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 | A Morning in the Orchard

 

Last fall, I met Sarah and her family at the local orchard, just after sunrise. The light was amazing and golden and beautiful and perfect.

And their sweet boy was absolutely adorable.

Big Sister thought the orchard was amazing! She picked apples for us all morning.

It was a perfect day for apple picking! I am so glad we came out to the orchard for this fun session.

Las Vegas Family Photography | Enjoying the Birds at the Park

It was a beautiful day in the park when we took these family photos. Even the peacocks thought so! It was hilarious. This outtake was one of MANY that took place, because every time we turned around, a bird was attempting to get into our shot. I decided the mama had to be a closet bird-whisperer:)

They are SUCH a cute family!

We took a walk over to the suspension bridge, where the girls performed a “fashion show” for me. I LOVED IT:)

Girls, you are SO FASHION. Thanks for a great day!

Seriously. I love photographing kids and families, and Tule Springs Park is such a beautiful location to do it! If you want to get your family photos done out here, let me know! Use the CONTACT link above and I will get back to you right away!

 

 

Las Vegas Family Photographer | Saying Goodbye to Another Wonderful Family

 

Sigh. Another one of my favorite families… Another family that I have been photographing for years (since the twins were born!)… I look forward to our session every year. This one, though, is our final one in Las Vegas. They’ve found their dream home and are moving closer to family in New Mexico. I am so, so sad to see them go…

Watching this beautiful girl blossom…

And this one share special giggles… 

And this one’s sweet smile…

Every year they were the highlight of my family portrait season! And how amazingly photogenic are they all??!

Sweet girls… I know you are going to have so much fun being closer to your family.

But I am going to be perfectly honest… I wish you weren’t going! I will miss you all so much (and Barbara, I will especially miss your sense of humor when it comes to Christmas card designs!).

I have said it before, but in case you forgot… I am happy to travel ANYWHERE around the world to photograph families. Give me a call or use the CONTACT tab above and let me know when you want to schedule your session, and we can put together a package that will be perfect for you! Barbara, I am expecting your call in a few months…!

 

 

Reno-Sparks Family Photographer | Shontell and Mike’s Kids

You may think these kiddos look a little familiar. That’s not only because I have been photographing them forever, but also because you see them on the homepage of my main website!

 

I love that I have watched them grow since the very start of my business. From the youngest, who once refused to even be photographed…

To my little soulmate…

To the one whom I adore for her amazing brain and gorgeous eyes…

To the one who is becoming a young man right before me…

To the beauty who has the wits to match…

These kids make me so happy. I love my job!

Your family is important. Don’t waste any more time. CONTACT me using the link above and schedule your own family session. I promise, you’ll be so glad you did!
