Michael Paul, 9 months {Las Vegas Baby/Children's Photographer}

I'm so lucky because I have 2 little supermodels at my disposal. :-)

I ordered new backdrops and I needed to "test" them out, and what do you know? It was time for my nephew's 9 month pictures! Yay me!

I can't tell you how much I LOVE my new brick backdrop and how I can't wait to try other things with my rust one.

Then I can't tell you how much I can't wait to get MORE and do it all over again.

And pouring over these pictures, I smile at every one because Michael is so easy with that smile of his and he's got a new "pirate grin" that is too funny. I love that little man!

**Sorry for the photo overload- I crashed my laptop and couldn't make any collages this time!

My Princess, 1 year {Las Vegas Children's Photographer}

I'm awful at putting my posts up in a timely matter. Like, I was done with these pictures 2 weeks ago. Yeah, I know. I'm lame.

Anyway....

You may recall how I said it was next-to-near impossible to get my daughter to sit still long enough to take her picture?

Haha! This time I had a plan!

It went something like this: I would set up in a relatively "unfamiliar" environment, put her in a big fluffy skirt, put lots of necklaces on her, and have the camera on continuous shoot all in the hopes of her sitting still just long enough so I could get SOMETHING.

It worked! She sat still for about 6 minutes before she decided that the necklaces could move WITH her and then she took off!

But I got images so wonderful that I even had to get a big canvas done. <3 YAY!

So enjoy!










Awesomeness:



Now, stop me if you've seen this before. WAIT, DON'T. You know it's the best.

Tickled Pink {I Heart Faces Photo Challenge}

So, this is my first ever entry in this type of thing and I'm pretty excited. I don't know what I'm expecting from it, but I don't think it will be anything bad!

This weeks theme is "Tickled Pink" in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month. I'm sure many of you know someone who has been affected by this horrible disease and we all pray for a cure.

Here's my baby for her one year pics (more to come):



Thanks for stopping by!

My Mommy is getting married! {Las Vegas Couples/Wedding Photographer}

I'm actually kinda speechless really. I never thought my mom would get re-married and I would be her photographer.

NEVER.

But she is, and I am. I couldn't be happier for her! She deserves all this and so much more. She found a great guy who treats her like the queen she deserves to be. He found the love of his life who would go to the ends of Earth for him.

This is how it's suppose to be.

If you didn't know, my mom is the best. She asked me to take her engagement photos and then I volunteered to design her invitations. I don't think she realized it, but because of that, I am a better photographer. Because that's what Mom's do, right?

I love you Mom!







Then there's this photo. It's not one you would hang on the wall, or one you would even necessarily buy or even give a second glance to. But I do, and I love it.

Why? Because they are smiling and happy. And if that's what they do for each other every day until eternity, then that makes me SO HAPPY.

Jessika's Birthday Invitations {Las Vegas Baby/Children's Photographer}

Oh how I thought I would get a million great pictures of my little princess!

How wrong I was!!!

She's mobile now, and that means she won't sit still for my pictures. I have plenty with her hand in my face or of her little bum, but not a single one where she's looking at me smiling all precious-like in the same spot where I put her.

Out of over 100 shots I took for this, only maybe 5 were decent. Note that I didn't say good or great.

No smiles, and the only reason she stayed in the same place was because she didn't like the grass.

It turned out pretty good, but not they way my Mommy-mind imagined.

I guess it's just the beginning and I'll have to get used to it. :-)

But you know what, she still pretty stinkin' cute!

K & N Maternity {Las Vegas Maternity Photographer}

I was honored to be asked to take my brother's best friends maternity pics. They were in a hurry though, because baby A could make his appearance any day. Unfortunately for them, 2 weeks later, still no baby. :-( But even so, we got some fabulous pics!

Thanks K & N for such a great time! I can't wait to meet Mr. A and hopefully take his pics too!







Because I LOVE it so, and I think it's worthy of being seen twice...

My Baby at Easter {Las Vegas Childrens Photographer}

Here it is, the photo you've been waiting for! The first picture of my princess on the photography blog!

She's not smiling in any of the pics- I think she was still sleepy because I started the whole shoot right after she woke up from a nap. :-) Oh well, she's still cute!

I can't wait to take MANY, MANY more. She's so photogenic and such a cheeser! It's going to be so much fun to dress her up & turn her into a supermodel (until she gets the fake cheese smile anyway!).

Michael Paul @ 3 Months {Las Vegas Baby Photographer}

Ok, you may or may not know that I have a daughter. She's only 3 months older than Michael, yet I have no pictures of her on my blog. Why? Because Lordy is it hard to take a picture & wrangle your own child! But now that she's older, I plan on taking her picture plenty. :-) In the meantime, I get to take pictures of my nephew!

Here's my handsome guy at 3 months. While I was editing, I noticed he has the MOST gorgeous sapphire blue eyes. He's also starting to really develop his personality & smiles a lot. He's definitely the apple of his mommy's & daddy's eyes - you can totally see it in the pictures. I heart those people so much!

Without further adieu...











Twins, or what?!

Introducing Michael Paul III! {Las Vegas Newborn Photographer}

Talk about a fantastic after-Christmas present!! My nephew, Michael Paul III, was born on December 27, 2010 at 5:27pm. He's a spitting image of his beautiful momma and Daddy's pride & joy.

I'm so thankful that they chose me to take his newborn pictures and I hope they'll let me take many more! :-)

Now, let's all revel is his cuteness!

Leah & Sarah {Las Vegas Childrens Photographer}

My best friend & her family came to town for Christmas, and I can't tell you how good it was to see Sarah after a year & a half and meet Miss Leah! I was very excited when Christina (my BFF) asked me to take Leah's picture in an heirloom dress, and of course we had to do some sister princess pictures!

We had such a good time and I look forward to many more! Love you guys!!!

My Brother is Having a Baby! {Las Vegas Maternity Photographer}

I am so excited to be an aunt, and even more excited that my sister-in-law asked me to take her maternity photos. I'm so lucky that they're both beautiful and we got some awesome shots!

I had to put the color & black and white because I couldn't decide!
