Mandy and John - Pure Love: Part 2

And here is part two of Mandy and Johns session! They did a quick outfit change and we inflated some balloons, the sun was starting to set over the hill tops and gave a really pretty warmness to everything!

We can't wait for your wedding in September! ...

Feed the Birds!

Its pretty common knowledge that I love birds and owls! I have an abundance of cute feathery birds, clothing, wall stickers, a wallet, jewelry...oh yeah and Pure Photography's logo!!

I was so excited about the book I wanted to share it with everyone! How cute is this!

Jay - Class of 2010

Fawn and I spent an afternoon at the University of Reno Nevada photographing Jay's senior portraits. He will be attending in the fall and we took the afternoon to explore some of the campus! He is also a very gifted saxophone player so we had to incorporate that! My husband attended school here and I spent many afternoons walking these grounds with him, our favorite time was in the spring when all the baby ducks would be running around! It was nice to be back and reminisce! We had so much fun with Jay and his mom! Jay, we wish you nothing but the best in the years to come and we know your future is full of endless possibilities! ...

Your Love Stories

I'm a visual person, so even though something can be described brilliantly I still LOVE seeing pictures or illustrations of it! Because of this I completely understand when people ask to see what our wedding albums look like instead of just having me describe them! Since we love taking pictures that tell a story we wanted to compile those pictures in a story book format. So our albums are designed to look and feel like a book, a book containing part of your love story! Your book is custom designed by me and we offer a handful of vintage book cover options. Like most traditional books there is a beginning, middle and end. So, I choose images from your wedding day that help tell the story in chronological order. The images are a combination...
