Vroom Vroom.

So for the people who live in Vegas, you know how the weather has been this week. Its like Vegas doesnt even know who it is anymore. Rain has been hanging around for the last few days, and even though people around here dont know how to handle the sky falling, it brings some seriously beautiful weather. My friend Ryan has been wanting to do some new pictures of his sweet CRX that he completely rebuilt because he has been getting new sponsors for racing. We had some other ideas, but they arent quite ready to be posted. That didnt stop us from getting some super sweet shots. Ryans roommate, Kevin, was able to be convinced to let me take some shots of his car as well. It was a real struggle to get him to say yes, and by that I mean he was cheesin' from ear to ear when I said of course he would be welcome to join in. He even snuck in a few hundred selfies in the mean time. ;P Until we get the rest of the shots ready, here are some to keep you hungry for more. Enjoy.

This Was A Group Effort.

I know, I know. It has been a while since I have posted anything. But I decided to take some time off after graduation to have time to myself. But! Jessica here is about to pop, and I begged her all semester to let me take maternity photos of her to add to my portfolio. We worked together on some ideas, but she decided that she wanted to do the shoot at the Wetlands, and I am so happy with the results.
Jessica, thank you for taking the time to let me do these shots. I am glad that we crossed paths in school because you are a big thing that kept me motivated to keep going in school. I know that there were times you wanted to kill me, but we were a great team. You are an awesome friend and I know that I am sometimes a little drama filled, but the fact that you havent killed me yet is a good sign. I think that you and Nick are going to be great parents to Jaxson. It is so nice to see the genuine love that you two have for each other. Just so you have fair warning, I will be bugging you for newborn photos as well. Be prepared. But until then. Enjoy.

They Had That Spark.

I had the wonderful opportunity to shoot my friends Frank and Ana's wedding last weekend. It was the largest wedding I have ever shot, and it was an amazing experience. Ana and Frank are young, and so in love. I loved being able to capture their moments together on their wedding day. Every time I snapped a picture of them, they both had ear to ear smiles and looked so incredibly happy. Ana and Frank, thank you for letting me be your photographer. You two are so perfect for each other and I wish you many happy years to come. Congrats! Enjoy.

Round Two.

Baby Grayson is about to make his debut and I was lucky to have the opportunity to shoot Krista and Jared for the maternity pictures. Ray was a little spitfire, but any time baby Grayson was mentioned, she was all about what was going on. It took some gummy bear bribing, but all in all she was a great sport. The wait has begun for Grayson's arrival. Stay tuned. Enjoy.

Coming To An End.

I know that it has been a while since I have posted anything. I am in my FINAL semester of school, and things have just been crazy trying to get everything done. But, with graduation right around the corner, final portfolios are coming up and I have started working on mine. Im taking a large format photography class, which is a film class, and it has been putting me through my paces. As always though, I am learning more about photography than I ever thought that I would know, and it reminds me why I even pick up my camera. These are the first two shots I have done for my film class final, and I am in love. Joe and Sarah were the first two models I had sit for me, so that I could use them as test rats for the ideas I had for this. They were good sports as always and once again have given me great images to add to my portfolio. Thank you, Joe and Sarah, for getting ready at the last minute for me. Your guys' willingness to be ready at a moments notice is the reason that I am able to have shots like these.
I started school in 2009 with nothing more than my DSLR and the drive to learn more about my craft. I cant tell you how many times school has made me laugh, cry, scream, or drove me absolutely crazy. Even with all of the issues that I have had over the last five years, nothing has changed the fact that I love what I do. When I walk across that stage in May and am handed that simple piece of paper that will justify all the blood, sweat, and tears into all of this, it will make everything more than worth it. I cant wait to finish my college career and have many doors open to me for my photography. Looking at my entire portfolio to see everything I have shot since the start, is a humbling experience. You dont really know how far you have come until you see where you started, and I have come so far since I started this crazy adventure.
There will be more to come before the semester ends. I cant wait for all of you to see the rest. Thank you for following, liking, sharing, and creeping on the images I have put on here. You all are the reason my shutter keeps clicking. Enjoy.

Older and Wiser.

It has been a hot minute since I have posted anything. School has been taking up most of my time this semester with my film class, so I havent been able to shoot much digital stuff. However, my most adorable nephew Grayson turned one in February and I had the chance to have a shoot with him for it. He is growing up into such an adorable little boy. He is full of giggles, smiles, and of course more cute than any kid should be allowed to have. These are just a few of the shots that I got, but I am more than happy with what a great model he was. This little boy is going to be a gentleman, but he will certainly be a heartbreaker too. Enjoy.
