Shots from Wyoming

in ,

Wyoming was wet and cold, a very different look compared to the last time I was there. I must say, Teton National Park looks really cool when its rainy and cloudy. The only issue is that I have a major cold now. It could be from sitting in an airport with germs floating around, or maybe its because I was playing in the rain for 3 days straight. Hmm. img_8840-1

Idaho Falls. This is where we landed, and where Anne (the bride) is from. It snowed as we drove over the pass from Idaho Falls to Jackson Hole. I was freaking out as we drove our small rental car up the hill and back down (which was the scariest)...the first day we couldn't even see the mountains because the clouds were so thick. We were going to go to Yellowstone on Wednesday, but the park entrance was closed due to the snow. So we just hung out in Jackson and had some beers at the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar.

Teton National Park. Winter snow melting and causing rushing waters.

Thursday we scouted out the wedding sites and took pictures around Teton Village and in the park. We also hiked part of Jenny Lake (in the rain). It was beautiful. We were the only people on the hike. I was scared. Again. Thinking a hungry bear might be lurking around the next corner. I would. Friday, before it was time to shoot the wedding, we took one last jaunt into Teton National Park. It was sunny in the morning so we were able to see the entire mountain range, and also set up the tripod for a picture of the 2 of us. Fun, fun.

Van Vleck House

Since today was such a nice day, my mom and I decided to meet at  the Van Vleck house and gardens in Montclair, NJ. We heard there was a beautiful Chinese Wisteria tree that was probably in bloom and is really amazing to look at. It totally was. Check it out: img_4739

Girlie Girl Fun!

in ,

girlday So I am in the midst of putting together my first annual girlie photo shoot event! These are my hopes and aspirations for the event so far:br /br /1. I am going to rent out a fun space in Hoboken. The place I have in mind is right off the path, so its easy to access from NYC or CT.

2. I can have up to 12 girls come for their own personal shoot. For a set price you will get your makeup done (fun!), and a 20-30 minute glam shoot (your choice of boudoir or fashion style--you bring the outfit you feel best it basically). Plus 1 8x10 print of your choice.

3. I will set up different situations....perhaps a bed all covered in white sheets....and if I can find a funky little couch, we can use that too.

4. You can bring friends, have cocktails and fun...and then after you're done with the shoot, your makeup will be done...so why not just go out on the town?

5. I am booked on the weekends until July. So this event will take place in July. Probably Saturday July 19 or Saturday July 26 hopefully from 2-7pm or around those times.

6. I think this could be a really fun gift to give to your fiances/husbands/boyfriends. Or to have for yourself so you can look back when you're 75 and say, "wow, I was quite a number."

7. Makeup artist website is: www.kerrydering.com

Loo Loo shimmy'd herself (backwards) right between the fridge and the cabinets when she had this bad boy on.

Like magicians they were out of them within 5 minutes. So I went with the more natural and stylish coffee filter look. That lasted about 6 hours. Not bad.
