My son and one of his best buddies are so cute and mischievous together, truly two peas in a pod, I have to share a handful of shots I grabbed recently. Once again, the portrait lens is such a joy, I love love love it!!

One of the leading Lake Tahoe wedding and event planning companies, Blue Sky Events, is owned by Kerry Hawk, who started this career at the Zephyr Cove Resort, which wanted to use its 5-acre lakefront property for corporate and team building events. After just having gotten married at Valhalla herself, Kerry recognized the potential of the lakefront location, and within a few years built a very successful wedding business for the resort, gathering experience in every possible aspect of wedding planning, from dealing with the forest service to cake tastings to last-minute floral adjustments. In 2005 she decided to go out on her own and hasn’t looked back. Her husband Jason recently joined the continuously growing company to handle its business aspects.

Kerry is eager to share her love for Lake Tahoe with her clients, and her enthusiasm is truly contagious. Always positive and happy, she runs her team of consultants flawlessly and with attention to every detail. Her clients are like family, and not one ceremony goes by where she doesn’t tear up! And now that she’s a mom of a 2-year old boy, the mother-son dances really make her heart jump as well.

In her personal life, Kerry enjoys snowboarding at Kirkwood, which is somewhat of a second home to her. She loves the smaller mountain and takes every chance she gets to go out there and have fun.

Blue Sky Events has a featured wedding on the knot, and the family event they put on for South Lake Tahoe last New Year’s earned them a huge article in the Tahoe Tribune. Keep your eyes open for them, they’re everywhere, putting together anything from small personal affairs to big ballroom events!

Blue Sky Events is a pleasure to work with – find out more here!

I am working on a vendor category; rather than just having a links page on my website, I will introduce the vendors I respect and trust with some background and personal information about them. I am looking forward to offering a platform to feature great people! I will interview them to gather in-depth information not on their web site and give you an idea what they’re all about.

A lot is going on behind the scenes, and I haven’t been shooting or posting much – I’m working on new sample albums which will be waaaaay cool, and I just can’t wait to have them; and then there are the vendor profiles… more on that later – I’m excited!
