Young Guns WPPI
Just returned from a whirl-wind week in Vegas for (WPPI) Wedding and Portrait Photographers International. WOW.
I was so honored on Sunday night to be a part of the opening program. As part of the "Young Guns" group I was completely humbled by the talent and character that I was surrounded by. At one point during the program I had to shake tears as I thought about what an amazing experience I was a part of. It's something I'll never forget!
Here we all are getting ready for the big event:

thanks for posting these. Roberto's wife is Rachel - whom I had the pleasure of meeting at Jesh's workshop in NY. She's a sweetheart. Didn't know you guys were friends. Small world!

I'm so bummed I didn't get there in time to see y'all. Though I will say it was an absolute treat meeting you :] maybe next time we'll get a chance to chat for more than .8 seconds. Man. WPPI is crazy.
seek the joy.

OMG!!! I am SO EXCITED to be learning from one of the YOUNG GUNS at Texas School!! You so totally deserve that distinction - CONGRATS big time, Lori!!! I can't believe that the week is almost here.....it will totally ROCK with you at the helm! We are going to learn so much and have a blast doing it. I'm pretty new at all of this - I've only been shooting for a little over a year - but I am so completely IN LOVE with photography! Okay, it is my second love after my awesome 2 year old son, Evan, who is my little inspiration. BTW - if you need a toddler model sometime next week, I can have him there in, like....two hours!! :)! Anyway, I CAN'T WAIT to meet you and learn TONS!! Please share some things about Iowa, too - my grandparents were both from Des Moines! So yes, TEXAS and IOWA ROCK!! See you in College Station!!
