Nevada Shoot

I just got back from a much needed vacation from Nevada. I'm orginally from Henderson, NV ... about 40 minutes from Las Vegas. I consider Vegas my "home" because, 1) my parents live there and 2) that's the longest they've (we've) ever lived somewhere. My family is military and we moved a lot while growing up. But Fayetteville may soon become my new home because we are creeping up on almost 7 years living here.

However, while home I took a session of a high school friend's children and I must say, they are adorable! These pics were taken at the Clark County Heritage Museum where there were trains, older buildings, and a fun, red barn. It is the perfect place to let little ones roam around and not worry about what they'll get themselves into ... very child friendly. So ... I let the kiddies run and I chased them!

We started at 9 am thinking the heat wouldn't affect us too much ... especially the kids ... but even at that time the Nevada heat started to cook us! But these little troopers stuck it out and performed well, giving me sweet smiles and precious poses!

And these are the adorable portraits I got! I am pretty impressed with myself, if I do say so myself! :-)

Look at these precious kids! "M" was such a great poser and even though "B" was getting tired and hot, his smiles were perfect!

I do have to say, children sessions definitely are my favorite!
