What happens in Vegas, doesn’t necessarily stay in Vegas… not when you’ve got thousands of photographers on site, ready to show their photographic proof of the events. But it’s all good…
WPPI stands for “Wedding and Portrait Photographers International,” and they certainly live up to their name. They hold an annual event in Las Vegas (which...
I am so excited right now, I am on the verge of tears. Seriously. I want to do cartwheels of joy down the hallway.
It started with a quick glance at an e-newsletter from famed photographer Jasmine Star which was appropriately entitled “Sprout Your Wings.” Just a quick update from what she’s been up to lately,...
In the works…
I am busy editing photos from my brother (Shaun)’s & his new fiance (Hollie)’s engagement shoot. Many more to come (and the full story, too), but here’s a sneak peek in the meantime:
This past Saturday, I headed up to Los Angeles with 2 of my bestest buds, for a long-overdue birthday celebration for one of them. We had decided to play “tourists” for the day, having lived so close to L.A. but never doing the “touristy” things that visitors often do. The shopping center of Hollywood &...

This is Jasper’s first Christmas, so of COURSE I’m going overboard. While my husband rolls his eyes and looks the other way, I decorate my dog.
Thank goodness my pup is such a wonderful subject for the camera. Seriously. Between his natural demeanor and the training I’ve given him so far, he is WONDERFUL in front...
It’s true… time flies when you’re having fun. I can’t believe that November marks the one-year birthday of the Suitcase Studio. Happy birthday to my dream-coming-true; my work-in-progress; my happiness. It’s been an interesting ride so far, but I’m loving the journey all the way.
Just over a year ago, I turned 30 years old. And...
A couple of weeks ago I had the privilege of taking some family portraits of my brother, sis-in-law, and their 2 kiddos. The twins had just turned one year old, and I wanted to celebrate this age and get some photos of the family before the kids started growing up too fast (as they all...
Halloween is a BIG deal in my husband’s family. I mean B-I-G. My husband looks forward to Halloween with the same wide-eyed fascination and excitement that most kids save for a visit from Santa. Store-bought costumes are scoffed at, as my mother-in-law is a seamstress and LOVES to create authentic costumes from scratch. Every year,...
Busy editing a few favorite pictures from Halloween. More coming soon…
