Things to keep in mind Prior to your photoshoot!

Heat and Trek

- Some locations require quite a bit of walking, so be sure to bring your favorite pair of comfy shoes and be ready for a trek.

- Las Vegas is known for its heat, so if you plan a photoshoot in the summer make sure to plan accordingly (water, sunscreen if needed, mini fan, etc.)

Indoor Locations

- Most casinos do not appreciate photographers taking pictures inside their property and could cite you for trespassing, so take this as my pre-warning: we may be kicked out if we try to take photos there.

- There are a collection of indoor studios that can be used, but they do cost extra to use and need to be scheduled for a particular day. I will link them below! :)

Permits & Fees

- I have linked which locations require permits, those locations will need to be scheduled ahead of time due to location scouting requirements.

- Due to the low pricing I offer, extra fees do apply to those locations.
