I had the honor of photographing an amazing photographer and her family a few weeks ago at 7 Magic Mountains.  Megan and I chose to swap family photos this year, which is super exciting because I usually do mine myself.  Megan wanted to do her family session at 7 Magic Mountains which is just outside of Vegas.  It is supposed to only be there until sometime 2018.

Megan is extremely talented and she made her skirt and her daughter’s dress for the shoot.  Unfortunately, the dress didn’t get much camera time.  This day just so happened to be one of the coldest days thus far and we started the shoot at sunrise to get some amazing light and also beat the crowds.  It was a bit too cold for the kids and little Ruby just wasn’t warm enough to show off her cute dress.  No matter what she was wearing she is cute as can be.

Thank you Megan for entrusting me with capturing your family!

7 Magic Mountains is by renowned swiss artist ugo.  It is south of Las Vegas, about 10 miles.  It is a public art work out in the middle of the desert.  It is a great location for weddings and elopements as well.

Hey look who it is, my own family.  I feel like there haven’t been photos of my family, especially with me in them, in a long time on my blog.  If it wasn’t for my amazing husband, there probably wouldn’t be these either.  December is a super duper busy month for me with my business, and add to that the additional things with the family to prepare and enjoy the holidays, I did not have the time to set up any family portraits with another photographer.  I didn’t have a chance to get any special outfits for all of us either.  We knew we needed to do a Christmas card, especially since I didn’t send one out last year.  So, my fabulous husband Dave told me lets just do it, lets just bring your remote for the camera and go.  I told everyone to just pick out an outfit they liked and not to worry if it didn’t match the others or go with a certain color scheme and then out the door we went.  Honestly, it was brutal.  With my camera on the tripod, I couldn’t see when everyone was looking or what kind of faces they were making, or even use my favorite lens (because I was missing the part that connects it to the tripod).  We all got pretty frustrated and I was sure we didn’t get many good photos, except for the few that me or my husband took.  I was even a little unhappy with the ones I ended up choosing for my Holiday card because I am such a perfectionist.  But looking back at these now, I am more then happy with them.  I am so glad we did them and I have photos of all of us.  We may not have done it the easiest and most stress free way (Like hiring a photographer) but we have these photos and they show us how we are, crazy faces and all.

The D Family was one of my first clients when I started out and I have been lucky to be able to photograph them several years since then.  Their two children are two of the cutest kids I have ever seen.  You couldn’t get a bad picture of the whole family if you tried.

We went to a local park nearby their home to get some updated family pictures for their Christmas cards this year.  Of course I had to grab a bunch of pictures of the kids too, they are just way too adorable.

I love photographing young kids.  All they have to do is sit there and they are automatically super cute.
