It was really fun to photograph all of these Fiddle Festivals for Our State….so excited that festival season is almost here!

ahhh, spring fever.  i think both jaylen and i had a touch of it on our photo shoot.  we had fun being silly up and down 4th street in the beautiful spring sunshine!

right before i left for india we took a little trip to beech mountain with some friends.

ryder was styling in his puma suit before we hit the slopes.

so was sienna.  she rocked her puma suit too!

lets get this snow par-tay started!

i have been home from india for 1 week.  it almost feels like my trip was just a dream.

india is so many things it is difficult to process.  it is beautiful, bustling, sad, loud, lovely…there are so many words to describe this colorful and complex land!

since i am most definitely NOT a writer i will try to share my experience with you through my photos.  i will be making several posts over the next week (and these are just the travel photos.  wait until you see the AMAZING wedding that i got to photograph in udaipur!).

the city palace complex was built in the early 20th century, in the reign of Maharana Fateh Singh  (1884-1930).  they were doing a lot of repairs at the palace complex while we were there, but it was still beautiful!  we stayed at fateh prakash, which was in the city complex and built in the early 1900’s.

the day after shooting a 3 day wedding we sat by the pool at shiv niwas and relaxed!
