Roy and Morgan

Last December, I was asked by a couple of friends of mine who are newly engaged to do an engagement session for them.  I was so excited because I already knew them and  Roy was one of my husbands' best friends from high school.  Both my husband and Roy don't like posing for the camera so I knew I was going to have tons of fun with this one.  I was planning on messing with him....big time!!  
Morgan wanted to get some shots at Aria around those beautiful fountains and I haven't done any shoots there yet, so I was thrilled.  Sometimes I like to offer the engaged couple to grab a couple glasses of champaign that we could use as props.  They were down for that so they grabbed it, we all went outside and right when they sat down....it broke!  Okay, we'll have to improvise....no more champaign, ha!!  The rest of the shoot was a breeze, except for the fact that it was 30 degrees outside and poor Morgan was freezing.  I hope she didn't get sick from being outside too long.  Anyway, we got some good shots outside that I loved.  We headed over to Bellagio for some sunset shots of the Bellagio fountains.  I love shooting in front of those fountains.  This time the show was much shorter than the ones I had in the past and the fountains just weren't quite as high as they had been in the past.....since it was pushing 29 degrees outside, we didn't wait for another show....who would!!! 
Thanks Roy and Morgan! I didn't mess with Roy like I could have but since you were such a great sport, I really didn't have to!

Delenia- Portrait Session














































Delenia is a mother of 4 children who has an easy spirit and is extremely soft spoken. Boy, did the camera love her! That day, we had the perfect sunlight and multiple backdrops. It was hard to beleive we were still in Las Vegas. I had the opportunity to work with a couple other photographer's and with their experience and our ideas together, we managed to have a successful day. Skip, a photographer out here has a sister who is a make-up artist and did Delenia's make-up. It looked beautiful! Delenia was up for anything and I'm sure she was exausted by the end of the day. Thankfully, it wasn't in the heat of the summer, we were all quite comfortable.
Thank you Delenia, you were fantastic and I hope you loved your images!

Brookes in Ghost Town, Nelson Nevada- Engagement Portrait session


































































Brookes is a quite girl who LOVES the camera, and the camera loves her! This couple had to have been one of the easiest I have had the pleasure to work with. I had so much fun it was hard to beleive I was actually working, doing what I love. She and her man were great sports and it really showed in our session.

Thanks guys! I had a blast and you two were a great team!












Nicole and Ryan's Bridal Session














































Nicole and Ryan are Newlywed's living in California bringing their family to Las Vegas for the wedding of a LIFETIME. Who wouldn't want to get married here! I had a chance to work with another photographer on this adventure and we had a blast. I was 8 months pregnant and running around in the property of Caesars Palace was a great workout....Being a past employee, I saw parts of the hotel I've never seen. It is absolutely gorgeous, and is one of my favorite locations to shoot. Nicole and Ryan were down for anything. Wearing those high heels didn't stop the Bride from walking two miles to get to a perfect memorable spot to remember their wedding day.

Alexa's Senior Portrait Session






Alexa is a senior in High School with a dream to become a Photo Journalist. My experience with her is witty and quick with her tongue. I think she could do very well as an attorney but who knows where life might take her.
Typically uneasy in front of the camera, I managed to get her in the mood and comfortable enough to look confident for her senior photos. The place we chose was surreal. The amazing backdrops we chose, made the photos undeniably tasteful, in my opinion. I can't wait to do another session in that spot. Another season, maybe spring time would be exciting!

Jeff, Molly and Jake's-Family Portrait
























































Jeff and Molly are two Las Vegas residents love their son, Jake, more than everything. Who couldn't love this adorable brown eyed little guy. 18 months old and ready to take on the world, he managed to get me out of breath. Forgetting to bring a bottle water, I was able to make it through the session without passing out, Ha!! Trying to get the camera in his face view and possible get a smile was like trying to catch a train going 50mph....seriously!
So, my future brother in law and their sister came along for the ride to help get little Jake to smile and thank god they were there......the session turned out to be a success, all because of them!
Thanks everyone! I had fun! I think I drank 3 bottles of water after our adventure! I hope you love your photos!
