Tues. @ 2

So…(sheepish grin) its been 1,203 days since our last Tuesday at 2. This was a project we started back in 2012 and has gotten more popular every time we do it! This was ‘supposed’ to be a bi-annual project…but…well…ok…we have no excuses!
The rules are simple–On Tuesday at 2 o’clock you grab your phone and take a photo of where you are and what you are doing. Caption it and send it to us.
We love doing this post and seeing all the fun, random and interesting lives that people lead on a regular Tuesday at 2 o’clock.
This time we have some great shots from ALL over the world, Finland, Italy, United States (east and west) and Canada.
We love sifting through all the shots that get sent in from all different time zones…Let us know if you would like to join in next time!

WPPI 2015 – Las Vegas

Yay!! It’s that time again! Wedding + Portrait Photographers International (WPPI) in Vegas! Speakers galore, a massive trade show, networking, swag, food, early mornings, late nights, endless walking, impromptu shoots…only a few days to fit so much in! 

lasv24hr

A major highlight was being able to reconnect with fellow colleagues Brandi of Brandi Schwartz Design and Photography (my P & S Weddings partner) and Jenelle of Beauti Photography. It’s a treasure to be able to have friends that not only support you but hold you accountable!

We always find time to head over to Richard Photo Lab at the trade show. They always have a cozy corner to listen in and to chat with some incredible film photogs in the business. And one night was spent in laughter as we listened to Joe McNally recount some of his amazing experiences working as a photojournalist for LIFE and National Geographic.

speakers

One afternoon we met with the multi-talented Bre from Breanna Megan Studio. She had just finished an exciting new project and we leant a hand in photographing it for her. More on that coming up soon!btssweat3

After being there for only a day I learned a friend had moved back to Vegas, so I reached out to see if this beauty would step in and model for us. We were thrilled to find out she was free for a couple of hours. Check back in to see what we were able to throw together in just a short amount of time!
