That Time I met Gwyneth Paltrow’s Wedding ...

“Is anyone sitting there?!” I said while balancing a plate of food and glass of wine.

He said “No, it’s all yours.”

And I cheered a silent ‘hoooray!’ because I was starving, and the wine was free. So far my day of solo travel had only occasionally been haunted by that painful kind of awkward. You know, the kind that almost always comes along with navigating new environments and experiences. And, dang, dare I say this was shaping up to be a good night.

I honestly can’t remember how the next bit went. But I quite quickly came to the realization that I had parked my clueless little self right beside the star of the show….

OK, so here's the thing, this is really uncomfortable to talk about but I am going to anyways because I think these days transparency is everything.  So here we go (let's hope I don't make a mess of this). Why is professional photography 'expensive'?

The Story Behind the Photos // The Mojave ...

What happens when two sister’s head off into the desert with a tiny teardrop trailer and a killer road-trip playlist?! Magic, my friend. Pure magic. I am so excited to share everything about our adventure, from the creepiest night in a tiny Montana town, to the unbelievably beautiful abandoned mid-century motel that used to be frequented by celebrities like Harrison Ford!. If you love the desert as much as I do, you are going to love coming along on this wee adventure with us. Or heck, just come for the beautiful desert art!!!

Flash Back | Edmonton Boudoir Photographers

So I was browsing through some old work and came across this reproduction assignment I did a year or two ago.  I have to admit my technical skills have greatly improved since then but I still love this shot!  So I decided to share it with you =)  Often when looking for inspiration for boudoir shoots I look back at old Hollywood type glamour.  I just love the soft femininity that is both honest and sexy; I like to think you can see all these things reflected in a modern way throughout my boudoir photography.  So anyways, my shot is the one on the left and the original on the right (obviously!!!).  ENJOY!!Truly,Karmenp.s. The Marilyn look alike is the beautiful Jessica Noordhof.  Hair and make-up was done by my talented little sister Rebecca Hughes.
