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….

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!!!

2012 Marathon Dates {coming soon} | Edmonton & Red Deer Boudoir

Oh my goodness, can you believe that my last post is from October?!  I am so sorry to have neglected my blog these last few months.  As some of you probably know, I was blessed with an amazing last minute opportunity to travel to Africa to photograph a youth organized caravan.  The whole thing was just a wonderful {maybe sometimes trying} experience but it left me a bit back-logged with work here at home.  FINALLY though, I am all caught up and the time has come to start planning this year's BOUDOIR MARATHONS!!!  I am currently in the process of booking locations, hair, make-up and everything else that we might need to make this year's marathons the best yet.  If you have any questions, comments, suggestions or just want to get booked in early feel free to send me an e-mail here!

Truly,Karmen
