Life is crazy...It's going to push you over, kick you while you're down and hit you when you try to get up.

Listen to your heart, follow your dreams, push the limits, bend the rules, laugh at everything, take risks, live on the edge, yet stay safe. Give 110% in everything you do.

Fight for what you believe in. Forget the unnecessary, but remember everything. Never forget where you came from and always remember where you are going. Have a reason for everything you do. Believe in yourself and never lose faith in others.

Find your purpose in life, and Live It!

Thank you Sam.

Young, innocent, carefree,
Singing, laughing, dancing,
All the while growing up.

Keep always in your heart

the memories and wonders
cherished as a child.

Keep that little child inside!
Hold her close to your heart.

For a moment each day
It's OK to get silly
to laugh and to dance.

Thank you Amanda .

The future lies before you...

Dare to jump into your future with enthusiasm. Dare to place no limits on what you hope to accomplish. Dare to dream big and realize it's not just a cliché and bring excellence to everything you do. And most importantly, dare to succeed beyond your wildest expectations.

May you always be blessed and thank you always.

Las Vegas Wedding Photography / Krystal & Brian

2012-01-24T12:45:00.000-08:00

Krystal & Brian, from Orlando, Florida. Young, in love and full of fun, they absolutely LOVED the thrill of a Las Vegas Wedding. Though they didn't get married by Elvis or go through the drive through chapel, with their close family and friends still had a great Vegas Wedding experience. You can bet that they'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Live, Laugh, Love, and thank you always for having me there.

Life is that not only are you responsible for your life, but also for doing the best at this moment that puts you in the best place for the next moment. And obstacles are put in our way to see if we really want to reach our goals or if we just thought we did... the pen is in your hands, the rest is still unwritten.

Moments pass, memories last. Congratulations, Anthony & Thank you Bobbie for letting me capture these memories for you.

Family First - To be brought up with a strong belief in the family is the most important thing in life. Taught by example, that family will always love you no matter what, and that a loving, supportive, caring, positive family upbringing will produce the same qualities in adults.

God bless you and thank you always, for allowing me to capture these memories for you and your family.

Las Vegas Photography/ Nelson, NV/ Lainey & Vincent

2011-08-02T12:17:00.000-07:00

Lainey & Vincent were married in Hawaii, but when they got back to Vegas they wanted to have just a little more fun and so we headed over to Nelson, NV. Just about an hour out of town it was a first for the both of us to be there. Nelson, Nevada... In its heyday, the area established a reputation for being rough and lawless.

A few things to be aware of while on the property. This is the location of an old mine and the buildings and items on the property are real relics. You'll see old buildings, rusted-out and antique cars, old road and gas station signs, and even old mining equipment used back when the gold mine was in full swing. This place is a photographer’s dream location to get some amazing photos.

Thank you Lainey & Vincent for sharing such an amazing time with me.

And if I begin to miss the Las Vegas heat, I'll just have to order another Piña Colada Well some one has to do it so... I'll be back soon.

And that was talking about me!!! We had to laugh. All in all the session was a lot of fun and these are a few portraits that patience produced. Kiera is adorable and I hope to have her model for me again one day.

It may be time consuming but I still believe in the personal touch of artistic design and custom craftsmanship. Though it would be a lot faster and easier to automate a processed album, I become so deeply involved in the lives of my wedding clients that I feel that they deserve more than the canned album template. Ashley and Jason have become more than just clients, they have become friends. Congratulations you two and may your love grow beyond measure.

Just be who you are and say what you feel,

and those who matter don't mind."

It's not going to be a really big wedding. It'll be in Hawaii (how nice is that?). They contacted us for their engagement photography session and wanted that Old Vegas taste and flair. But the best thing is that it's easy to capture real moments and smiles. Thank you both Arlynn and Kane for letting me capture these moments for you ;-).

2011-04-17T08:33:00.000-07:00

Not every pregnancy portrait need be a rendition of Demi Moore's nude that controversially appeared on the front cover of Vanity Fair in 1991. Honestly, Kristina may have felt more comfortable exposing herself in the walled privacy of a studio or even perhaps with a female photographer. Kristina's portrait session can grace the storefront posters of 'A Pea In A Pod' or 'Motherhood Maternity'. The bottom line is that we had and AMAZINGLY fun time and produced these beautiful portraits in her season of life that she will always cherish and share.

2011-04-14T09:09:00.000-07:00

Some kids will warm up to you immediately. Some won’t. While 6 year old AJ did his best, three-year-old Courtney had that perfect, angelic face and expressions with a certain look that just screams out “I’m three”. And that’s exactly what I look to capture. I believe in working on the child's schedule, not mine.

Las Vegas Photography - Family & Children's Portraits

And children have the most amazing eyes. So while I’m huge on capturing a child in his or her natural environment, I also love beautiful face shots. Focusing in on the eyes... my goal is to capture images that brings back memories and gives mom something special… something she simply can never take off of her wall.

Sometimes... it's difficult to express feelings about the arrival of a new addition to their family. Especially When it's your first. Sometimes there are overwhelming thoughts of caring for a helpless newborn, worries about the ability to be a good parents, excitement by the prospect of having a son or daughter to carry on the family name, or simply very eager to introduce the little one to all their family and friends. Yesenia & Tony, thank you for the privilege you've given me to photograph this day in your baby's life.

George Butler a phenomenal local D.J. contacted me needing head shots and a green screen. One of the cool things about our studio, is the park... located just outside of the back door. So, in a session we can go from indoor (completely controlled) studio session to a natural outdoors session by just stepping out of a door. Also with the green-screen we can create for you any background that your heart desires. I've left a few images in green screen , changed a couple of backgrounds and have some in the natural environment in this posting. Hope you enjoy! :-)

Baby portraits taken in his home. It's amazing how with a little imagination any home can have a studio feeling to it. Using an open window, a reflector and the family's environment produced Jameson's first baby portraits. But what's most important about any portrait is capturing the feelings of the people in the portraits. My hope is that these images are as emotional to you... as they are to Jameson parents.

Jacob & Caleb - Brothers

If there were ever a time to dare and to make a difference… it is now, for that something that tugs at your heart. That something that is your aspiration and your dream. You'll learn that things worth doing, seldom come easy. And there will be times when you want to turn around, pack it up and call it quits. Those are times you push yourself, persist and trust. Never be afraid to learn by trying. Take care of your brother and make your days count. Have fun. Dig deep. Stretch. Dream big! There is only one you and you will pass this way but once.

Katie came along while photographing her brother's senior portraits. So, given the opportunity, I am passionately compelled to continue photographing. Camera shy is one thing that she's not. When you are young and care free, the world is your stage and life is an adventure.Thanks Katie, for being so much fun to work with and for being such a wonderful model!

Las Vegas Photography - 2011 Senior Portraits - Alysen

2011-02-14T12:44:00.000-08:00

It was only four years ago that I was privileged to create a family portrait for Mitch and Chris Hess. Alysen at the time was in her final year of middle school...but look at her now. It is both one of the happiest of life's adventure, watching you children grow into adulthood; and saddening that they are no longer the babies and children who run to us demanding all of our attention ...which we joyfully give. For her final year of high school we wish Alysen, the brightest future ever!
