I moved to Las Vegas in 2010, and I have been calling this crazy town home. I love it here so far, and that it is such a diverse city! I can drive to the Strip and eat dinner at a world-class restaurant, I can go hiking right outside of the city, and I can go snowboarding at Mt. Charleston, just 40 min from the city (yes and it gets real snow!).
My style
I don’t believe in awkward, stiff posing. That brings back terrible memories of my Olan Mills school portraits, including the terrible neon laser light backdrop. Instead, I like to photograph outside the traditional portrait studio and shoot on location. Modern photography is all about making the couple feel comfortable in front of the camera and capturing the emotion of couples, the love, and the sparkle in people’s eyes. That is what I strive for–the genuine, real emotion.
10 things about me:
1.) I am an impulsive Facebook and Twitter checker.
2.) I have two sets of dimples – I have a set on the apples of my cheeks too.
3.) Orange is my favorite color.
4.) I love my nook ereader. I read about a book a week.
5.) Las Vegas doesn’t really get that cold for boot weather but I love wearing them anyway.
6.) I like to document what I eat. I usually have more vacation pictures of food than famous landmarks.
7.) I probably watch more reality TV than I should.
8.) Did I say how much I love food? I love finding good restaurant deals on Groupons and copy cat sites.
9.) I believe weekends are far too short.
10.) I love sleeping in!
