Madyson in San Fransisco

Every year I get to shoot my gorgeous neice Mady and her beautiful mom Andrea. This year they brought me all the way to their home in San Fransisco where I had a whirlwind tour and photoshoot in about 36 hours which is all I had time for! I can't wait to come back, it is such a beautiful city. It was such a blast to grab these pics of their family and add Don to the pics this year!


This is the palace of Fine Arts which was just beautiful all lit up!

Miss you already!

Jenny and Matt

Jenny and Matt picked a great place to have an engagement shoot...the place where they met and where they were engaged. They surprised me with a vintage car too! It was a lot of fun. These two were hot!



Can't wait for the wedding!

Regan

I have been working with Regan since she was just one year old. It is so fun to be able to see the same kids year after year and watch them grow!

Regan is really tall for her age although she looks so small next to this plant :)

Best,

Kristina

Debbie and Don

Shooting Don and Debbie's wedding was such fun, not only because they lit up for each other, but also because they got married where I did! It was fun to go back to the Naper Settlement and be on the other side of the altar :) The reception was at the beautiful Meson Sabika complete with Mariachi band! The music was provided by the talented and fun Steve from Sounds Abound.

Anyone who knows me knows how much I love to hang a dress in a tree! :) Thanks for trusting me Debbie!

Debbie's dress turned out to be a little too long, I love how her dad stepped in to help her down the aisle, it was so sweet!

What's a wedding without a conga line ;)

Have a great time on your honeymoon!

Best,
Kristina

LaCour!

Some of you know that I recently attended the LaCour workshop which I was very excited about since I spent some time with them in Vegas. After only 2 hours of their time, my head was spinning about my new ideas for my business and how I can give even more to my awesome clients so I could only imagine 4 days worth of marketing/storytelling talk from these guys.


I was not disappointed.


They shared everything and beyond the actual learning, the LaCour team is so genuine in their willingness to help others succeed and they attract that kind of bunch. I had so much fun meeting the other students and learning even more from our guest speakers Corey McNabb and Charles Bordner. Check out Corey's new workshop on his blog!

Here are a few pics from the amazing Mark and Erin (one half of the LaCour team) tearing up the dance floor for our lighting demo.

These I got from LaCour's blog since I didn't take any of my own pictures! oops :)

Micheal Hooks took this photo of Jay, Corey, and Nancy Jo

The class.

Another nice surprise was seeing Garrett and Joy Nudd! I love this picture Andrew took of Garrett, Eric and Charles!

Another shot of the class working on our lighting techniques! :)

If anyone is looking into taking this workshop, it was well worth the time and money invested!

Thanks so much to everyone who made it such a special week! And thanks to the LaCour gang who gave me such an awesome book to be inspired by!

Cake Madness!

I have never seen anything like this!!! It speaks for itself. My friend Huy from F8 studio got this shot at a wedding. That is some groom's cake!


That is actually a mini DVD player on that cake replaying TX victory over USC in the Rose Bowl.

I just had to share!
