And since every post is better with a picture. :)
Volunteering and giving back has been a huge part of my life since I was little. It started with my Mom and serving in a soup kitchen when I was about 7. So, when the opportunity to give back can work hand in hand with my passion, sign me up!
In 2011 I heard about an organization called Help-Portrait. This organization hosts a worldwide event on the same day to not “take” someone’s portrait, but instead “give” it. I was unable to participate in 2011 due to scheduling conflicts, so I jumped on the chance to volunteer in 2012.
The event here in Las Vegas is held at the Shannon West Homeless Youth Center. We had the opportunity to photograph homeless youth, some that have never been told they are beautiful or even matter. There were professional make-up artists and hair stylists on hand to help provide a rock star experience.
The premise behind the event was to bless these youth, but in turn, we were the ones blessed. It was such an amazing experience to get to hear their stories and see how even out of all the “bad” that had happened in their lives, they have the perseverance to rise above it. I can’t wait until next year!
Here is the link to the video from the 2012 event if you are interested in watching it!
And if the day wasn’t awesome enough, I got to shoot alongside two dear friends and fabulous assistant (my dear hubby of almost 14 years)!

Babies are my weak spot. Sweet, cuddly, itty bitty babies. So, when I was asked to shoot a newborn session even though I am not *technically* open yet, I said yes!
Miss Lilly came into my studio at 11 days old and is absolutely perfect. Even though she only gave in to sleep for about 15 minutes, she was such a trooper. Mommy and Daddy were too, even when Miss Lilly decided to have an explosion on Mommy during the family poses. Watching J & J interact with Lilly, I can tell they are going to be fabulous parents and Lilly is never going to doubt their love for her.
These are absolutely precious! Just gorgeous, what a sweetheart. You did amazing capturing all the details and I love love love the ones with her and mom and dad!

Has there ever been anything in your life that you REALLY wanted to do, but it scared you to death?
Knowing what your passions are, but being scared to take that leap (again)?
That has been me for the last two years (a little back story).
Running a legitimate photography business is hard and often times stressful. I have very high expectations of my art and the client experience I aim to provide. I worry that the ugly “c” word won’t let me reach those standards and that I will fail my family, friends and clients. I’m still letting the “c” word win.
But, 6 months ago I decided enough is enough! I made the decision to take the leap and reopen my business. In that time, I have been doing TONS of back-end work to get ready and I am happy to announce my grand opening is coming soon!
On March 15, 2013 I will “officially” be open for business!
I can’t wait!
Be on the lookout soon for my grand opening casting call! I will be taking a limited number of sessions that include complementary session fee and 5 digital images!
