And just like that, my time at WPPI is over, and I’m headed back to Pittsburgh. Now comes the difficulty of processing everything my brain has soaked in the last few days. I guess that’s what a four hour flight is for. I must say I’m really, really glad I came here, and I’m so excited for what this next year will bring for my clients, for me, and for Birchtree Photography.
But right now, I’m really ready to be going home. I miss Jay. And Astin. And friends.
And, I think I really miss Pittsburgh.
So long Vegas–it was a nice visit, your lights are pretty, your hotels grand, but I can’t say I’d ever want to live here.

I know I’ve said it before, but I really love photographing engagement sessions with every one of my clients. It enables me to get to know them just a little bit better, and I hope it helps them fall more in love with each other. With our busy lives, we rarely take two hours to just focus on that other person and why we love them so much. It’s really wonderful to do that in an engagement session.
But that’s enough of a tangent–I’ll have to share more about it in another post (as well as other inspiring things I’ve been thinking about at WPPI). On to Siresha and Harish–two very smart, beautiful, and truly lovely people. Jay and I got to spend a couple of hours with them last week when I was in Texas. Although they are having their wedding in Pittsburgh, they actually got engaged in Houston, TX, where Siresha is studying. So, we figured it’d be the perfect place to do their engagement session! Blog readers may recognize that I also photographed my best friend and her husband at Hermann Memorial Park in December.


Siresha, you are truly beautiful.










Siresha wanted to reenact the proposal. Heh. I love it.










Thanks guys for a wonderful session–can’t wait to see you again at the wedding!

Wow. First things first–just in case you are wondering if I’ve been doing any “real” work here at WPPI, I have. Milla and I attended a very informative business institute all day yesterday, and I have so many great things to think about for my business.
But, we couldn’t stay cooped up inside this morning, and with a break from classes, Milla, Caryn, and I headed out to the desert for a fun photo shoot. We never expected to find these wild burros. Either way, they liked sharing Caryn’s breakfast burrito…which kind of makes sense (burrito literally means young donkey).




Yeah, we’re cool.

I’ll have to share more later from the shoot, but for now it’s back to work!
