We are especially impressed with Susan’s maternity photos and her professional headshots. Her maternity shots show a unique ability to capture mothers-to-be as though they are alone, dreaming about their new child the way they might with no one there to watch them. And her headshots are great at showing both the seriousness and the sly sense of humor of her subjects.

11. Gina Mizzoni

Gina Mizzoni is a traditional portrait artist that takes classically lit and composed photographs that capture the personality and depth of her photographic subjects –– with just enough artistic edge to help your portrait stand out no matter the purpose. Her photos are alternatively artistic enough to frame and hang and admire for decades, or straightforward and serious enough to be used as professional profile photos.

And, if do you use her for this latter task, we can pretty much guarantee you’ll have the best photo of any of your colleagues. She uses a collaborative approach for all of her photographic sessions, so you’re going to get exactly what you’re after — the only limitation will be your combined imaginations.

The best Las Vegas portrait photographers are too humble to toot their own horn, so we’ve done the work for them. Because what they do on a daily basis honestly helps make the world a better place. Their professional photos help people move up in the world. Their children’s portraits help children realize — every time they see those portraits hanging up in their family homes — that they are treasured, and that the life they’re living is stable and they will always be loved. And, of course, their portraits of everyday people help people feel good about themselves.

And these things really do make a cumulative difference in the world, not just for the people in their portraits, but everyone in those peoples’ lives as well. If you think we’re overselling it a bit, think about all your own favorite portraits and how often you go back to them just because it makes you feel good to see yourself that way. That’s why we love working with portrait artists so much. You’re always welcome to shoot at a Peerspace.
