November of 2007, I went to Las Vegas with my dad so we could go to the annual SEMA show. While the show was exhausting because of the size of the event, we made time the last night we were there to walk around town a bit and visit old Las Vegas.

Dani and I got together on a chilly November evening to try and do something with a bit more “edge” to it and try out my new wireless flashes I had just picked up. We trekked through the abandoned orchard by my house on the dark and cold evening and decided on a random outcrop [...]

Shot for a client who put on a huge quinceanera for his oldest daughter. Surprisingly this was my first time attending one and incidentally also had to work, so I was not too sure what all the ceremonies were or when they would happen, but with some help from the family I was right on [...]
