speckled bird art – real. life. captured. bio picture
  • the speckled bird art blog

    I am a modern family photographer. At your photo session, expect to play. Expect to be silly. Expect this to be a completely different photo session than you have ever experienced before. My goal is to capture real life and those genuine smiles, soulful eyes, laughter, (and sometimes tears) that encompass the richness and fulness of the lives we lead. We each have a story to tell, and I hope to capture for you a glimpse of that story.

    Whether you want to remember the excitement of your engagment and wedding, anticipation surrounding your pregnancy, the freshness of your newborn, the giggles of your baby, the newfound independence of your toddler, the joy of childhood, or the personality of your high school senior, Speckled Bird Art Photography will capture each important milestone of your life in a creative, unique, and artistic way.

    Check out the website in the PORTFOLIO section above, and send me an email to book your unforgettable photo session with me. I can't wait to meet you.

Las Vegas Family Photographer | Brother and Sister Together

The last time I had photographed Stephanie’s family, her boy was 6 months old. It was so great reconnecting with them and meeting their sweet daughter!

She loves her big brother…

And she loves being independent…

Big brother loves to talk your ear off, especially about all things human body! This kid can name pretty much every bone in the body. It is seriously impressive.

Little sister loves to laugh and giggle and laugh some more. She can sign all sorts of words, too! She is amazing.

And together, this family has a LOT of fun!

During story time, mom and daughter signed together some of the words from the book…

Meanwhile Big Brother was informing me of the location of my metacarpals.

It was a fun morning with all of them! I can’t wait to go back again.:)

Las Vegas Family Photographer | Sisters Love Each Other

This is another family that came from out of town for photos! These sisters are from Richmond, Virginia and were in Vegas with their parents for a few days before heading to the Grand Canyon for a hike. I am so glad I had the opportunity to photograph them. They are both super cute, and I just love this age!

Sisters sharing secrets. Just typing that was hard. Try saying it five times fast!

I had such a great time with you girls! I can’t wait to see you again!

If you are planning a trip to the Las Vegas area, you can book your family photos with Speckled Bird Art, too! Since I work on location, I can come right to you to make things super easy, relaxed, and casual. Just email jessie@speckledbirdart.com and we can plan it!

Las Vegas Newborn Photography | Sweet Baby Boy

It’s so fun capturing newborns in their first few days at home. Everything is just so new and wonderful.

And sometimes you get a baby boy who really loves being home with his mama!

Mommy and Daddy are adoring their newest family member. Seriously, aren’t they all gorgeous? I feel like they should be models for “adorable new families dot com” – that has to be a website, right?

They couldn’t take their eyes off their sweet baby. Can’t blame them. He’s a cutie pie!

Ready? Favorite picture from the session. This would be blown up on a ginormous canvas in my house if it were me! LOVE!!!

One of my specialties is gallery-wrapped canvas prints. I love HUGE ones! If you ever want to see samples of what I offer in person, email me at jessie@speckledbirdart.com. You can come to my office and see the 40×60 gallery wraps I have hanging on my own wall!

Las Vegas Family Photographer | Visiting from Tunisia

I think this couple wins for traveling the farthest for family photos.:) They were actually here in Las Vegas visiting friends. They are photographers in Tunisia, Africa, so next time you are out there, you should check them out… 5 Fifteen Photography

Their sweet daughter was no stranger to the camera, thanks to having a mommy and daddy who do this for a living. It was so fun to watch her ham it up for me!

And even funnier was this outtake – as mom and dad tried to redirect her to where the actual photographer was! LOL!

It was a beautiful day and a perfect time for pictures.

Also for dancing!

If you are planning a trip to Vegas and want to schedule a family photo shoot while you are here, give me a call at 702.219.8166 or email jessie@speckledbirdart.com!

Las Vegas Family Photography | Little Sister, Big Sister

Meet Little Sister. She’s 6 months old and just as sweet as can be.

This is Big Sister. She loves cooking things in the kitchen, especially if it’s for Pooh Bear (notice Pooh is in the sink)

These two sisters are so adorable together.

I love that even at this young age that bond between them is forming.

And having two sisters of my own, I think I speak from experience.

These girls will be friends forever.
