Candid Las Vegas Family & Portrait Photography
Simple direction. Real expressions.
Natural-light sessions in Las Vegas, with select dates along the San Diego coast.
Nothing stiff or over-rehearsed. Just natural direction and real expressions.
I photograph families, couples, and individuals across the desert and the coast. I’ll give you enough direction to get comfortable, then leave room for the laughter, movement, and quiet parts that happen on their own.

One of the best photo shoots we’ve had. Joe makes it so comfortable and fun, and captured some amazing shots of our family.
He spent lots of time with us and even stayed longer to catch the sunset. Knowledgeable and creative, I’d give him six stars if I could.
Amazing!! So happy with the photos and had a great experience with Joseph. He was on time, kind, professional, and also fun and relaxed. He kept my kids and husband happy and engaged, completely understood the aesthetic I was going for and captured us perfectly! It’s impossible to pick just a few to buy, so definitely getting the whole gallery and that’s exactly what I was hoping for. 10/10 recommend. Thank you, Joseph!!
Joe did a great job. I will definitely book will again! The entire shoot was great.
I can’t recommend him enough. From start to finish he was truly amazing, and he even worked my dog into the photos.
Loved everything about my session, Joseph was excellent and made me very comfortable. Can’t wait to do another session with him in the future.
Joseph was great, but with the marine layer, my eyes were just too squinty and I didn't love how they turned out. It was a bummer, but will have to try a different time of day or locations perhaps for next time.
Joseph did a great job working with our two little ones. He kept the shoot running and had us moving around the area so the kids didn't get too anxious. Highly recommend him for families with little ones.
Joseph was very flexible with our shoot given it was raining outside and wanted to capture photos we would like. He took the time to understand our goal and helped provided a variety of photos. Would definitely book again!!
Joseph was great! He was very easy to work with and our shoot was great. We love all of the pictures! I really appreciated all of his communication with us as well.

Las Vegas
Hi, I’m Joseph
I’m a Las Vegas family and portrait photographer, a full-time stay-at-home dad, and a lifelong technology enthusiast. I was raised in San Diego, but Vegas has been home for the past 20 years. My wife and I are raising two wild and wonderful toddlers here.
I’ve been creating visual work since the days of film and floppy disks, and I still get excited every time I press the shutter. Whether I’m photographing a family, a couple at golden hour, or headshots for a business, I keep the experience relaxed and the photographs honest.
