I love when I walk into a wedding and already feel like family. Years ago I had the privilege of taking the Salame’s (the bride’s family) portraits, then last year I received the call from Sara “I’m finally engaged!” Follow that with an amazing engagement session and through all the chats and emails in between, […]

I’m back with my first blog post of 2014. For those if you who don’t know my mother recently passed that the beginning of this year. I am getting caught up today and will be blogging sessions all this week and next staring with the amazing wedding of Gracie and Andrew! What a day! I’d […]

  • Kaye M Scrivo - As the mother of the groom I am certainly biased but have to say
    “what a beautiful wedding!” Gracie was the most amazing bride. Despite awful weather the smile never left her face and she was determined to enjoy her day. Which she did along with everyone else.
    The decorations were beautiful! The fact that she made most of them, even more phenomenal!
    We are so lucky to have her as part of our family!
    The pictures are gorgeous and remind me of so many wonderful memories of that day!

    • admin - I just saw this comment Kaye. But you are absolutely right. Gracie is one in a million! By the way my middle name is Kaye. Kaye was my grandmothers name. 🙂 She was my favorite person in the world so you must be special too!ReplyCancel

Had such an amazing time photographing and stylizing Annelise’s High School Senior Portraits. As an upcoming 2014 graduate of Palo Verde, Annelise has been significantly impacted by the theatre. When she told me how much she loves Gretta Garbo, I knew we had one amazing session ahead of us! Lucky for me, Annelise already had […]

Even in the midst of this crazy busy Fall season I had to make blogging this session a priority. Last month I had the pleasure of booking Ashley Rae and Michael’s wedding at Lake Las Vegas set for next July. Only catch was they first met and currently reside in Los Angeles and wanted their engagement […]

As a PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER, sometimes you simply MUST shoot just for FUN!!! No practical reason… just from a place of desire and desperate INSPIRATION! And that’s when a friend calls. Thank you Jamie Rubeis of Jamie Rubeis Photography for bringing me along this inspired-styled shoot. We both had a blast with Carynn, a gorgeous and aspiring actress, […]

Jackie + Jason I knew as soon as I met this amazing couple that photographing their wedding day was going to be way too much fun! And if I hadn’t of been so convinced at that particular moment, I was most certain after their ‘teacher themed’ engagement photoshoot at Mt. Charleston. The connection between Jason […]

If you would have told me even three months ago that I would be doing my first bridal show this year; I probably would have graciously replied, “You’re Crazy”. But there I stood this past weekend at the Cashman Convention Center, amongst some of the most respected vendors in the biz and now, ‘fellow exhibitors’ […]

I am so grateful that this session turned out as amazing as is did since I made Jackie and Jason wait soooooo long to make this themed Mt. Charleston engagement photoshoot happen! But scheduling outdoor photoshoots are always ‘weather permitting’ and we needed some green to grow back to really pull off the look we […]
