Las Vegas Family Photography | Huynh Family at Madeira Canyon Park

A few weeks ago I went to the park near my house with the Huynh family to take some family photos.  Vonny had just had baby Maia 3 weeks before so she wanted some photos of her before she started growing too much!  The whole family came along as well for some fun in the park.  It was a beautiful day, one of those last warm days in Las Vegas. Vonny and Tison have 3 kids; big brother Jayden, little brother Jaxson, and baby sister Maia!  Sounds like a handful doesn't it?  I was amazed at how well behaved Jaxson and Jayden were.  Here are some of my favorites from their session!

Vonny and Maia :)

Jayden being very serious for how much he smiles!

Here's Tison helping Jaxson hang on some branches

Doing it all by himself!  And one of the whole family.

This is such a sweet one of all 3 kids!  I love how gentle the boys were around Maia.

I love the smirk on Maia's face!

What's cuter than baby feet???  The answer is:  NOTHING is cuter than baby feet!

The whole family again!

It was a great day in the park with the Huynh's!

Las Vegas Family Photographer | Barrette Kids

Hey Everyone! This blog is near and dear to my heart as the subjects are all my (soon-to-officially-be) Nephews and Niece!  Eric and I were recently in Wisconsin for a few days and while we were there, we made a day trip down to Illinois to see his Sister, Brother-in-law, and their 4 kids.  All between the ages of 3 months and 6 years old!  Three month old Geneva is our only Niece out of the bunch, I guess the 4th time was the charm ;) Needless to say, they have their hands full and I was seriously exhausted after spending one day with this crew.

We arrived at their house around Noon, just in time for the two older boys to get home from school.  We all had lunch and soon after the boys needed to burn off some energy so we went to the park which is literally in their back yard!  I basically followed them all around with my camera and mostly got shots of the kids playing.  We were able to get just a couple of "posed" photos and I use the term "posed" loosely for reasons, well... you'll see!  Here are a few of my favorites from the bunch!

John climbing on the equipment.  This won't be the last time you see him climbing in this blog!

Leo speeding down the slide.

Adam just smiling :)

Here are all three of the boys in the best pose we had all day!

Baby Geneva asleep on her Mom :)

Leo did NOT like his photo taken and he made it pretty clear to me... but he can't help but show his excitement while on a swing!

Here's what I mean about trying to pose these guys!  "Leo being Leo" is what I like to call this one.

John seriously has some climbing skills.  He's so good at it and his concentration while doing it is actually really impressive for a 6 year old!

Adam's chunky swinging legs!

I had to start sneaking up on Leo to get photos of him.  Here's one of my favorite sneaky ones :)

And for the finale, we've got the whole crew together!  Although not really concerned about smiling for the photo... I still like this one a lot.

These guys are a lot of fun and I love them but I think we'll be holding off on having kids for a while...  Or maybe just hope for girls ;)

Las Vegas Photography | Justine's Poolside Bachelorette Party

Hey Everyone! Soon after I had my first Bachelorette Party in the books, I had another one scheduled!  Justine also purchased a Groupon and used it for her poolside Bachelorette Party.  Her and her friends got a Cabana at the Treasure Island pool for the day and I met them a little later in the afternoon for some fun photos.  And "fun" isn't quite the word I'd use... what's another word for "super fun" or "extremely fun"?  I can't really think of one, but that would better describe this group of girls!  I think the mood was set with their Old-School colorful and flowered swim caps!  They were so cool and caught the attention of everyone around.  I even saw some people walking by taking photos/videos with their phones of this group!

When I walked up to the cabana to meet Justine and her friends, the first thing I saw was this banner, and I knew it was going to be a fun photo shoot :)

Yeah, you read that right!  Here's a closeup just to make sure...

The beautiful bride-to-be, Justine.

Here's the whole group in their awesome swim caps!

Courtney, Justine, and Joanna sassing it up for my camera :)

CANNONBALL!!!!!!!

Just a shot of these totally rad swim caps.

These girls were just too much fun!

Justine and her beautiful Mother, Rose.

I just love this photo of Justine on the pool ladder!

And to end this blog, I'll post this awesome splash photo for the finale!!

So far I'm 2 for 2 on having SUPER fun Bachelorette parties to photograph!  I may just put these parties on my menu of services to offer.  What do you think?

Keep an eye out in the next month or so for some engagement photos with Justine and her Fiance!

Here is a link to the entire album of this super fun poolside party.
