Random {Las Vegas Photographer}

So I was going through my photos and found this one I took in school awhile back. I figure that it's not that bad, so I might as well put it up. Thanks Domingo for being my model, though I'm sure you never thought you'd wind up on the internet!

The Aguilar Family - Las Vegas Family & Childrens Photographer

This is my co-worker & friend's family. She had been asking me for months to take pictures of her & her girls, but it was quite a chore to get them all together at the same time! But they came to visit for Thanksgiving and we got it done.

There's also a beautiful granddaughter in the mix and I got to take their first family picture.

I had such a good time, and I hope they let me photograph them again soon!

These are some of my favorites:

4 Generations....



The girls....

First family photo....

Love those eyes!!!....

The Stevens Family - Las Vegas Family Photographer

This is my co-worker/friend's brother's family. They stopped by for a couple quick shots while I was shooting my friend & her daughters. One of the kids just didn't want his picture taken, but I kept shooting and got a couple (probably accidentally, for sure!) of him looking in my direction. ;-)

I'm sorry we didn't get as much time together as we would have liked, but thanks for the opportunity!

Pioche Mines - Lincoln County Photographer

Pioche is a little Nevada town, about 180 miles north/northeast of Las Vegas. The population is small- *maybe* 500 people, and the food at the Silver Cafe is great (Hi, Mom!).

It has quite a history- a booming silver mining town back in the mid-1800's and their big claim to fame is that some 72 people died of violent deaths in the town before 1 died of natural causes.

Take in the sights- Boot Hill cemetary, the Million Dollar Courthouse, the Lincoln County Musuem, and drive around to see the old mines. And then, when you've done that, stop by the Silver Cafe for some pie, their homemade breads, or some local CJ Pomegranate jelly. (The latter is a shameless plug for my family.)

The following are pics I took for my final project in one of my classes. I had a great time driving around town with my mom, checking out the places I never explored as a kid (and I can't believe we never did!).

***Edited to add that the teacher liked my photos so much that they will be displayed at the school next semester. YAY!

WE LOVE HAWAII - LAS VEGAS COUPLES PHOTOGRAPHER

I had HUGE plans for the kind of photos I wanted of me & my husband for our Christmas card this year. And why not do it in one of the most beautiful places in the world?


These aren't the photos that made it to the card, but these are a couple more of my favorites.

HAWAIIAN SUNSETS - LAS VEGAS PHOTOGRAPHER

Oh my gosh. I am soooo behind. I can't believe I haven't posted in over 3 months...but I can because I've been sooo busy with other things. Now I'm playing major catch up!


Here's some pics from our September vacation in Maui. Sunsets & sunrises are some of the most beautiful things, no matter where you are. I just happened to stay up for these ones. :-)

My Best Friends Family - Part 2 - Las Vegas Family Photographer

So this is like part 2 to Sarah because this is her mom & dad. Like I've mentioned before, I have like dozens of great pictures and these are my favorite favorites.

Then I have dozens of great Sarah & mommy pics. And more Sarah pics. You just wait!

For now, this will have to hold you over. Hubby and I are going on vacation to Maui here soon and there will plenty of those pics to post too.

ARE YOU READY????

TO BE CONTINUED.....

Sarah - Part 1 - Las Vegas Childrens Photographer

This is Sarah, my best friends little girl. She's just about the most adorable thing you've ever met. So when I went to Kansas City to visit over Memorial weekend, I took LOTS of pictures of her and lots of her mom & dad too.

This is one of the people you WILL see numerous times on my website. She's so stinkin' cute, I have plenty of pictures of her, and I hope to see her every year (and get more pictures).

And this is only the beginning of the great photos I took while I was there.

My Family Portrait

I've been debating many things since I decided to embark on this adventure. How often should I post? Which pictures should I post? What should the "tone" of my personality be? How many pictures should I post if I have over 30 that I like? Should I make them 1 post or 3?

Do you see my dilemma?

So let me tell you about me and what the answers to my own questions are....

My name is Christine (obviously). I've been into photography since I got my first 110 camera 20+ years ago (and no, I'm not that old). I'll always have a soft spot for my 35mm that had a self-timer and allowed me the chance to take my own picture A LOT and I'll never forget when I got a cheap panoramic 35mm and I made my friends model swimsuits and run through the sprinklers. We were 12. And now I heart my Sony digital and Nikon DSLR. Lots of good times.

You might notice in my first two posts that my tone is serious/business-like. That's not really me, but I don't want to put myself out there in the beginning on the off chance that you might think I'm a total dork. I think I have a little bit of humor and I'm a good person, so hopefully as things get going, you'll notice that.

So to answer those questions....

I figured I should post as much as I can right now. I mean, you need to see some proof that I can manage a camera, right? So I'll post as much as I can with what I already have. Of course there will come a time when I will run out of material, but that's when I really have to get to work. That's where you come in! Call me.....I can always use new pics on my site!

Which pictures? All the ones I deem good enough. Old ones, new ones. 30 of the same people (those are coming). I mean, sometimes you can't help it if you have so many good ones of the same people. It's not a bad thing! But maybe I will break it up into a couple different posts. Children, family, mother/daughter, etc. It will just look better that way (I think).

So that's a little bit about me. Feel free to ask questions. I have nothing to hide and am open to any suggestions. I can always use new ideas! Thanks for listening.

And now..... the picture we used for our Christmas card 2008.

Scruffy - Las Vegas Pet Photographer

Here's some shots of my most accessible and "willing" models (especially if there's a treat involved!). I especially love the top 2!

Mother & Daughter - Las Vegas Family Photographer

This was from my first ever "official" session and my co-worker volunteered herself & her daughter to be my models. If I didn't know it, you would have sworn they were sisters! They were a pleasure to work with, and I can only hope for another chance in the future.

Prices

I am currently not charging for sessions. Yes, that means they are FREE!

I can do family, newborn, maternity, engagement, wedding, vacation, or any other kind of photo you can think of. However......

There is a catch.....

* Sessions are only held in public places.

* Sessions outside of city limits are charged a $20 cash fee payable at the beginning of the session (outside city limits include Lake Mead/Lake Las Vegas, Mt. Charleston, Red Rock, etc.).

But that's it! And this is what else you'll receive from me:

* Time- as long as it takes to get those perfect shots!

* A CD with fully edited photos and rights to reproduce those photos.

* An online gallery (Kodak Gallery) to share your photos with family & friends and allow them (or yourself) to order prints online.
