You probably recognize Jason and Amanda as we have photographed them quite a bit, from their engagement session, maternity photos and the latest was newborn portraits of their daughter Chloe. It was time for family portraits a couple of weeks ago and I couldn’t believe how big Chloe had gotten! It seemed like just last month I was at their house for the newborn session and now here she was sitting up on her own, trying to walk and full of smiles. I have to give huge props to my amazing hubby for making her giggle when needed
I love a man that can act like a goofball! xoxo Here are a few of the portraits we captured of their growing family! If you would like to check out their other sessions you can seem them by clicking on the name of the session you would like to see: ENGAGEMENT MATERNITY NEWBORN

It’s been a while since I have blogged, with the holidays we have just been so busy with everything I have not had a chance to! So today is the day, I finally have a little down time so I thought I would share JoAnn and Marco’s family portraits. These two are getting married next year so we did a combined engagement session and family portrait session out at Nelson Ghost town. It is such a cool unique location that I just can’t get enough of! Here are some of my favorite images from their session!

I am super excited to show you guys some of my favorite images from Janice and Mateo’s Engagement session out at Lake Las Vegas. I decided to scout out some new locations around Lake Las Vegas and I think I found some beautiful new areas. It doesn’t feel like they are in Vegas and even when we were out on their photo shoot it didn’t feel like Vegas, it was so tropical and relaxing. The morning light was so stunning and inspirational the way it broke through the leaves. It seemed like everywhere I looked there was another breathtaking scene. I had a blast with these two, they were so easy going and Mateo was awesome at making Janice laugh. I have to say being a photographer is so rewarding, I love being able to create and capture moments with such amazing people. Thank you Janice and Mateo for choosing me to photograph you, it was truly my pleasure!

This is my third portrait session with Talia, Brent, Kylie, Kenna and Blaine. They were getting ready to move and wanted to get one last session in before their big move. We headed out to where their relationship began which was at Lake Las Vegas where they first met.

I first spoke with Jessica and Chris at the Beautiful Bride Expo when I recognized Jessica, but for the life of me I could not figure out where I knew her from. She thought for a few minutes and looked through our albums when she realized that some of the prints that were displayed at the booth were ones she had printed at her lab. Las Vegas can be such a small world! Turned out she was admiring my photography when she was printing it! Shortly after they reserved their wedding photography with us and we scheduled their engagement photography session. They wanted to do something different that not everyone else had done which I was totally game for. We headed over to the Clark County Heritage Museum in Henderson NV for their photos. We had some fun with all the vintage decor and props which fits in perfectly to their vintage hollywood glam themed wedding this winter.


I LOVE Jessica’s eyes! They are so haunting don’t ya think?

Maternity photos are always a fun time. I love the glow of the expecting mother and the love connection that can be felt between the couple. Carmela and Funtaine were no exception it just exudes from them. We went to the beautiful Spring Mountain Ranch State Park
and we could not have asked for a better day for their maternity photo session, it was so beautiful and peaceful up there.
Just before we left a herd of deer actually came out into the field, it really did not seem like we were anywhere near Vegas anymore.
Here are a few of my favorite images from their session. I can’t wait for little Noah to come!
