My Cora

Took these photos of Cora a while back and just realized I never posted them, so here they are...

Ritchie Family Photos

I took these pictures for my friend Emily and her family before Christmas. We were in the same photography class and she is actually the person who took our family photos a few months ago.

Locations

Calico Basin @ Red Rock is just a couple of miles up Charleston from the 215. This location has a huge wooden walkway bridge that winds up toward the mountain through lots of beautiful trees. The scenery changes drastically throughout the year. It is very brown usually Dec-Feb/Mar, then turns to shades of green with pretty yellow blossoms from about Apr-Oct, and then has really pretty fall colors for about a month before it turns brown again.

Blue Diamond City is located about 10 minutes from Blue Diamond Road & Ft. Apache. It consists of small town houses, greenery, and my favorite background ever...the RED wall! It has the most gorgeous yellow leaves in the fall. The one downfall to Blue Diamond is that the residents don't love people coming around doing photo shoots in their small town.

The Henderson Museum is approx. 45 minutes away from the SW side of town and has a $2/person admission fee. It looks very similar to Blue Diamond but has no residents to worry about. There are a lot of little houses and cute picket fences. Some trains, lots of grass and trees. Love this location.

Lake Las Vegas is also approx. 45 min away from the SW side of town. Beautiful lake, lots if greenery, neutral colors and beautiful buildings. A more formal setting.

Rhodes Ranch is a golf course located near the 215 & Durango in the SW area of Las Vegas. It's very green and has lots of palm trees, grass, some small water features and flowers.

The Smith Center is a performing arts center located near the LV Strip, just off of the I-15 & I-95. A gorgeous building with some modern art structures, grass, and palm trees.
