Although it was just last week that I was running around Las Vegas attending classes and the tradeshow at WPPI, it feels like it was last year! I know I shared a few photos from the desert shoot that Caryn Azure, Milla Chappell, and I did, but I had a few more photos I wanted to show.
First things first…a big thanks to Caryn for driving us and spotting the burros on the side of the road! But an even bigger thanks to both her and Milla for being such awesome friends and great photographers who both challenge and inspire me to be better. Seriously, if you’re an aspiring photographer, don’t be afraid to meet “the competition”–you can learn and benefit so much from others around you. Don’t try to do it all alone! I’ll be forever indebted to Caryn for organizing the first photographers get together where I met her, Milla, and so many other great local photographers…and if you’re in Pittsburgh and are a photographer, let’s meet up!
Now for some fun Red Rock Canyon photos….remember the cute little burros?
One, or two?
I think he likes getting his picture taken.
The photographer stalks her prey…
Ambushed…
Attack of the iPhone!
NOOoooo!
Now for some more serious photos…
Milla, you could be a model.
Caryn, you are beautiful.
The setting couldn’t have been more perfect for the shoot.
Milla, I love your laugh!
Yay! Thanks for the fun, fun shoot y’all!

Vern - Love the wild burros, they crack me up! Great portraits too, it makes me so happy to know that you’re always shooting and loving it. I also love the fact that two of you were traipsing around the cacti in sandals.
Milla - Mary…. totally, totally amazing. I love, love, love these photos. My favorite of Caryn is the b/w from above – my favorite of me is the laughing photo! It’s just so natural and happy… you’re totally awesome!!!
Christina Montemurro - Mary, these are terrific. I love the burro with the gaping mouth. And Milla and Caryn both look so beautiful.
And yes, three cheers for collaborating and not competing.
