WPPI 2009 – Vegas Recap!

Amber and I spent the past 7 days in Las Vegas for the annual WPPI convention and here’s our recap! ***Warning…most of these are bad self-portraits or random pictures of each other that belong on facebook rather than our blog!***


We spent most of the time networking and meeting new and amazing people including Chelsea and Jayse from Las Vegas who joined me on the last shoot I just blogged. Here are a couple shots Amber grabbed of me on that same shoot:

On Thursday night we went out and caught the amazing show LOVE which seriously blew our friggin’ minds…it was incredible. Here’s a quick shot at I grabbed at the end when no one was watching:

The next day we walked the strip and hit the forum shops for some gifts for the kids:

But we did end the night at dinner at Nobu…one of our ultimate faves in the restaurant department of life. Here’s our personal sushi chef we had for the evening slaving on our scrumptious live scallops.

And then it was the red eye flight from Vegas to JFK. I DEFINITELY don’t recommend doing that unless you can get into first class….which we tried but it was full…oh well….lesson learned. But the drool on my shoulder from the random dude sitting next to me was totally rad.

Model Mayhem Shoot :: Vegas Style!!

Vegas has been such an amazing time so far. Amber and I have met some of the coolest people on the planet and have been to some pretty awesome parties thanks to all the super-cool vendors out here. Last night we met the uber-talented Chelsea-Nicole at the Studio 54 party thrown by Pictage. I’ve been planning a few modeling shoots while out here and invited her along….here’s a few photos from our awesome shoot. A huge thanks to the ridiculously HOT Sarah for coming out to the desert to rock our world!
