While we were there we got to do a little sight seeing and of course took some photos along the way. One of my best friends is attending dental school at UNLV so we were lucky to have our own personal tour guide while we were there! Thanks Soph! It was also super fun to run into our photographer friends Scott McNamara and Julie Paisley. We&#8217;ll also be posting a few photos from a workshop we attended in the dessert so keep an eye out for that. : )<\/p>\n<p><em>Things We Learned in Vegas<\/em><br \/>\nStreet characters expect tips BEFORE posing for photos.<br \/>\nThe Sex and the City slots game = awesome.<br \/>\nIf you see any grass in Vegas, it&#8217;s definitely fake.<br \/>\nHave lip gloss with you at all times, holy dryness.<br \/>\nBoys cannot bring purses (aka camera bags) into nightclubs.<br \/>\nWhen martinis are $16 and 4 oz mixed drinks are $12, it makes more sense to gamble that money and take the free drinks with welcome arms.<br \/>\nJason learned not to play the Sex and the City game alone, those cameras are watching you.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9168\" title=\"01\" src=\"https:\/\/vitalicphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/011.jpg\" alt=\"las vegas bellagio fountants, las vegas bellagio, bellagio hotel\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9170\" title=\"02\" src=\"https:\/\/vitalicphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/021.jpg\" alt=\"las vegas sugar factory\" width=\"848\" height=\"592\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9171\" title=\"03\" src=\"https:\/\/vitalicphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/031.jpg\" alt=\"las vegas, the strip, las vegas strip, las vegas bellagio fountains, las vegas bellagio, bellagio hotel\" width=\"850\" height=\"707\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9172\" title=\"04\" src=\"https:\/\/vitalicphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/042.jpg\" alt=\"las vegas strip\" width=\"850\" height=\"422\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9169\" title=\"01b\" src=\"https:\/\/vitalicphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/01b.jpg\" alt=\"las vegas welcome sign\" width=\"850\" height=\"1053\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9174\" title=\"06\" src=\"https:\/\/vitalicphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/061.jpg\" alt=\"las vegas, las vegas desert, red rock canyon, desert scene\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9175\" title=\"07\" src=\"https:\/\/vitalicphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/071.jpg\" alt=\"las vegas desert, red rock canyon, las vegas\" width=\"850\" height=\"707\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9177\" title=\"09\" src=\"https:\/\/vitalicphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/091.jpg\" alt=\"las vegas, lake meade, lake mead\" width=\"850\" height=\"281\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9178\" title=\"10\" src=\"https:\/\/vitalicphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/101.jpg\" alt=\"hoover dam, hoover observation bridge, las vegas, nevada dam, tilt shift photography\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9187\" title=\"a\" src=\"https:\/\/vitalicphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/a.jpg\" alt=\"las vegas strip, las vegas night lights, las vegas time lapse photography, night time time lapse, las vegas long exposure\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9188\" title=\"b\" src=\"https:\/\/vitalicphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/b.jpg\" alt=\"las vegas\" width=\"850\" height=\"707\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9189\" title=\"c\" src=\"https:\/\/vitalicphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/c.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"850\" height=\"281\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9190\" title=\"d\" src=\"https:\/\/vitalicphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/d.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chrissy, Jason and I recently took a trip to Las Vegas to attend WPPI &#8211; the Wedding &amp; Portrait Photographers International convention.
