I just started my business page back up for my photography business on Facebook.  I had taken it down a year ago because I was actually thinking of moving into a different field, but instead decided to tackle both fields.

Thought I would drive some traffic to it by advertising, but I guess the monitors at Facebook thought the current images I have up are too pornographic and sent me the below rejection email, LOL!

I suppose the girls I do take photos of could wear just a tiny bit more clothing :)

On the 18th of this month (October 2012), I scheduled to do a couples shoot with Angela Wyman and Steve Moorman.  Angela is an actress, singer and dancer that can be seen on advertising for Gold Gate Casino in downtown Las Vegas.  Steve is a professional poker player who’s the tallest person I’ve met thus far here in Vegas.  Due to the sun setting way earlier than I thought, most of the images we got were in the evening though they were great nontheless!

The setting we ended up choosing was the Smith Center of the Performing Arts, which is located in downtown Las Vegas as well.  Unfortunately the evening we did the session, they were having an event in the little cubby hole @ the center of the Smith Center where I really wanted to photograph the two of them.  We ended up getting images around the facility which is very nice as well, then ended our session in front of the Gold Gate Casino.

Extremely nice couple :)  Hope you all like the photos!


Downtown @ the Smith Center for the Performing Arts was the perfect setting to have Jessica and Kevin’s engagement photos done.  Unfortunately, it was windy so it played havoc on Jessica’s hair and eyes.  We decided to do a second shoot here later next week.  For now, here are some of the fabulous images I got of this very cute couple!

If the weather temperature wasn’t so hot last night, all the photographs I took would’ve been sensational with these two.  They must be somehow related to me because they’re so good looking, LOL!  Not much else to say.  Video photo montage up above and some larger version of images in the montage below.


There are times in your life when you wish you could start over, I experienced one of those moments yesterday with Natalie and Scott.   It was @ the Heart Attack Grill down in Fremont Street….and it wasn’t even the milkshake I had that was made out of lard I think topped off with a lard of square butter, it was the fact I didn’t get audio of the conversation I had with Natalie and Scott of how they met, and how they have been inseparable for almost 4 years now.  If you watched the photo montage above, you would’ve heard Natalie go on for about 8 seconds and Scott go for about 20 seconds about one another, but man when they told me their story while we we eating, I was thinking to myself, that’s a pretty awesome story they both had.

I will summarize it by saying they met @ a Finish Line line where at the time Scott was a manager and Natalie walked in for a shoe fitting that lasted almost 3 hours.  As she left because she was killing time those three hours waiting for her friend who she had to pick up at the airport, he gave her his number, they went their separate ways until she called him later on that evening, and they’ve been together ever since.  Is that a super long run-on sentence?

In any case, if you had heard the two of them talk, you too would’ve said “Awwwww” as they told how things went from there (I did not say “Awwwww” out loud because I am a man)….spending Halloween together, how Scott’s family just accepted her unconditionally, how they seem to love their French bulldog Zeus as much as I love Jovi and Chauncy (that’s impossible!)

In this day and age, four years seems like an eternity, but not with these two, at least from what I see.  Its really nice to see a young couple in love :)

Hoping Natalie and Scott continue to have an amazing life together….


What an adorable couple!  Missy is a professional hair stylist and Bronson (who has a full head of hair but always wants to wear a fedora) is a music instructor, bass player!  We met @ The Hotel @ Mandalay Bay to do a couples shoot.  Spent some time walking around and taking some fabulous photos (mostly walking) and at the end, we found out that we lived in the same condo community!  They literally live less than 100 yards away from me!  What a small world!  What’s even better is that these two love food almost as much as I do!  I think we spend 1 hour and a half taking photos and then the next 45 minutes talking about shrimp, crabs, red velvet pancakes, carne asada.  I wanted to tell them I loved them both because of their love for food, but then remembered earlier in the session, when we were on the outside walkway, security was coming towards us and Missy play so we wouldn’t get in trouble was to say “Oh that does look green!”, and the only things around us were green trees and green shrubbery!  You had to be there to find it funny :D

 


(photography session – May 13, 2012)

An absolutely adorable couple, Kazi and Emily are set to get married @ Rainbow Gardens on September 5, 2012.  Most of their guests are flying into Las Vegas, so Kazi came up with the idea of shooting @ the Las Vegas Sign located on Las Vegas Blvd.  Since I’ve gotten to know the couple very well, the session went off very smoothly and we were literally done in about half an hour.

Very much looking forward to photographing their wedding day and meeting the rest of their family!
