Jayden’s mother, Nicole, requested a session with me a few months ago through The Gold Hope Project. Jayden was diagnosed last September with T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, after a trip to the pediatrician and ultimately the emergency room with some bruising and petechiae. Nicole thought she was getting Jayden checked out for anemia, which runs in...
It was such fun helping Allison and Josh share the news of their baby with family and friends. Allison had pregnancy reveal t-shirts made, and brought baby’s first ultrasound and a letter board to their pregnancy announcement session. Even with the baby props that she brought, I tried to keep the focus of this session...
Little Austyn’s newborn session was a dream from start to finish. Her mother, Brittany, texted me just prior to the session. “Hey, would it be okay if we got some shots of Zak skin-to-skin with Austyn?” Um yes, girl. I love it when dad’s are comfortable enough to capture these skin-to-skin poses, because there’s really...
Quite often, my clients come through those doors thinking that they just want the digital files from their portrait sessions. However, when they see the many printing and framing samples that I have in my studio, the value in printing these priceless images with a professional is obvious. This family had no doubts from the...
Summer mini-sessions are here! Before long the temperatures will be hot enough to keep most Vegas families indoors or up the mountain. In the meantime, let’s get out to a park for some Las Vegas mini-sessions. I’m leaving these open to family, maternity, baby, and breastfeeding portraits. Summer fun themes are welcome as well! These...
Little Dani left the NICU at the very end of March, after a few weeks of worry for her momma. We had spoken weeks prior about all of her hopes and wishes for newborn photography, and we had every little detail of her newborn session planned. Her slightly early arrival threw us both through a...
Baby Bryce’s aunt booked a newborn mini-session for her, as a gift to the new parents in the family. The one-hour newborn session was just enough time to capture some of her sweet perfection. She has such gorgeous skin, and stayed fairly sleepy through these wrapped and cuddly poses. Her mom had requested earthy greens...
Lindsey and Brendan have been hoping for a baby for a long time, and with the help of in vitro fertilization (IVF) their miracle baby is on the way. When I spoke to Lindsey before their session, she expressed that she wanted their maternity portraits to focus on both she and Brendan, as they had...
Valley of Fire has been my happy place this Spring. It has been so green and lush out there for recent maternity sessions, and just a beautiful sight to breath in. When I took Brittany and Zak out there for their Valley of Fire maternity session, they concluded the same: just an awe-inspiring backdrop. These...
I first met Elliot and Emerson in November at their family’s holiday mini-session, and was thrilled to hear from their mom again for cake smash photography. She told me that she hoped to keep everything simple and baby-focused. That’s my favorite kind of cake smash. Sometimes we parents get carried away with themes and ideas,...
These are beautiful and praying this little guy gets to ride that dirt bike again soon. Hugs to all. <3
