Olivia {Las Vegas Newborn Photographer}

Olivia was the first of three births I attended in August. Interestingly, each was born on a Friday! Olivia was 2.5 weeks old at the time of her session and is already a daddy's girl!

8 pounds of lovely-ness!

This darling ballerina piggy bank was a shower gift.

Olivia's great-granddad's ring, who she is named after.



I think this one might be my favorite :)
April & Jaret painted this beautiful mural by hand. It matches the bedspread perfectly and it's just gorgeous!

Liam {Las Vegas Family Photographer}

You know, portraits are a lot of work for moms. We stress about things like clothes, shoes, hair, make-up, a clean house or the perfect location, and mostly that we'll have happy, co-operative family members. And then.... the baby chooses to fight his naps on the day of the portrait session, the kids fall asleep in the car on the way to the location, little brother got a goose egg a few days before and now it's a lovely green bruise on his forehead, someone spilled on their shirt or forgot an important accessory, etc, etc. In spite of all the careful planning and preparation, stuff like this happens all the time!! Honestly, I've had many moms look at me at the end of the session and say "Well, I hope you got something." Rest assured mamas, yes I got something!!

Little Liam was one who was off his nap schedule the day of his session. After a few minutes of waking up, we hit it off just fine! Say hello to this darling face!!!

Miss Danika

Miss Danika came to see me for her 9 months session and she brought with her her great-grandmother's necklace, whom she is named after! I love the ways people find to really personalize their portraits!!

Little Moments at Home

Have you ever just watched, I mean really watched, a kiddo's face as he's telling you a story or playing with his favorite toy, or smiling at his mama? I am amazed everytime I stop and take the time to watch. Kids are sooooo cool and do the funniest, cutest, smartest things.

Love it!

Things that I Love....

Newborns. Black & white. Tiny feet. Funny story about this above image here: Andrew was so nervous about holding the baby without a diaper on. As soon as I said we were done with this pose, he passed her off to Amy, insisting he didn't want to get peed on (or worse). So then we did some shots of Amy and sure enough, we had a mess to clean up. A poo mess. Luckily, not on Amy's shirt, though. We did some cleaning and kept right on shooting! Amy is a photographer as well. It's so flattering to be hired by another photographer!!

By request, the scale travels. (Certain restrictions apply!)

Poor Mylar.... not the only baby in the house anymore.... :)
