W family- Las Vegas family photographer

Children do not always want to look right into the camera and pose for shots, and that is understandable with little ones, and just fine by me...Because then there's a chance to capture candid photos, which I love. These are a few from a recent family session. Sometimes when they're not even trying to take the perfect picture, they give you the perfect picture.

Las Vegas family photographer- W Family preview

We met downtown for this family's session. My usual shooting spots are all under construction so I had to think fast and reroute us. We ended up at my old high school and the Arts District. It made for some great shots. These kids were silly and totally happy to have their pictures taken. Not to mention their gorgeous little faces. Can't ask for more than that.

Las Vegas newborn photographer

A few shots from a recent newborn shoot. This baby girl put up a little fight but once she got sleepy, we got right to work. Working with a newborn baby made my impending arrival all the more real. They are so tiny and temperamental. You forget that between babies, apparently. I've booked a few sessions recently and have tons of images to come..

Growing up- Las Vegas family and child photographer

Turning into a young man before my eyes. Love this kid.

Senior pictures- Las Vegas Senior photographer

These are some shots from a Senior photo session I did a few weeks ago. I love that the photos above, in particular, show the dueling sides of teenagers. One side of a 17 year old is cool and maybe a bit tough, the other side is just straight up silly.

This session was at Lake Las Vegas and the late evening sun was awesome. The live jazz band playing nearby didn't hurt either.

Little lady- Las Vegas child photographer

This is my second time photographing this little lady. I love to see how much babies change within just a few months. At 6 months old, Ryen has a lot of personality and energy. She was really fun on this early morning shoot.

This chair belonged to little Ryen's mom, and she took photos in it as a child. What a sweet thing to pass on to your daughter.

8 is great- Las Vegas child photographer

With sweet Presley turning 8, she will be getting baptized soon. What a great reason to get some pictures taken. I have a slew of pictures of her, but will just share one for now.

This beautiful family has some secretly silly kids who wouldn't laugh or crack one for me but turned the smiles on as soon as Mom and Dad started riling them up.



Even though the purpose of this shoot was mainly to get pictures of Presley, we threw the other kids in front of the camera too and I am so happy we did. Truly, candid shots like most of these are what I love most about doing photography for other people. Catching those little seconds of a laugh or a kiss...

Love thy neighbor- Las Vegas child and family photographer

Years ago, we lived in a little house on Swan Lane. It was a great house, in a great community, with a great next door neighbor. We miss living next door to this guy. When he contacted me to get some photos of his family, I jumped at the chance. As you can see, he's a lucky man with 2 beautiful girls in his life.

practice makes perfect- Las Vegas child photographer

I've found some great desert spots not far from my home where this guy and I did some shooting today. It was a little cold to be out having your picture taken so we only lasted about 3 minutes. A solid 3 minutes, if you ask me.

Baby T- Las Vegas newborn photographer

This baby boy deserves an award. He was OUT like a light for over an hour while I snapped his picture. And he is a gorgeous little guy. This is what I call a dream client.

I'm only about half way done editing his batch of photos, but I had to share a couple.

Baby M- Las Vegas newborn photographer

These are a few shots I wanted to share as I'm editing some recent newborn shoots I've done. Photographing new babies can be a lot of work if they aren't cooperative or comfortable. But the results can be very rewarding, even when the babes refuse to close their eyes and relax.

Everytime I book a shoot with children, I am always really excited and also really anxious to see how it will go. Children can be unpredictable, especially when there's a camera pointed at them and people telling them to smile, sit still, look over here! I love photographing children though, and this family's session is a good example of why. These kids were patient and happy, even when the sun started to set and it was suddenly freezing outside. This is a small sample of the sweet pictures I was able to get. Doesn't hurt that they are a gorgeous family. We met at the Springs Preserve to romp around the gardens and snap some pictures for baby boy's upcoming 1st birthday. Allow me to introduce the birthday boy...
