Crush on Tuxedo Wear

I loved our groom, Mike's, shoes. As I have been editing his wedding photos, I kept thinking of a pair of these for myself. Instead, here are the looks that Mike's grooms wear inspired me to put together. A frilly, feminine tuxedo style shirt, pinstripes, sexy fishnets and a classic menswear inspired heal. I love the frilled flannel collar and pinstripe short look.

The guys always lighten the mood on wedding day. Bring on the laughs, Boys!!!

Crush on Reno Class of 2011 Portraits

It's official. High school seniors are rowdy, cool, talented, and just plain fun to photograph. I love their ability to "dress the part" and model with reckless abandon. We get so caught up that Richelle locked her keys in her car (which turned out to give us time to capture the one of her in the grass) and then my keys mysteriously disappeared during Jun's shoot (Richelle assisted) AND they almost ran away with elves today. It's time for a key chain---around my neck.

And we always find time to goof around

You may remember Jun from a previous post. Go check his out here:

Crush on Community :::A COMMUNITY DRIVE::: Taking Nominations Here

COMMUNITY DRIVE {GETTING NOTICED} by Skye Snyder Photography
You're in the right place to nominate your community member!

The Reno/Tahoe community has invited us into their homes, allowed us to photograph their life-altering events, and trusted us to create portrait art of their most beloved friends and family. It's time again to give back to you.

Our first event was for Renovation Community. It planted the seed to make giving back a common practice here at Skye Snyder Photography.

This event is a "community drive", to uncover those individuals who make our town a better place---by what they do, how they help, the strenghth they share....you name it. Many of us have been touched by teachers,  who have committed their days (and nights...and weekends :) to provide our children with the best education and guidance they deserve. Many of us know Moms and Dads who are not only "keeping it together" but showing us all how to do it sublimely, happily, confidently, contentedly. Many of us know good folks who have come on hard financial times and they are still the richest people in our lives. Many of us know of sisters, brothers, aunts and uncles who have been delivered tragic news, yet they smile the biggest. Many of us know someone, who would simply enjoy a photography session just because they are wonderful to you! We need to know who they are!!!!

Tell us so we can recognize them and thank them with a small token of appreciation, a Skye Snyder Photography Portrait Session and an 11x14 custom print  of their choice.

Crush on Vroom Vroom at i heart faces

i heart faces has a new challenge, transportation. Looking through our family shots, I was surprised to see in our photos the variety of modes to get around. There were plains, trains, water taxis, rafts, ferries, hot air balloons, and one of my personal favorites, the New Orleans Street Car--the St Charles Line. Ahhh, New Orleans--We fell in love with her history, her architecture, her music, her tradition, and mostly her people.

Crush on Senior Portraits at Skye Snyder Photography

High school senior sessions could quite possibly be the best way to spend a work day. It's doesn't feel like work in any traditional definition or in any way that I've spent a day punching a time clock. Fun, goofy, creative, and just a ball of laughs. I love them. Thank you Senior Class of 2011 from all over Reno and Sparks, Nevada for making this the best return to portraiture a girl could ever ask for. Here are some of McQueen graduate, Jun. He worked that camera and played us some sweet music too. Thank you, Jun!!

The girl jumper is Richelle, another senior from McQueen whose photos will be coming soon!!!
