Alana's graduating! Check out a few of the 150+ images from the shoot!

Shot another Bellagio fountain proposal, I’ve been getting more and more lately! This shoot was special because Brian wanted the proposal to be a surprise. I asked Bailee later if she knew and she had no idea she would engaged and on her engagement photo shoot the same day!

I adore these shots we got! Congrats to Bailee & Brian!

I love the drive along I-70 through Glenwood Canyon! The elevated road winds through a mountainous canyon carved by the nascent Colorado River on it’s journey down. There is a nice rest area we stopped at to let the dog out to stretch. Brad and I are now back in Vegas, getting ready for New Years!

We made some old fashioned peanut brittle to give as gifts and I took pictures of the process with my 85mm f1.2 Nikon portrait lens and I am in love with the silky bokeh I got! Oh, and the peanut brittle was pretty good, too!

Looking forward to the holiday season!

​PS: don’t you ❤️ this pic of my husband, Brad?! Looking good!

A young family was in town for the annual Marine Ball and since everyone was going to be in their Sunday Best, they figured they’d squeeze a last minute photo shoot on their way to the gala. The shoot happened after the sun went down so this was an opportunity to work with flash and Vegas’ famous ambient light. We got over 100 edited shots out of our time together! Here are a few of my favorites...

First time shooting in the wetlands in Henderson and I was blown away by the diversity of locations in the park. There’s something for everyone’s taste. I love the reeds because they look like corn stalks that have yet to be harvested. They’re perfect to replicate the look of an autumn farm, but in the Vegas Valley. Ready for your shoot?

Last minute photo shoot at Lone Mountain Regional Park off of 215 near Lone Mountain. I was blown away by how great this park is for photo shoots. Interesting desert landscape and large, wide-open grass fields make for a lovely backdrop. I noticed that, had we more time, we could've gotten closer to Lone Mountain and had a completely different desert look to the shots. I will be back!

Always fun to shoot homecoming shots! I fell in love with this shooting location in the Southwest... I've since poked around the park a little more and there are so many places to uses as a photographic backdrop ranging from green grass and park settings to gloriously stark desert a few steps away. Looking forward to the next shoot at Mountains Edge Regional Park.

This place has so many options to choose from and every time I come I find new, creative settings to shoot at. Caesars Palace and the Bellagio Fountain combo is my favorite last minute photo shoot route. Check availability by texting your proposed shoot date to 702-767-9248.

Judi and Andi celebrated a birthday with a photo shoot on the strip! I always love shooting at the Venetian, the lighting is different every time and so the textures are forever changing. You can get a lot of options of backgrounds and design elements in one location!

Michele and Harry were in town celebrating their anniversary and wanted to capture some photos on the Strip. Michele wanted an early start so we met up at 7:30 AM at the New York, New York Hotel and Casino. I discovered that I love shooting on the Strip that early!

The rising sun gave us some beautifully diffuse light as the sun rays reflected off surfaces and dramatic shadows as it came in through the trees. The best part is that we pretty much had all access to any backdrop in the area, including the Park walkway to the T-Mobile Arena. Lots of fun little areas and textures to play with in the area. I loved the purple flowers near the California Pizza Kitchen!

You two were awesome models!

Denise and Tommy celebrated their 20th anniversary in Vegas and hired me to shoot a quick, last minute photo shoot on the Strip. We kept moving quick, shooting all along the way. We were able to squeeze about 8-10 different backdrops into a span of about 30 minutes! Thanks for the awesome shoot, you two were fun!

Timing is everything.

This young dad was throwing his kid gently up in the air, right in front of Lake Como at the Bellagio. The kid was looking around everywhere but my camera, as you can imagine. On the third throw, for whatever reason, the baby looked over at me and in that split second I pushed the shutter button: *SNAP*

​Picture perfection!

Whatever came before and whatever comes after doesn’t matter when it comes to the world of photography. The only thing that matters is the present, what is happening right then at that exact moment, that moment when all the ducks are in a row and you snap that perfect pic. That quest for perfection and the perfect picture is why I love photography!

For example, look at the other versions of this picture below... they both work, but they are both missing that magical connection that exists in the other version. That little spark is what makes the other one special.

Taking pictures is like fishing. Many of the fish you catch are fine, they’ll get the job done, but every so often, when everything aligns, you finally catch the big one, the one that didn’t get away.

To me, the picture above is one of those Big Fish.

Who’s ready to go fishing with me?

I took this shot at the top of the escalators on the northwest corner of Las Vegas Blvd and Flamingo. The key to the shot is my 14mm wide angle lens that really opens up the photo to include almost 180° Of the view. Of course we took many different versions of this photo but I love the one that shows the full body. The way the groom holds his new wife flatters her figure and connects the both of them.

Who’s ready for the next photo shoot?

Every so often it’s important to take a look at the world from somebody else’s perspective.

I saw this shot when someone set Nolan down for a moment. I’m always looking for a natural frame to spotlight my subject and I couldn’t resist framing Nolan among family member legs.

​I love this shot!

Ashley just graduated from high school and celebrated with friends and family at her home last week. During the festivities, Ashley, her boyfriend, and I snuck away to snap a few photos at a nearby park. They came out great!

Her friends and family are all so proud of her accomplishments and her plans for what’s next: Ashley will study nursing in the fall.

​Congrats, Ashley!
