It felt great to finally get out and shoot my first wedding of 2009! Jessica and Shawn thanks, all the elements through out your special day were great. You're a dynamic couple and I wish you both many years of happiness. 
Susan and Daniel decided Calico Basin was the spot for their engagement session. Calico Basin is a colorful area tucked between the gray limestone La Madre Mountains to the north, the red sandstone Calico Hills to the west, and a desert ridge to the south. Three springs with permanent water emerge from the base of the red sandstone cliffs: Red Spring, Calico Spring, and Ash Spring. Water also runs in washes to the north and south of the springs during the winter months. It's hard to believe the Las Vegas desert is a few miles east.
I met the uber cool Erin and Chad (from Fuller Edge Photography, Calgary, Canada) while attending John Michael Cooper's "Very Altf Too" workshop. By luck of the draw, I got to photograph this 'hot" couple around Fremont Street. Thanks for giving me the freedom to have fun and play with my new Canon 5d Mark II camera.....
Back in December we had a record snow fall in the valley. Jessica was a brave soul and played in the snow with my camera.
