Twins Plus One Edition:

Awwww, how I love twins (of course, I’m completely biased since I have my own set). =) I am quite sure these two cuties give their Mama a run for her money!!!

With another boy on the way and Mama is completely outnumbered!!!

Thank you so much M family for a wonderful afternoon!!!

There aren’t too many things I miss about Las Vegas, but Little G is definitely one of them! She is so sweet, smiley, and gorgeous! Not too long ago she was just this tiny little honey pot.

And then she was this pretty in pink honey pot.

And now she is this big, happy honey pot.

Mama brought the cutest outfits and props. The fun picnic and vintage books makes my heart smile!

I have known Mama J for about 15 years now (holy crap J, that is a long time!!!). Looking at these photos is making me laugh, Little G looks exactly like her Mama!!!

Thank you so much J for another fabulous session. I LOVE Baby G and miss you guys!!

When I last photographed these little cuties it was FREEZING out. We were all shivering and shaking. This session, not so much shivering as sweating!!! It was 112+ out at Lakes Las Vegas and oh my heavens, despite the heat these girls did awesome!!!

Getting family photos taken can feel like a stressful affair. I really try to make each session stress free, fun, and full of laughs. I act silly, make funny faces, and generally make a fool out of myself, but hey! Anything for real smiles. Speaking of funny faces……….

Sometimes you got to let a little of the crazy out to get those real, beautiful smiles.

Let’s not forget big Sister C. Isn’t she a cutie!! As I was editing her photos I noticed the beautiful and unique color of her eyes. A little turquoise mixed with gold flex. Stunning!!!

There is nothing more special than sibling love. It just warms my heart to see this.

Thank you so much K family for another wonderful session. Next year we’ll plan it so we’re not freezing or sweating!!

Bees Edition:

I don’t particularly care for bugs, bees, or any other buggie creature, but it sure is interesting to watch the bees pollinate flowers. After reading Douglas Coupland’s Generation A I have a new respect for the bee life. And for the record let me just say it is harder than it looks to get a photo of an in flight bee. I had to get way to close for comfort for that one. =)

Las Vegas Fun in the Sun {Bend, Oregon Engagement Photography}

A little too much sun since it was like 110 degrees out. This was the first of many sessions I had in Las Vegas last weekend, and what an awesome way to start my weekend. Meet Kyra and Jason, soon to be married in the Caribbean…FUN!!

Not only are they gorgeous, but super sweet and fun. I had a blast shooting their engagement photos.

The sun peeked out from the clouds for all of 5 minutes so I quickly caught some fun sun before it disappeared again.

And to top off the wonderful session a refreshing glass of beer (or in my case vodka). =) Jason comes from a long line of wine makers and Kyra works in the wine/beer industry so I thought it appropriate to photograph one of the passions that they share.
