We actually shot Stephanie’s bridals over a month ago, but she wanted these to be a surprise for her fiancé on the wedding day, so we’ve had to sit tight on sharing these sexy, smoldering images until then. And its been tough!! As of tonight, however, Danny & Stephanie are married and we are free to give you a glimpse of some highlights from our session with this beautiful Texas transplant. (more…)
Pepper will appear LIVE (the FCC requires you to put “LIVE” in all caps like that – its the law) on KCPW public radio on Saturday, March 31st in support of KCPW’s fund-drive between 2:30 – 3:00 PM. We have donated a Family Session as well as a Family Album package which will be auctioned off on-the-air at 3pm and 6pm, respectively. We urge you to tune in and bid – it goes to support the community and you could get us at quite a bargain, to boot.
Pepper Nix was awarded with an Accolade of Excellence in the 16×20 print competition this week at the 2007 Wedding & Portrait Photographers International (WPPI) convention in Las Vegas, NV. WPPI is the largest gathering of wedding and portrait photographers in the world, this year topping 10,000 attendees from 37 different countries. Many people were surprised to learn that this is the first time that Pepper has entered into print competition and she feels she learned a lot…and has a lot more to learn. Print competition is about a lot more than image creation. (more…)

Recently, we had the privilege to photograph the wedding of Laurie & Jason! They were married at Saint Mary’s Catholic Church in Park City UT [which is one of my favorite Catholic churches, this and Saint Edward's in Dana Point CA] with a gorgeous reception at Deer Valley’s Empire Canyon Lodge.
Today the photographic community learns of the passing of a legend, Monte Zucker. Monte was one of a handful of photographers whose work defined portraiture and lighting in the 20th century. His influence reverberates today through the literally thousands of students with whom he shared his gifts over the course of his 50+ year career. Many of today’s most celebrated photographers credit Monte for helping them ’see the light’, literally and figuratively. We are diminished by his loss, yet have been enriched to such a greater degree by his presence that it seems most fitting to celebrate his life rather than mourn his passing.
Wednesday, March 21 from 4pm-6pm PST, we are being featured on Pictage’s Pro Forums as part of their weekly ‘Ask & Learn Wednesdays’ series.
Loosely, our ‘topic’ is Building Your Dream Team of vendor relationships, but really its pretty much a free-for-all Q&A session. So if you’re a Pictage photographer, come join us and fire away!
