Welcome to My Blog!!!

I am a northern Nevada based on-location photographer.   What exactly does on-location mean, anyway?  Well, I photograph you and your loved ones within the comforts of your home or an outdoor setting of your choice.   I specialize in wedding and children’s photography, but have a knack for capturing families and seniors as well.

A little bit about me…..I am a mother of two children, soon to be ages 6 and 8; time flies!  I love to be outside braving the elements.  You can often find me running with my dogs, skiing, and biking with my kids.

Because my sessions are at my client’s homes, each one is quite unique!   I enjoy the modern feel of bright colors and crazy patterns. Pictures shouldn’t be ’sterile’, they should be rich and vibrant!   I try to use natural light, but will bring some supplemental off camera lighting for dark spaces when necessary.   My sole purpose of the session is produce images that conjure up the emotion of the day.

Life will be different tomorrow, so remember today!

Hot August Baby - Reno / Tahoe Newborn Photographer

Colin’s daddy has a love affair with cars, so naturally it was fitting to do part of our newborn session under the hood!  Don’t worry guys, Colin was perfectly OK – the Camaro passed all pre-inspection safety checks!

Oh sweet Colin Reeves.  You are such a great snuggler….Here are a handful of classic black & whites

I Do..... Adam & Alicia's Ceremony - Reno / Tahoe Wedding Photographer

Adam and Alicia’s wedding took place at Sugar Bowl Resort.  What an amazing venue!  Their ceremony was at 3:00 p.m., which made for difficult lighting, but we managed to get many priceless shots that tell the story……

The Gals……..

Grace……need I say more?  She’s a cutie!

The Guys……

Randy wasn’t too sure about this, but he was a trooper!

Aaron was the calmest groom I have yet to meet before the ceremony.  He was so handsome, yet serene… is that possible?  I realize serene isn’t a very masculine word, Aaron, but you were perfect in every way!

Just a Handfull of Images from Aaron & Emily's Ceremony - Reno / Tahoe Wedding Photographer

Well, the weather forecast called for 30% isolated thunder showers, and the rain unfortunately came right when the ceremony was about to start.  We waited a bit, and then a bit more, until the pounding rain turned into a drizzle.  It was quite a beautiful ceremony despite the weather and I don’t think there was a dry eye to be found…
