Elder Lords

Here is Elder Adam Lords. He is great guy and it was fun to take his portraits for him. He is leaving in a few weeks for a Latter-day Saint Mission to Hawaii. Sounds like a sweet deal. :) Here are the rest.

Caitlin Senior Pictures

Here is my last senior portrait session of the season. (I think:) Caitlin attends my church and is just darling. She was one of those who couldnt handle a serious face, it just made her giggle. Although we did get a couple serious ones, but I prefer her gorgeous smile! I love Caitlin and she was great to work with. We shot these at Town Square Mall and almost won $25,000 at CPK. So close. The rest are here.

Mommy and ME!

We had a great time on Saturday at the Mommy and ME event, thank you to all of you who came out to support me in that. It was great to work with you and your darling children. I am toying with the idea of doing a Daddy and ME event for Fathers day. Any interest? Here are a couple of my favorites, and the rest.

Leah's Senior Pictures

Here is darling Leah Bertoldo. Her family are loyal clients, I have shot their family pictures several times before, so as always it was a delight to be with Heather and Leah again. We shot these at Town Square Mall and had a great time. Leah has the most beautiful hair, I felt like I was shooting a Pantene commercial. :) Enjoy, the rest are here.

Springs Preserve

My husband was off of school, so we took a day and went out to the Springs Preserve. It is a really cool park/museum/agricultural place here in Vegas run by the water district. We had a good time and I took some pictures of the plants there. Here is my favorite of a cactus. IF you want to see a really awesome website in my opinion check theirs out. The other couple I took are here.

Alex's Senior Pictures

Alex was a delight to work with. I have been swamped with senior pictures and every time I go out with these seniors I just think they are such amazing beautiful wonderful people. It gives me confidence for the future. Alex was no different. We went to Town Square, she is gorgeous and has gorgeous eyes, it was fabulous. My three favorites and the rest.

Mommy and Me!

This Saturday I am hosting a Mommy and Me event at my studio (house) in honor of Mother's Day. Between 10 am and 2 pm anyone can come and get a quick portrait done with their mother. Each portrait will only have two people in it, but if you have lots of kids (or lots of mom's :), you can have one with each. It is an open house event so grab your children, grab your mom, have your mom grab your grandma and swing by on Saturday between 10 and 2. There will be no sitting fees for this event, all the pictures will be posted online and then you can order what you like. Come one come all for some fun with mothers! Here are a few I have done already so you can get an idea of what the posing/cropping will be. Tell your friends and neighbors! See you Saturday!

The last three weeks...

I am just going to do a catch up post to cover everything that I have been doing in the last three weeks. Pre - Everyday in May was great because I was so busy shooting I didnt have a lot of time for interneting, that is the way I like it! And as you can probably tell now that it is Everyday in May I have had trouble keeping up as well. I am hoping to get caught up this week though. I know you all wait with baited breath to see what I shoot each week (sarcasm) so hopefully you havent felt too left out. This is a monster of a post so kudos to you if you make it all the way through, you must really love me.

Well starting on April 19th I got to do some fabulous family portraits/engagement pictures. My fabulous friend Abby (who was also my church youth leader when I was growing up) lost her husband Barry to cancer about two years ago. She has five wonderful children and she is very dear to my heart! I was so excited to hear that she has found love again with the amazing Mike Armstrong! Mike also has five children, so I got to spend some time with them and their soon to be ten children! Because Mike and Abby are about the same age all their children are also about the same age, it is kindhttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gifa like having five sets of twins! Here are a few of my favorites and are the rest. I loved being with you guys and CONGRATULATIONS!

Literally right after I shot their pictures my family and I headed down to California. My husband's brother lives down there so we visited them and checked out where we might be moving to come summer 2009 (San Diego). While I was there I took some fun pictures of my little nephews Ethan and Luke blowing bubbles. They are gorgeous children so I had a great time photographing them and also doing a self portrait. I am a cheese. :)




At the end of the week, I did family pictures for my sister-in-laws family. They all live there in Southern California and since we are especially close with Steve and Camilla (my husband's brother and wife) we have also become close with Camilla's entire family. First I shot a whole series of family pictures for Camilla's sister. I love you Johnsons! They have two adorable little girls. Amerie is the baby and was just happy as can be the entire time. Ellie, their oldest is an adorable spitfire, and was actually feeling a little sick that day, but was still gorgeous. She is totally into the growling phase of smiling. I love kids! Click here for the rest.






Next we did the entire family down on the beach which was great fun and convinced me (again) that I should live in Southern California. It is so gorgeous and being a photographer I just love shooting down there. Dont worry I still love Vegas too! Here are a few of my favorites from the Powers shoot. Here are the rest!



And I just had to include this picture of my darling niece Ella. I shot this a couple weeks ago, and I just love her eyes. They just make me want to sing Brown Eyed Girl. Of course I am not at all partial having brown eyes myself.

If you made it to the end of this post congratulations! You are the coolest. Maybe if you leave a comment AND email me you will get a special surprise in your email box. You have to do both. I would love to get more comments on this blog so if you ever have anything to say just say it. I love feedback!

May 1st - Jana

This is actually my creation for Every Day in May for yesterday, but yeah I didnt get it posted last night. I obviously work in a creative field, so some days my artistic expression will be what I did for work that day. May Day was one of those occasions. I got to shoot beautiful Jana's senior pictures yesterday at Town Square Mall. Have I mentioned it is my new favorite place to shoot? I always have a blast there. If you always read this blog, you might get tired of hearing that though. I have not yet processed all her pictures, but here is a sneak peak at what is to come.
