{bff} Best Friend Session

I had the pleasure of hanging out with these two beautiful models for a best friend session (the blondie is my gorgeous daughter).  It was fun putting the "vision" together with summer dresses, flower crowns & the desert backdrop.  A modern twist on the 70's flower child.  I love everything about these pictures. 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

{class of 2014} Senior Session

I had fun evening last weekend with this guy around downtown Las Vegas.  Senior sessions are always so easy!  One of my favorite ages to photograph.  Thanks for going with my "vision" on the downtown session! I love how they turned out AND his serious look is perfect for our urban backdrop.

 

 

 

 

 

 

{class of 2013} senior session



I'm finally getting around to posting senior pics of my very own not-so-little little brother.  He's officially graduated! I had a great time making fun of him and laughing through the session.  Apparently the trick to getting real smiles out of boys is to give them a hard time and make them laugh.  OR take them to play their favorite sport..... :)

 

 

 

{class of 2014} beautiful senior session

Spent some time with this gorgeous senior last week.  I had the pleasure of photographing her family a few years ago.  I can't believe she's already graduating!  Thanks for the fun night Miss V & for worrying about awkward hands as much as me! ;)

 

 

 

{UNR Class of 2013} Gorgeous College Sr. Photo Shoot

My first-ever COLLEGE SENIOR photo shoot. Man has this gorgeous girl set the bar high! I'll forgive her for going to UNR because we had so much fun on our shoot a few nights ago.  (UNLV 4 LIFE! Lol!) Congrats girly! You have some tough pic choices to make for your announcements...

 

 

C'mon, right!!?!  Everything about this picture is PERFECTION! I love her "serious face"!!

 

If you want her to laugh, just say "ok now, serious face!" :)

 

 

 

 

 

{desert} Tayler

Yesterday I shot my beautiful daughter in the dry, dusty Las Vegas desert. We had a fun time using her gorgeous homecoming dress again! *Selling points for daughters to use on their Mom regarding expensive homecoming dresses: "But MOM, I can wear it again in my Senior Photo Shoot! I HAVE TO HAVE IT!!" Sold! :) It was a great overcast morning and not insanely hot.....until about 30 minutes into the shoot. We were battling intense sunshine, watery, squinty eyes, a bug falling into her shirt (& meeting it's demise), and I was covered from head to toe in dirt. But get a load of the pictures we got!!

It's the craziest thing! You say "Be serious. Don't smile." and it makes her crack up almost every time!!
