Rock Security

Justin from Rock Security asked me to take some pictures from his ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate his company's first year and new location. I love taking pictures of details and candids at events, so I was really excited to do these for him! I love babies and children for sure, but I must say it was nice not to have to try and get kids to sit a certain way or all smile at the same time with funny sounds and really bad knock knock jokes like most family pictures require!

Thank you Rock Security for allowing me to do these.

If you need a security contractor or know of someone or a company who does, try these guys out! They are classy and dedicated, and seem to have a great group of employees! 

Favorite Face 2011

Over at I heart Faces this is the photo challenge for the week... and it sure was a challenge for me to pick my favorite face of 2011. I actually could have posted at least 10 faces I could stare at all day long, but since I can only choose one this is the face that kept standing out to me. I love her sweet look; still a baby, but a doll of a little girl too. And the way her eyes sparkle here I just love.

Sweet Girl, 7

On, or right around each of my children's birthdays we have a birthday shoot. They get dressed in their favorite and/or newest outfit, I do their hair how they love to wear it and we go outside for a few minutes (they don't usually give me much longer than that) and capture them as they are. It's my  way of remembering them at that particular age. I love going back through the years and being able to say, "that was 5" and "that was 2".  Well here's a little of Kayla at 7:

If you'd like me to capture your child on their birthday just send me an email at

Skousen Family

It has been such a fun Christmas break, and one of the highlights has been spending some time with our family from Virginia. Jackie is a photographer herself and doesn't have any pictures with her and her family, so we went out and did a little photo shoot in between letting the kids play. These leaves made the whole trip worth while! The kids had so much fun piling them up and running and jumping in them. It's funny how out here in Henderson, NV you have to pay to go somewhere to find leaves to jump in.  =)  Love you guys!
