I have been horrible with blogging lately. I’ve got a few sessions and weddings to post and I plan to get those up over the next month or so. Life is flying by and it’s been a lot of fun!

A few weeks ago, my dad’s side of the family went out and celebrated what would have been my Grandpa’s birthday. Grandpa and Grandma Stenz loved Vegas and spent a lot of time there, so it was fitting to have a gathering to celebrate there. I decided before we went that there were a few shots I wanted to get. I’m happy to say that I was able to get all of them, and then some. I wanted to go out early one morning (so I headed into the desert at 4am one day), I wanted a nighttime shot of the strip (which allowed for a day shot as I was scoping out locations), and I wanted to get to Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam to get some shots.

As a bonus, when we got near Lake Mead, we decided to take a short helicopter ride (Jess, my sisters and I). I’ve been in helicopters before, yet they hadn’t, so it was great chance to get a little taste of it.

All in all, it was a great few days with the family.

I’ve been playing around with 360 virtual panoramic photography in the last few days and wanted to share one with you. Below is a full panoramic shot from the sunrise this morning. As you can see, it’s not perfect by any means. Yet I’m excited to be making these so I wanted to show one off ;-)

If it’s not working, make sure you have QuickTime installed. You can hold “Ctrl” to zoom out and “Shift” to zoom in. You can click and drag it around to see a full 360 degrees.
