Soooo…it’s been quite a hectic couple of weeks! Just wanted to thank EVERYONE for their congrats on our “big announcement”! I think I’m finally starting to feel as close to “normal” as possible…which is saying a lot because the past couple of months have been a roller coaster! I will have a proper blog post next week filling you all in on my pregnancy so far but first I must take care of some business!

I had the honor of photographing Melissa & Elsa from ME Events & Design for their latest head shots! I got the chance to work with them on Angeline & Mike’s FABULOUS wedding last year at the St. Regis and will work with them again on another wedding next month! Based on their fab work with A & M’s wedding, I can’t wait to see what they have in store for Janie & Leo’s wedding at the London West Hollywood! These girls have a lot of great things in store (new branding and site) so stay tuned for that!

Below are just some highlights from their session…enjoy!

Melissa Hsu: Trista! You are absolutely amazing! We love the preview and seriously had so much fun shooting with you. :) Thank you, thank you! May 18, 2012 11:34 pm

You guys are sisters…really?! That’s usually the first thing people say when they see my sister Nicole and I together…which we don’t actually get to hear that often because Nicole lives in Miami and I live here (CA). However, for the past week, Nicole was here everyday on vacation and it was wonderful!! You see, Nicole and I have never really gotten to spend that much time together through out our lives. She was born in Miami when I was 7 (we have different moms) and we didn’t actually get to meet until SHE was 7.

Our first meeting was…awkward. It’s like “Hey, meet your sister!” Weird initially but definitely not weird now…more like “my sister is so much like me, yet not” it’s ridiculous. Some of the personality traits we share : we’re talkative in certain situations but naturally introverted, she likes personal time to “think” as do I, we both LOVE food and have a very hard time turning away carbs, she is girly girl and can appreciate a fine pair of Louboutins (me too!), she is a magnet for men who all want to date her…obviously this is true for me too…NOT…LOL! There’s a lot more but I’ll keep that between Nicki and I…it’s a sister thing ;-)

Obviously when Nicole told me she was coming for a visit, the first thing I said was “we need to do a photo shoot!”. Nicole was all “blah, I’m feeling fluffy right now but maybe we could do some head shots…I need a pic for my Linkedin”. What was supposed to be head shots turned into an afternoon of “omg, turn your head this way…now smile…the light is amazing in your hair…put on this hat, look that way”…lol…to say the least, we had a blast! I can’t get over how gorgeous my sister is…not only is she gorgeous, but she is also fun, feisty, driven, and REALLY smart…oh, and an amazing writer! You should check out her blog here: Nicole K Cunningham

My sis left on Tuesday and it’s been kind of a bummer…the only thing making me feel a little better is that there are already plans to see each other again…but this time in Miami! Can’t wait little sis! Here are just a few of my favs…trust me…there’s a lot more but I had to condense it…otherwise there would be like a hundred pics!

Just for fun…here is a pic of me and Nicole when I was 16 and she was 9. I actually think we look a lot a like in this pic! She is just tanner than me…still is…damn!

Nicole has a beautiful smile…wouldn’t you agree? :-)

Love this shot of my sis! The light shining through her hair is magical…and so are her highlights! I love her hair…I WANT her hair!

Seriously?! Shut the front door…I actually don’t like that saying at all and prefer the “real” saying but I will abstain since there might be children reading my blog :-)

I’m deeply jealous of my sister’s long beautiful legs! She claimed that she was feeling fluffy…the only thing fluffy about Nicole is her hair…

This is like my most favorite portrait I’ve taken…not only of my sis but EVER! The light, the hat, her eyes… L-O-V-E!

Beautiful afternoon light…

I think my sister is the perfect combination of cute & sexy :-)

OMG….I love everything about this dress! I’d go out and buy it this very second but I’m a realist…this dress would not look this good on me…whatevs…I’m over it..

Love!!!

Nicole…if you were not my sister I would totally dislike you…I mean that in the nicest possible way ;-)

Last shot of the day…the best for last :-)
