My Family {New Baby} | Northern Nevada Newborn Photographer
I mentioned a while ago that I was pregnant with a little boy. Little Myles Edward joined our family on April 30, 2010 weighing 7lbs 14oz. He is now three months old, and is such a sweet, happy boy. His big sister, Zoe is enamored with him and couldn’t be happier to have a little brother to call her own. And she does call him her baby, all the time. I know I should have shared these a long time ago, but better late than never, right? 
So, without further ado, here is Myles. Enjoy!
Double the fun! {TWINS} | Reno Area Newborn Photographer
I will have to share more from this session next week, as I am leaving town for a couple of days tomorrow. I just had to share a couple of shots of my new nieces. They are so adorable! They were born 5 weeks early, but are doing great. It was so much fun to see my brother as a dad, and to be able to capture some images of the twins’ first few days of life. They live in Southern California, so I was very lucky to be able to drive down and spend some time with them.
Enjoy this little preview of their session, and come back to see more next week!
Little Miss H {So Precious} | Sneak Peek | Fernley, NV Newborn Photographer
I had the pleasure of photographing little Miss H. She is the precious new arrival for my college roommate, J. J and her husband, M, are such sweet, doting parents. Miss H was only 5lbs 6oz when she was born, so she’s a tiny little peanut! So precious and sweet. She was such a little doll and was very easy to work with.
Thanks guys!
Beautiful Mama | Maternity Portrait Photographer Fernley, NV
I had the pleasure of photographing some friends of ours who are due to have a new addition in just a couple of weeks. J and R are such a cute, fun couple. You can just feel how excited they are for their new little boy to arrive. It was a lot of fun to spend some time with them, and J looks amazing!
Thank you for having me over, I can’t wait to meet little Mr. D!
New Year, New Baby! | Gardnerville, NV Newborn Photographer
Well, it’s certainly been a busy holiday season around here, and I neglected my blog a little in the rush. No worries, I’m still here, going strong!
Not only am I starting off the new year with a new baby post, but I’m also expecting a new baby of my own! A little boy, set to arrive around May 3rd!
This shoot was a little different for me, as little Miss S was a bit older than the typical newborn that I work with, and I also had an assistant with me in the form of my brother, Brian. Brian is an awesome graphic designer and artist, and he’s moving up to the area with his wife very soon. So, if you need custom cards, a new website, logo, whatever…call Brian! His site: www.brianlucasart.com
Back to the point of this post, and the part you’ve all been waiting for…Little Miss S! Miss S was not going to sleep for us, so we just worked with her awake, alert, and making lots of eye contact. She did doze off for a little bit at the very end, so I snuck in a couple of sleepy baby shots, too. She was content to hang out and be moved around the house a bit while we worked with her, what a dream to work with! She’s absolutely precious, and her parents are over the moon in love with her. It’s so much fun to see the bonds in a new family like this, and I can tell that they really care for one another. Miss S is one lucky little girl!
Thank you for inviting us into your home to meet your new arrival!
I just love this shot that Brian got…it really shows how small she is!
More to come soon!
Family Fun | Fernley, NV Family Photographer
I had the pleasure of getting together with this family over the weekend. I’ve actually photographed them before, last fall when little miss L was just a tiny baby! How fun it is to see how much both little miss L and miss P have grown!
Little miss L was not really happy about the session, but we caught a few smiles from her. I think they are just the cutest family!
Thank you for the pleasure of photographing your family again. Enjoy your sneak peek!
Tiny and new–Miss M, 3 weeks old | Fernley, NV newborn photographer
I had the distinct pleasure of getting to photograph this petite little girl over the weekend. Little Miss M was already 3 weeks old when I got to her, having spent a couple of weeks in the NICU right after she arrived 6 weeks early. I’m happy to report that she’s doing very well, and you can tell that she is very loved! She was born at a mere 4lbs 8oz and 17 inches long. She had gained over a pound by our session, but was still such a tiny, petite little girl!
Thank you for inviting me into your home to meet your new arrival!
I think mom and dad are in for one spunky little girl! Check out the smirk!
Look at the eye contact here!
Heather and Dylan Sneak Peek | Minden, NV Engagement Photographer
I had the pleasure of meeting Heather and Dylan early this week. They were in town from southern California, where they plan to get married next August. It was such a fun session, you can tell that they are true friends, and truly in love.
We started out in the evening in her parents’ yard (isn’t it pretty?), and then met up the next morning after a couple of hair cuts to get some urban shots, too.
Congratulations on your engagement, I know you’ll be very happy together! Thanks for a great time, enjoy your photos!
Make sure to leave a comment, I love them, and so do my clients!
One Gorgeous Mama-To-Be | Fernley, NV Maternity Photographer
Meet P, a gorgeous mama to be. We did her pictures at 34 weeks, and it’s a good thing we did! P’s water broke at 6am the morning after we did these photos! The good news is that mama and baby are doing great, so expect to see some gorgeous new baby soon!
Here are a couple of photos of big brother, A, with his mom having some sweet moments.
Isn’t she gorgeous? I think pregnancy is such a beautiful, wonderful thing!
Congratulations on the birth of little miss M!! I can’t wait to meet her!
As Promised…classic cars in a classic garage | Minden, NV Photographer
I had the most amazing opportunity to head down to the small, historical town of Minden, NV for this shoot. The building was built in 1911, and has had additions made to the building twice. One of these additions covered up the original exterior brick wall, which still has the original sign painted on it. Throw in a huge skylight just above the wall, and you have one AMAZING location! The C.O.D. Garage will soon become the C.O.D. Casino, so make sure you go check it out when it opens!
Special thanks to Rob, the owner of the building for letting us come in and use your space. Thanks to Mike and Mike for inviting me down!

Without further ado, here are some of the images:
1909 Duro, a horseless carriage.
Amazing light on the Duro
I like that you can see the rafters and more building details here.
One shot of the classic Buick inside the building.
Reflection. You can see the building in the reflection of the Buick's headlights.
And just one more of them outside…
Both classic cars outside of the C.O.D. Garage
Sisters | Fernley, NV Portrait Photographer
Meet K and H, sisters and long-time friends of mine. K and I have been friends as long as we can remember. In fact, we always wished we could be sisters. I had the pleasure of being able to spend an afternoon with K and her sister, H, taking some portraits of them last weekend. I had so much fun with these two–checking out new locations, laughing, goofing around with each other. It was just like old times! Between shots, they were making faces, doing silly poses, and just having a great time. I love it when people have fun with their portraits because it makes it that much more fun for me!
Thank you for spending the afternoon with me, enjoy your images!
So, for the first picture, an amazing, unique location. This is located in Minden, NV and is actually inside the building. All I can say is, “WOW!”
Amazing portrait location!
Now, one of H and her dogs, Bella and Brutto. I love being able to take pet portraits. It’s so much fun and unpredictable! Bella was cooperative and happy, Brutto, being a puppy, wanted to go off and play. Isn’t H just gorgeous?
Posing with pets!
Now, for the portraits of the sisters together…

Edited to add–my new logo and slide show are up, but we’re still working on a few more things. Keep your eye out for more changes soon.
