Las Vegas Engagement Photography | Red Rock Canyon | Danielle & Joe

Two weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing someone I went to High School with in Wisconsin!  Danielle was a year ahead of me at Beaver Dam High School in the early 2000's and long story short, her family is good friends with my boyfriends family and that's how we connected.  Well now, 9 years later, Danielle is marrying Joe.  They met in college in Green Bay, WI and will be getting married in Las Vegas in April this year! They came to Vegas to check out venues for the wedding 2 weeks ago and while they were here, they snuck in an engagement session with me at Red Rock Canyon.  Here are a few of the photos from the day:

Danielle and Joe are two great people and I hope their wedding day is fabulous!

Las Vegas Wedding Photography | Kristen & Ivan 10-10-10 Part 2

It turned out that Kristen and Ivan liked the vintage editing so here are a few example of some of their photos with a more "vintagey" feel! Kristen and Ivan with Kristen's parents from South Dakota.  (I'm from Wisconsin so I always love meeting a fellow mid-westerner!)

The park near their house, turned out to be a perfect spot for taking photos.  It provided almost an arched walkway for the bride and groom.

Kristen and her bridesmaids were a lot of fun.  They were ready to celebrate "Team Kristen and Ivan"!!!

After the park, we headed back to their house for the ceremony.  Some makeup touchups and Kristen lowered her vail to head down to marry her future husband!

First married couple KISS!!!!!!!

After the ceremony, we headed up to some foothills leading to the mountains near their house.  Luckily they had a friend with an off-road vehicle to get there because I know my car could NOT have made that drive.  We arrived just in time for some sunset photos.

It was so great to be a part of their wedding day and I wish these two great people nothing but the very best in the rest of their lives together.  Oh, and by the way, Kristen, my mom thinks you should be a model! ;)

If you would like to see the rest of their wedding album you can see it here.

Las Vegas Maternity Photography | Shannon

One of my good friends Shannon is about ready to give birth to a beautiful.... SURPRISE!  Her and Dan, her husband decided not to find out the sex of the baby which I think is soooo cool!  I'm so excited to find out if the baby will be a boy or a girl that I have no idea how Shannon and Dan were able to hold out so long! These photos were taken when Shannon was a little more than 8 months pregnant.  It was my first run at maternity photos, and I love working on them because I feel like she was just glowing and it's really apparent to me in these pictures!  Do you agree?

Shannon is due is about 2 weeks and I can't wait to meet her little one!  I'm sure there will be some baby photos to follow:)
