Before They Were Even Coloring In The Lines.

Kyle and Teddi were finally able to do their engagement shoot since the weather has decided to stop melting faces off. We have been talking for a few months about what they wanted to do, and we decided to trek out to Nelson to do their shoot. I must say, it is great to see people so young, so in love. They had the usually starting moment during a shoot of not knowing what to do with their hands, but they shook it off and we were able to get these beautiful shots. But out of all of them, my favorite is the last one. Teddi sent me a photo of the two of them in kindergarden with something along the lines of the lovely construction paper masterpieces like you see on them now, and wanted to recreate the shot. You see, these kids have known each other since they were tiny kids. But even now, the both of them had no problem recreating their cheesy grins from that original photo. Im so happy we got to do these, and I cant wait to shoot their wedding. Enjoy.

Put Your Boots On, We Are Getting Hitched.

Sometimes you dont really realize how small the town you live in is, until you get older. While I am a thorough grown Henderson gal, it comes with the territory that you often run into people from Boulder City. Now if you know one person from Boulder City, you can bet that you will run into most all the people from Boulder City. A small town where everyone knows everyone, but its the best kind of town when your business runs on word of mouth. This is where it gets fun! My best friend Tenaya's, co-workers, brother needed a photographer for their wedding before they moved away for his career in the military. Austins now sister-in-law let me know they needed a photographer and I was lucky enough to get the gig. Austin and Carly looked so happy all evening, and I was happy to capture their moments for them. Carly was dolled up in her wedding gown and cowboy boots, and Austin was dappered up in his tuxedo. There were sunflowers, endless laughter, loving family, and crazy friends cracking jokes all night. I wish them both the best as they brave the humidity of Georgia for Austins job, and thank them for the chance to stop time for their wedding night. Congrats! Enjoy.

Young and In Love.

Carly and Austin are getting married next weekend before they move to Georgia for Austin's military position. Proving everyday that Henderson is a city that is getting smaller and smaller, Carly was referred to me by two separate people who know me directly or through another friend. We have been talking back and forth for a couple weeks to plan out their photos, and I must say that they came out awesome! We ventured out to the Wetlands for a perfect shooting day with the overcast weather. Although my native Nevada climate is not as sticky and humid, we worked through the shoot without dying from too much moisture. But Mother Nature is just prepping this lovely couple for some real humidity livin' in Georgia. I cant wait to take their wedding photos and capture even more fun moments of playful banter with this couple, about who is the least bossy. One week left before the big day! Enjoy.

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.
