> Las Vegas Strip Portrait Photography

Jackson, Andre and I have been trying to get together for photos for so long!  We were finally able to meet up last weekend and it was so great to meet this couple.  Jackson and Andre have been together for 12 years and married for about 5.  Both are Las Vegas locals, and Jackson was born and raised here!  I love meeting Las Vegas natives because I don't come across many here and I like to hear why they love living here, just like I do.

Jackson is in Real Estate and Andre is a videographer who does work on videos for Jay-Z's YouTube channel!  So cool, right?!  I couldn't have asked for a nicer couple to spend some time with and photograph last weekend.   Here are some of my favorites from our session on the Las Vegas Strip! Thanks for reading!

> Las Vegas Wedding Photography

Nicola and Thomas came to Las Vegas from London last weekend to get married!  As if that's not exciting enough... they didn't tell anyone else about it!!!  They've been together for many years and have been engaged for about a year.  When wedding planning was becoming too complicated and frustrating, they said - "Let's just go do it in Vegas!" and started making plans in secret for their nuptials.  I'm crossing my fingers that it's safe to post this by now and that they've told everyone! They went to the Graceland Chapel for their ceremony and then met me for a quick photo session right after.  We first met in the Las Vegas Arts District.  I LOVE this location for photos because there are so many great graffiti walls everywhere, and it's usually pretty deserted so we had the area all to ourselves.

To switch it up a little bit, we then headed to Old Las Vegas for some photos under the Las Vegas lights at twilight.  Nicola and Thomas were greeted with cheers and congratulations while we made our way through the crowd!  I love some of the photos of their reactions to what people were saying to them along the way!

Here are some of my favorites from our time together on their wedding day!

Congratulations Nicola and Thomas!  It was a serious pleasure meeting you both and I wish you nothing but joy and happiness in your life together!

> Las Vegas Newborn Photography

On 10.10.10, I photographed Kristen and Ivan's wedding at their house in Henderson.  Two and a half years later, I had the pleasure of photographing their 3 week old Daughter in that same location!  Little Annabel Laura is such a sweet, happy, and gorgeous baby.  Kristen and Ivan are first time parents, but you would never know it.  They seemed to have things pretty figured out so far and just kind of rolled with the punches.  They really helped each other out and had each others backs when it was time for feeding, changing, or even cleaning "something" up.  It was really great to see and makes me hope it really is as easy as they made it look! Here are some of my favorites from Annabel's Newborn session!

Congrats Kristen and Ivan!
