Sandon Family

After finishing family number one, of course I embarked on my journey number two (or Dos, or Deuce) depending on what language you want to put it in, but yes, number two! This family was introduced to me by my sister, who lives in Vegas. Did I mention that
already? Well, if I haven't that's mainly how I got all my contacts in a row, and all my sessions, thanks to that lil'sister I call "Gurlie Girl".

We headed to Lake Las Vegas, a Mediterranean inspired area for the Sandon shoot. The place is beautiful, but so empty. We wondered how they actually are able to have the stores open without hardly any profit or for that matter traffic. We met at the marina there and lord and behold a gorgeous group of models, well, the family I was taking photographs of The Sandon’s walked up and
greeted me.

They were so friendly, and excited to get going. The two boys Cash and Cole are so adorable. Their bond as brothers is so visible, and their sister Katlyn is a lovely representation of a young lady growing up.  Usually when your bombarded by the opposite sex as a child,you either conform to be like them, or you just let things slide, I think maybe her easy going nature has allowed them all to be really
good siblings. I saw a lot of L-O-V-E, between them...

Dad is a technical director for the Celine Dieon show, and from what I was told she is quite the opposite of what you presume her to be. She is friendly and very accommodating to her workers; it's nice to hear she is a "normal" person. As for mom, she's an athletic Queen! I've never really met a "mom" that is so fit and toned. It's nice to know even after you have kids you can look like her!

With that said, I enjoyed my time with the Sandon family! I almost wanted to be adopted by you all, because your family seemed like mine almost, and you made me feel part of yours. Thank you, for letting me spend an hour in your lives!

Diel Family

This past week has been so crazy, going back to my regular job and editing images has been quite the obstacle. *Note to self, "Self, give yourself more time!"  I had a very adventurous experience in Las Vegas last week. Seriously, I did. Walking in canyon's with sandals on, almost being trampled by a drifting car, going on the wrong airplane to Vegas (I think this was caused by the jitters =/ ) And, having to shoe off weird characters I encountered on the Vegas Strip. Did I mention this was all in a week's time? Oh, and the best part about it I got to meet great people along my journey.

My first encounter with newbies, was with the Diel family; A military family. They are just about to say hello to a new member of their family, with mom Nancy pregnant, and about to embark in a journey of their own with moving back to their hometown in Alabama. The family was beautiful to photograph. The dad, Todd was extremely friendly, and humble. Nancy was a beautiful southern belle with such graceful demeanor . They have two daughters Mariah and Lee Ensley, which are so adorably cute. The big sister Mariah is a gymnast, and I actually was referred to this family by their friend who my sister, Morgan teaches Gymnastics's too. (Networking; that's what it's all about!)  Baby Lee, is the perfect little almost two year old, full of laughter, and spunk. This one is going to be a handful for them when she gets into her toddler years. I think she's going to be a heart breaker she's so exquisite and has such great facial expressions. Mariah on the other hand is a natural in front of the camera, knew exactly where to look, how to stand, position her body, and I was quite surprised at her age she was so confident in front of the camera. I think she may be on to something.

I'd like to thank you guys for the exceptional time I had with your family, and how incredibly accommodating you were, to do whatever I asked! Also, for being genuinely nice.
