I'm BACK!

It's been over a year since my last Blog update, but I now have the most handsome little man to show for it!

I have done a few shoots here and there and will post a few shots from each.
I am so grateful for my customers for always returning and referring.
I love what I do and I wouldn't be able to do it without any of you!

Thank you!

TB Senior session

It's very odd when you are able to watch someone grow from baby to High School Senior and remember it all. This year I have the pleasure to watch my cousin graduate from the same high school my mother graduated from 50 years ago.

I met up with my cousin for a quick shoot. We shot the "boring" photos, the nice ones, and quickly headed up the street to catch him long boarding. He has such a passion for long boarding and you can see it as he rides.
So here are a few shots from our session.








Congrats!! Im very excited to see what the future holds for you!

She said yes!!!

I had the sweat honor of helping my friend propose to his love! I even got to ride with as he picked out the ring! I cant tell how many times I was about to explode with excitement! A few days before the proposal I met with my friend and went over the "Plan". Then he handed me the ring.... Whoa!! Let me tell you, having someone else's engagement ring in your possession is very nerve wracking. I wouldn't trade any of this experience for anything!!

Here's how it went down...

I had "called" my friend and was looking for a couple to shoot for my portfolio and I was wondering if they would be willing to help. Of course they were! ;)
We met at the Railroad pass between Henderson, and Boulder City then headed out to Nelson, NV. They brought along two friends with them, and those two are pretty awesome people. It was all laughs and giggles until.... it was time.

I had a spot in mind so we headed that way, and I just gave my friend a wink. I swear my body heat went up 20 degrees!

I positioned him a few feet behind her, and I had to keep walking over to him to "show him how to pose" and passed off the ring. I snapped a few shots to keep her attention, then asked her to hold her pose. That's when he was on his knee, and to get her expression I stood right behind him. It was too perfect! She said "of course" which in my book counts for a big YES!

I am so happy for these two and I cannot, I repeat, I CAN NOT wait to shoot their wedding!

I just love her expression

Grandchildren

When I first started taking pictures, I was a little nervous about photographing kids. In fact after my first child shoot, I swore off kids. Well that didn't last long at all, and now kids are in fact one of my favorite things to photograph.

I got together with my cousins for a Mother's/Grandmother's day shoot. I will say these kids are super fun, and so easy going! Its like they are trained models!
So I will be glad to photograph your kids ANYTIME!!



This is what big brothers do when you say "hold him up!" But he doesn't seem to mind.

Senior Session

Here are a few photos we shot while we were scoping out Nelson, NV. It is really a neat place to visit!

 

Engagement... Not!

I have to give some BIG credit to my niece for letting me drag her around and pose her every which way. She's younger and I can tell her what to do for the most part, and she is very easy going about all this. I asked her and a friend of hers to shoot a MOCK engagement session. It was fun!! Probably the most fun Ive had just walking around snapping pictures. again... She is NOT engaged for all family and friends who read this!!!
