chance to let go of all of the stress I’d accumulated in the past few months.

Over the holiday, I sat down and made a list of the things I wanted to change in 2013 and I’m proud to say, it’s my least ambitious list to date!

My #1 priority is: do less.

YAY! It has finally dawned on me that I can’t keep up with the pace I’ve been keeping. Homeschool, photography work and maintaining a home and family are like three full-time jobs. Although I was somehow making it work, it wasn’t as satisfying as much as it was exhausting. I don’t want to feel so harried and hurried this year.

As it is, the universe answered my plea in it’s own ironic way with some pretty shocking news just before we left for England. So, even if I wanted to wear my Superwoman cape for another year, I simply couldn’t. I’ll explain more soon. Until then, here are some images I shot in England.

(PS. This blog is 6 years old today!)

From Desert to Downtown

//

Alicia flew in from Washington state this spring for some senior portraits. In true 180/360 style, we shot in extremes. First, we hit Downtown Las Vegas with all of its gritty, graffiti-ed glory. Then we drove the opposite direction out of town to shoot in a dry lake bed. Regardless of the environment, she was a natural in front of the camera.
