I have over 6 years of experience in graphic design, 5 years of training, and a year under my belt of finding my hidden talent that is live photography. Check out the rest of the site for more!

Graphic Design and Web Design

As an artist I am very well rounded in many aspects of graphic design from color theory to typography. The company I currently work for in Las Vegas, NV does website design and print (graphic) design for clients in Las Vegas as well as some cities in California and Arizona. I have had the pleasure of working for one company, the same company for 6 years to help gain experience in the graphic design world. The opportunities presented to me for sticking with the same company opens up an extensive network to me for thefuture. I appreciate all that I have accomplished over the years and am ready to continue on with designing and working on my photography.

Live and Landscape Photography

While our drive has always been portrait photography and landscapes, Landschoot Studios has expanded to offering Live Photography! I know it is a long shot, and was a surprise to me when I took on this venture. It was a hidden talent that was brought into the light and has gotten a lot of praise and positive reviews. I am honing in on my skills of capturing beautiful moments at live shows where cameras are permitted (or not, hehe). When it comes to live photography, especially at intimate shows, I feel a flash is distracting to the performers so I will NEVER use one. It makes motion a problem more often then not, but I have learned how to work around it and get the shots I want and need.
