Aiden's 1st Birthday

2011-11-30T15:00:00.000-08:00

November 30th, 2011 was the last gorgeous day here in Las Vegas. The day after was a complete windy & cold mess so we were thankful for the bright sun setting just perfect.

Aiden was so sweet & calm especially after my lovely daughter took his birthday balloons! Note to self: Do not bring 3 yr old to the photo shoot especially with balloons present!

Aiden was a very good at squirming his way through the shoot.

Aiden's Mommy & Daddy glowed as a loving couple. The three of them were a pleasure to work with once again.

Nice to meet you lil Aiden!

See you on your 2nd birthday!!

Jack's Christmas Portrait

2011-11-29T16:00:00.000-08:00

I've been working with Jack since he was a little guy and he's still my lil pro!

His Mom wanted the "nature" feel for his Christmas portrait which was not too hard to do with the clear skies here in Vegas, so the lakes near my house is always the perfect spot.

We love you Jack and we will plan more shoots with you in the Spring time!

"Bridal Couture Fashion Shoot" The Stirling Club Las Vegas

2011-10-17T10:00:00.000-07:00

When I created a Bridal Fashion Shoot in my head, I never imagined how beautiful it would be. The fantastic crew at "The Stirling Club," http://www.stirlingclublv.com/ were more than happy to host our "Bridal Couture" Fashion Shoot and it went off without a hitch!

Not only where the models gorgeous but absolutely cool as cucumbers and beyond professional. Everyone was on time around 6:30am, perky and ready to rock it!

The "Hair and Make-Up" team consisted of two ladies who loved a challenge!

Erin Utter who is a master in her make-up, and Julia Marie Vasquez who's passion for makeup and hair is undeniable, were a strong force which kept our gorgeous models on track!

"Twiggy" helped with our "Modern" bride look while we accented her with some funky jewelry that was not overbearing and suited her unique style.

Michelle from Flora Couture by Floral 2000 http://floral2000.com/

Sponsored our bouquets of red roses and of course mango calla lilies!

Holly was a monster at her "blue steel" look.
(I couldn't help myself)
I had her as our "Vintage Bride" as it is my personal favorite bridal style & has been coming back in full force especially here in Las Vegas. She looked amazing in her gown which I discovered at "Bridal Galleria at Tux One," http://www.tuxone.com/

with the help of Nicole who manages their store. She was more than willing to sponsor our event with all of the dresses, veils, and jewelry you see on this article. Also you may have also previewed their collections on TLC's "Happily Ever Faster" & of course our local "Las Vegas Bride Magazine!"

Yes I was once their client and purchased my beautiful "Maggie Sottero" bridal gown from her, http://www.maggiesottero.com/

Is that why you let me take your dresses for a day? No complaints here!

The girls were in bridal bliss!

We savored every minute with the pieces of Bridal Art from "Bridal Galleria at Tux One,"Gratzi!!!

Holly reminds me of an "Academy Award" statue. She is Vintage Hollywood Glamour..

Kristi was such a treat when she jumped in last and was so happy to twirl in her beautiful gown! I had so much fun with her & I absolutely think she would have modeled for the rest of the already long day!!

This dress made quite an entrance and looked absolutely amazing on Kristi....

Catch!!!

Her relaxed look on the leather lounge was timeless.

Bravo Kristi!!

Amanda was a such a beauty & super sweet. She is another talented hairstylist but left us and moved back to Texas!!

Keep up your modeling Miss Texas!!

Twiggy, Holly, Kristi and Amanda-

Thank you for making this shoot possible and lending a hand for any reason at all!! Michi thank you for wardrobe design & keeping everyone excited! Diedra thank you for your assistance on our fabulous day. I hope to be part of more at

"The Stirling Club!"

Thank you for your time & your special talents for this fun-filled project.

Never stop making our weddings magical!!

Kelly & Nigel

2011-09-04T11:00:00.000-07:00

Kelly & Nigel's wedding took place at the beautiful Queensridge here in Las Vegas, NV.

The intimate affair was nothing short of perfect with the beautiful garden and gorgeous bouquets surrounding their private setting.

