Another romantic and successful engagement session! Awesome photos. My favs are 030a, 072, 122, 110, 133 and I like how 137 and 137a show them way out there by themselves.
I also want to thank you for you comment on my dad’s post. Your family have been such a support during this time and other’s too! Thank you for your friendship.
Looks like you had a full day. Great shots. Good inspiration for my first wedding of the year this weekend.
What a wonderful engagement session! How sweet to set up the table for them! Can’t wait to see the wedding photographs!

Oh, how funny, George and I are shooting a wedding on our 25th wedding anniversary on June 28.

Flowers are my favorite subject to shoot. I’d love to a gig like this one! The whole day sounds fun. Enjoy :sunny:

oh my, these are BEAUTIFUL shots!!! Not only are there beautiful people, but the colors are awesome too.
wow! he got so big!!! what a cutie! i’m loving his skull polo shirt!
Beautiful collage of a gorgeous family!! Jayden is looking more and more like his dad. Adorable little boy!!
Happy Easter! Jayden is getting so big! I forgot that he and Brayson are SOOO close in age! Brayson has his first birthday this weekend!
So exciting!
Mark, it was nice meeting you in Vegas! I wish we all could have gotten together before I flew out. I got your voicemail while I was in Atlanta on my way home.
Kerri, I was so excited to meet you!!! Maybe next year…….
Very sweet.
I just had a chance to see your LV slideshow on hi speed! What a great show and what a great opportunity for you!
Kerri…you look terrific by the way…love the new you.
Also, did you enter that image you showed us at Lake Tahoe?…the one of the bride under the tree?
He may like to close his eyes, but they’re beautiful when they’re open!
@dimsom - LOL!!!
@kennyahn - Thanks!! We decided to bring some lighting with us ….what a difference good lighting makes eh?
@leebunch - His great aunt bought the outfit for him and at first I only noriced that it was pink! Then I saw the skulls…lol
@Mom2DRF - I cant get over how much JJ looks like his Dad! He has the same straight face that Dave has…
@Crystal Goss - Oh I was so bummed that I didnt get to meet you. But I just know we will meet up one of these days! Brayson turns one this weekend!!!??? Okay that is amazing to me! lol Happy Birthday to your precious guy!! Did you enjoy WPPI? What did you get to do? Any shoots?
@mommyfish - Aww thanks for saying that! 17.6 lbs!!! What a difference not luggin that around…Onto the next 17! Glad you got to see the slideshow!! We both entered our favorite shots. We both got the same marks. The number you want is 80 and above to be hung. We got 78. But we are excited for a first time that we didnt get anything less.We sat in on some of the judging and learned alot. Wish we had known then that we needed to find a better printer. The print quality wasnt up to par so that probably didnt help. I think our choice of cropping may also have marked us down. So next year we may do better.
@Betsafly - Thanks! Love the doggie shots!
@slmret - The shot of him closing his eyes doesnt capture the funny expression he does with it. It makes us all laugh so much. I think that is why he does it more and more now. lol
Beautiful shot, Beautiful little boy, Beautiful parents, Beautiful dog :wink: Beautiful family!! Luv the shot of Jayden while he’s standing up holding his little bowl!
What awesome family photos. I love the red wall. You have such a beautiful family Mark & Kerri. You can tell how close you all are…. it’s such a wonderful thing to see!!!! Have a great week… we’re off to Disney. I truly enjoyed our conversation on the phone yesterday!!!! xoxoxxoxo Love, ~ Dawn
I love the pink shirt with skull and cross bones!!!
He’s so adorable.

:goodjob::sunny: Vegas Part 2 was my favorite! Love, Love the shot that Brian took of the fountain indoors, very creative and out of the box!
The rest were really cool too, you guys must have had a blast. I’m going to make sure I am set to go next year, and if you all are too we can hire our own models from Vegas for our own shoot! Thats the ticket!!
Randy:wave:
Nice job Brian! Can’t wait to get to hispeed to see the rest…:rolleyes:
AWESOME AWESOME STUFF!!! Next time, I need to be around you four…to make sure I have some cool shots of myself!!! oh yea…and the first shot out of the three from brian is my fav!
Brian these are fantastic. I love your angles and the last one I really like the PP on it. Great JOb.
@Borelfoto - Yes! we certainly can do that! We can rent out the boneyard and get some really cool shots there and Red Rock. Totally!!!
@mommyfish - Brian is out at the gym but I will be sure he reads these cause he really enjoyed WPPI and we really are excited how much he got into it. So thank you!
@dimsom - Come hang with us next year and we will definitely get some cool VICTOR shots! Brian will be real excited to know that was your fav. I love that one too…
Victor – I’m glad we got to see each other in Vegas, but wish we’d more time to visit. It’s just so crazy there each year. You need to come out next year for a few days so you have time to hang!
In the meantime, come on up north and we’ll take you out for a shoot. Or we’ll take you out and shoot you, not sure….
Seriously – we’ve been down there, so it’s time for you Southern California Xangarians to rent a bus and drive up here!!
@kanipark - Thanks for checking it out! It is always interesting to see what others like. Just loved out time there…looking forward to next year already! lol
so awesome! I didnt have time to see all that.. thanks for sharing those!
Awesome pics, what fun!
I graduated Boulder City High School…Vegas has become so unrecognizable!
Looks like a great adventure you had!
The slide show and photos of Vegas are awesome—–It truly is a family gift!!!! Kerri you look great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love Brian’s second image and #98 of Marks. Great photos of Vegas. So glad to hear you were able to attend WPPI and go on the wedding shoot! I agree on the So. Cal. Xangonians commin north!! Hope to see you all soon!!
Hello,
I am following up on the shoot in Vegas. I was one of the models and I was wondering when you thought you might get a disk out to me. 90 days is standard, I know we are not there yet, but it seemed there was some confusion that day with model releases and contact information. Please let me know if you need anything from me, thanks!
