Baby Talia

I first shot Valerie and David’s maternity 5 weeks ago where we had a blast out at the dry lake bed!

Valerie and David wanted the sex of the baby to be a surprise, so it was very exciting to find out that they had a beautiful baby girl! Her name is Talia, which means “Heaven’s Dew”. It was great meeting her for the first time and she was so good throughout the entire shoot. Here’s little Talia at just under 3 weeks old -

Summer + Josh

I had a great time hitting up the Boneyard last week with Summer and Josh! It was fun shooting there again – this time seeing the other side of the location. Summer looked stunning… and her and Josh totally rocked this shoot!!

Congrats again to the newlyweds!! Enjoy the photos guys. :)

Summer and Josh’s married last name begins with an H, so we thought this spot with all the worn down H’s was pretty cool…

Pictage Partner Conference Rocked!

As always, Pictage threw an awesome event! There was so many great and inspiring speakers this year.

For those weren’t able to make it out, we already have some plans in the works to have Mike Larson come speak at our Vegas PUG! And I also spoke with Justin & Mary Marantz about coming out in February. By the way, these two were INCREDIBLE! I can’t say enough positive things about their class “Creating Loyalty Beyond Reason.”

I had a blast at Pictage’s pool party on Tuesday night! It was great hanging out with everyone and making lots of new friends! My favorite part of these events is being amongst the amazing community of friendly, fun-lovin’ photographers. Some great times getting drinks, catching up, and avoiding the “crazy guy” with Michelle and Annie, Mark Sweeney, Leanne and Brenda, Gene Higa, Gustavo, David Esquire, Mike Steelman, Mike Colón and Sarah France.

Big thanks to my girl Michelle for sending some photos my way for the blog!

Engagement on Ice!

It’s 1am and I’m getting ready to head out to LA for PartnerCon in a couple hours…
But I couldn’t leave without getting a few shots up from Johnnie and Angela’s awesome engagement session last week. I love these two! They are spunky, fun, and so in love, which of course makes them such a joy to be around. It was great being able to chit-chat and get to know each other during the drive and our fun ice skating session!

Can’t wait until the wedding in December!!

Brothers

It was so great working with Stephanie and Matt’s three beautiful boys. Kaleb is the oldest who loved being in front of my camera as much as I loved photographing him, Seth is the spunky middle child, and Michael is the newest adorable addition to the family. There was so many great photos that it was hard to choose favorites. But I believe these say it all…
