Sweaters, Sheep & Sweethearts

Is there anything better than cozy sweaters, holiday vibes, and dogs in matching outfits? (Spoiler: nope. There’s not.)

This holiday season, I had the absolute joy of photographing the cutest couple and their two pups, Nova and Honey, at Hemenway Park in Boulder City. And yes, there were matching sweaters. All four of them. Honestly, this might be the kind of festive energy we should carry into every season.

The session was full of laughter, snuggles, and a little extra excitement—because Hemenway Park is known for its local celebrity wildlife: the bighorn sheep. While we were nowhere near them (always respectful of distance and safety!), the dogs definitely noticed the big fuzzy “friends” in the background. Let’s just say we got a few curious head tilts and some high-alert ears that were prime for the camera.

What I loved most about this session—besides the adorable holiday outfits—was how relaxed and fun it felt. Just a little family, in their favorite sweaters, soaking up the sunshine and sweet desert scenery. It was cozy. It was joyful. It was very “Nevada winter,” and I am so here for it.

📍 Whether you're based in Boulder City, down the hill in Henderson, or visiting from Las Vegas, sessions like this are a reminder that you don’t need a big production to make magic—you just need your people (and maybe your pups in matching knitwear).

If you’re sitting there thinking, “We’ve never done photos like this before,” or “My dog would never sit still,” don’t worry—that’s my jam. I love capturing the real stuff: the goofy expressions, the ear licks, the mid-laugh moments you didn’t know you needed until you saw the photo. Whether you’re a local in Boulder City or Henderson, or just popping into Las Vegas for a visit, I’m here to make your session relaxed, fun, and totally doable—even if it’s your first time getting photos taken in a while (or ever). We can meet somewhere meaningful to you, keep things low-pressure, and still walk away with images you’ll want to post, print, and treasure forever. The holidays are such a beautiful reminder to slow down, love on your people (and pets), and capture those little in-between moments that mean the most. So don’t wait for the perfect hair day or a matching outfit miracle. Let’s take photos that feel like you. And hey—if your dog wears a sweater, that’s just a bonus.
