My second full day  in Vegas was spent in the desert … in the middle of the desert!
It was gorgeous!  Even though I always enjoy the beautiful views of my home state of KY, being able to travel and see different places is always exciting!

This adventure took us about 30 minutes outside of Vegas to a dry lake bottom.  I did wonder about the ‘dry’ lake bottom when I noticed a few puddles …. guess that didn’t help our charter bus from sinking!!!!!  I really thought I would walk back to Vegas, but thankfully our bus driver recovered from the precarious situation he found himself in!

The setting the was arranged for our style shoot was simply breathtaking!

It was so nice to meet Summer Watkins again!  She was the stylist for the Jessica Claire workshop I attended in September!  She is so talented!

One really cool thing about my day happened while a few of the workshop attendees were standing around talking with Victor Sizemore.  He said something with a slight southern accent and I heard it, but it didn’t really register with me.  A girl standing near me asked him if was orginally from the South ….. My mouth hit the floor when he responded he was born and raised in KY!  I couldn’t believe it …. so I moved in closer and asked where in KY.  I really couldn’t believe my ears when he said Clay County … and hour from where I was born and raised!  This was so cool to me on so many levels! =]

I know I have mentioned how cold it was …. but it was really really really cold!  I could barely feel my fingers, but that didn’t stop us from shooting until the very last minute!  Victor literally pulled the chord on the lighting in order to get us to load the bus to head back!  =}

The following people made this possible for all of us:
