I shot with film for the first time!

Don't worry I am only shooting film for my Large Format Class not for my clients. I am lugging around a huge camera that takes 4x5in film. I've always wanted to mess around with film and I finally have a chance to do so. (for an entire semester) The film holders only hold 4 film sheets per shoot, so I have to be very precise with my settings because I only have 4 shots (this really makes me appreciate digital photography). I heard from some of my classmates that their film didn't develop correctly so I was a little stressed out when I was developing mine. Specially since I was developing my assignment the day before it was due. Procrastination is bad! And when it comes to school I tend to do it a lot, shame on me! Well here is my first assignment. I had to photograph a building without having any distortion and I did it! This first photo is of the film negative after I developed it. Doesn't the negative look cool. It reminds me of infrared.

The photo on the left is the actual photo for my assignment. The one on the right is just for fun.

And I just loved how beautiful the sky looked so I took a quick photo of the entire building...

Dave & Stacy's Wedding - Wedding Photographer

I photographed Dave & Stacy a few months back when I did their engagement session. You couldn't ask for a nicer couple. They are truly meant for each other. I just love the way Dave looks at Stacy. His eyes are so full of LOVE!

Here are some of my favorite photos from the wedding day. Stacy had a beautiful suite at the Aliante Station Casino where the FABULOUS DIVAS of the LAS VEGAS STYLE SIRENS got to work. They have such a great team, they got Stacy's hair & makeup done pretty quick and the results were beautiful...



Look at those beautiful eyes! Didn't I say the Las Vegas Style Sirens did a great job! And don't you just love Stacy's flower? Yep, it was a Hawaiin themed wedding.


One of the things I love about Stacy is that she loves BLING! Look at those cute rhinestones that are in her bouquet...




GORGEOUS, GORGEOUS, GORGEOUS!!!

And here is the handsome Groom:



And I saved my absolute favorite for last. There is just soo much love in this photo!
A special thanks to Shauna at the Aliante for being there to make sure everything ran smoothly. The Aliante Station Casino is a beautiful property. Make sure to check it out!

Girls Night out at THE PLAZA!

This event was a lot of fun! We got together with some of our preferred wedding/event vendors and had some awesome giveaways. Thanks to all the brides that showed up. Here are some quick snapshots of the vendors. (that's me on the top left)

Here is the part of the event that all the brides looked forward to, the giveaways! And look at the excitement on their faces...

At my booth I had one of my beautiful backgrounds and did some fun photos of the brides and their bridesmaids. Aren't they gorgeous....


And this cute girl on the left won the free engagement session I gave away. We have some cool ideas for her shoot, but you'll have to wait and see. I'll be doing her session this upcoming weekend. Yay!

And the hot divas below are from the Las Vegas Style Sirens. They are soo nice and do such AMAZING work! They are Wendhy recommended!

Check out the photo below! The Las Vegas Style Sirens did Auburn's hair and makeup and did such a great job. Don't those angel wings look great?! I just used those wings for a boudoir session recently and the photos turned out amazing.
Brides, if you're looking for something special to give to your husband on the wedding night, The Little Black Book is the way to go! Or if your one year wedding anniversary is coming up this would make a great gift. Give me a call to get more details.

And here is a photo of all the vendors in the photobooth provided by All Events. I just love their photobooths. They can fit a lot of people, they provide fun props for you to wear, and they'll print out two strips of photos. Not to mention that the owner and his staff are fun people. They do a fantastic job at all of their events. If you're looking for a DJ or photobooth, All Events is the way to go!


Thank you to all our vendors for the amazing giveaways and for making this event become a reality.
And a special thanks to Adam, from the Plaza at Whitney Ranch, for allowing us to hold the event at his beautiful property. This is definitely an excellent venue to have your wedding or event. Make sure to check it out! I took some photos of the inside of the property with some amazing lighting provided by All Events and it looked like something out of a movie. I'll be posting those photos later. Thanks for stopping by.

How to leave a comment on my blog...

If you're not familiar to blogging it can be kind of tricky. So here are some step by step instructions on how to leave me a comment. (I just found out that if you're using FIREFOX for your web browser you won't be able to leave a comment, so you'll have to use INTERNET EXPLORER OR SAFARI (for mac users))


First you'll want to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the blog post you're viewing (but don't skip to the next set of photos from another session) and find my signature (the pink heart next to the text "Wendhy"). Right underneath it you will find the word COMMENTS, click on it. Here is an example of what I am talking about:

Once you click on COMMENTS it will take you to this screen: (now just do the following steps)



When you're done typing your comment, you click on POST COMMENT. The message doesn't automatically appear, it goes through the comment moderation and usually posts later that day. I hope this makes sense, if anyone still has a question about how to leave a comment, please email me at wendhyjeffers@gmail.com

Until next time...

Meet Charlene & the rest of the bunch! (Las Vegas Family Photographer)

Charlene just celebrated her 50th birthday and decided to get some family photos while everyone was in town. Family photos are so precious because before you know it the kids are off to college or getting married. And trying to get everyone together can be quite challenging. You pulled it off Charlene.

Here are some of my favorites. In case you didn't notice, Charlene is the one being attacked by all the kisses. Doesn't she look great!




This little gal was too cute. I think she is definitely daddy's little girl....

I just love my couch! If you're looking for some unique family photos, furniture out in the middle of nowhere is always fun! I just got a new/old vintage chair that I can't wait to take out...


By the way, we had horrible wind for the first part of the shoot, so I am very thankful that we were able to get some great shots after all.
This is all for today, but tune back on Monday evening and I'll have some more beautiful photos
from this outdoor family shoot. This was only half the bunch! Lots more cute
people on the way :)

As promised, here are some more...

I ♥ Faces (Contemplative & Pet Challenge)


So I found this really cool photo site through one of my friend's blog called I Faces. They have weekly contests with different themes, so I thought this would be a great thing to do to keep me on my toes. This weeks challenge was:

CONTEMPLATIVE: thoughtful observation; full or deep consideration; dreamily or wistfully thoughtful: a pensive mood; expressing or revealing thoughtfulness; quiet modes of apparent or real thought; can be marked by some sadness, but doesn't have to be.


And I immediately thought of this photo. Its one that I took when I was first starting out. This little girl is shy and I just loved her expression.

PETS: I loved this little guy! Pets are just too cute, they seriously have their own little personality just like us. I mean look at that expression! I took this photo while at Vicki Tauffer's workshop (It was a ton of fun and will have more photos from the whole trip later).
I think I had a little too much fun with this dog so I might have a Pet PROMO coming up for all you pet lovers. So if you're a pet lover and would like some art photos of your pet stay tuned to the blog.

I just LOVE them.... (Las Vegas Wedding Photographer)

Meet Gabe & Wendy (no "H"....weird, just kidding! I am the weird one :).
They are some of our closest friends and are soo much FUN! We were close to the dry lake so we decided to do a quick photoshoot and this is what I got (I added a texture, but the circles on the lake were already there):


Wendy you look soo SEXY!

And we also did a series of them holding their guns. I'll post more at a later time, just thought I would tease you a little!