Kelly was stunning in her gown as well as the one of a kind "something borrowed" cage veil.

She was represented by her beautiful bridesmaids and maid of honor.

Of course when we saw this vintage sofa near the bridal suite,

I knew right away Kelly belonged on it!!

The guests were not shy on this dance floor.

2011-09-03T17:00:00.000-07:00

Heather & Cody Grimes decided to capture their special day on the estate on O'Bannon Drive located in Las Vegas, NV on September 3, 2011.

This was my second wedding at the estate and I could still find something special & whimsical around every corner.

Beautiful but Sassy girls!!!

Heather was an absolute beauty. Her dress was amazing and her color design for the wedding party was so unique.

Sometimes you get an odd pic in photography that actually looks pretty neat.

I love this bride in motion effect...


It was a beautiful setting for the whole party-Now let's party!

What a natural!!


	Unfortunately Grandma Milba was not with us on their fine day, but was with them in Spirit...

Party People!!

Heather & Cody's dance routine was a big hit..

Great job newlyweds!!!

Say Cheese!!

Cheri & Mike

2011-07-23T17:00:00.000-07:00

The Beautiful Bride shining in the mirror...

Cheri & Mike held their special day at "The Four Points Sheraton", http://www.fourpointsnorwood.com/wedding-receptions.html , in Norwood, Massachusetts which held about 150 of their closest friends and family in the exceptional
"Tiffany Grand Ballroom."

Cheri & Mike were so fun to work with, especially with their "Boston Red Sox" theme chiming in everywhere. Cheri looked gorgeous in her gown & the bridal party was a blast.

It was a breath of fresh air to work with friends back in Massachusetts.

Mike waiting for his beautiful bride!

The Father of the Bride photo was a little compromised with another flash so I used it for the photo's advantage by giving it a "vintage" feel to it.

This little angel was such a sweet ham. She partied down more than the adults until the very end. If every 3 year old was this well behaved we would be some lucky Mom's!!

Congrats to Charlotte on being a big sister now!! Many blessings!!

Shara & Robbie

2011-02-19T16:00:00.000-08:00

Shara & Robbie's celebration was perfectly intimate and located on the

"The Golf Club at South Shores," http://www.golfsouthshore.com/home , which was named by Golf Digest as one of the

"Top 10 New Private Golf Courses in America."

As windy as it was in February, we took a quick minute to capture some sunny shots on the golf course until the chill rushed us back in the clubhouse.

This celebration was so touching, especially when the Mother & Father of the Bride & Groom had speeches prepared that brought everyone to happy tears...

Shara's brother Matthew, who is an outstanding talent, provided the entertainment for the wedding with his crew.

There was no doubt I could have listened to them all night.

Shara & Robbie's family were so happy to show everyone their unique love for each other. It was just an honor to have been chosen to capture their special moments to last a lifetime..

Just too beautiful for words..

It was a pleasure to capture your day

Shara & Robbie.

Best wishes to your new family!!

Nicole & Kyle's Big Day!

2010-11-06T13:00:00.000-07:00

Nicole's girls were such a fun group that pretty much every moment was hilarious. Her dress was amazing & yes needed an entourage to get it on!!

Pre-ceremony was nothing but fun with Nicole,

her friends & family.

Of course of the most touching moments as Mom gave her a special gift...

Nicole designed her own flowers days before the wedding!

Everyone was touched when Nicole's parents gave her away....

This was a great shot with a classic Vegas backdrop in the distance.

Great timing with the vintage jeep roaring by us in front of the estate!

Beautiful garden scene with Nicole...

One of my favorite pics-so beautiful!

Oh Prince Charming!!

They chose "Nothing Bundt Cakes" which were cool, funky & tasted out of this world!!
http://www.nothingbundtcakes.com/

Everyone had a great time with the DJ getting every one feeling a bit romantic...

Beautiful display for the guests to share their love with Nicole & Kyle....

Just an absolute fun display with

a beautiful day in November.

A couple with fantastic guests who traveled afar to spend a special day with two special people.

I made some great friends in you.

Wishing you both a fantastic, funky,

& fun future together!!
