Meet Pete, the Las Vegas photographer behind Flashqbe.
You know what I mean, the kind that sneaks up on you, not during the big flashy plans, but in between them.
Picture this: you and your partner in crime are walking down the Strip, and the two of you break into dance under the neon lights to the beat of your new favorite song playing in the background, all while unnamed people smile in approval as they walk by.
Or maybe it’s the way the two of you share an inside joke while enjoying drinks at your favorite lucky slot machine.
That type of moment is the moment.
If memorable moments are what you’re looking for, you’re in the right place.
“If memorable moments are what you’re looking for, you’re in the right place.”
My name is Pete, and I’m the founder of Flashqbe. Here’s my story.
Flashqbe shoots a diverse range of photos for clients across Las Vegas, serving this world class city’s wide variety of needs. When I’m not working behind the camera, my wife Kate and I are probably planning our next travel adventure together. Our favorite trip together was to Iceland because of the amazing landscapes and waterfalls. It’s where we fell in love. Other than that, we keep it pretty low key, maybe visiting the occasional pool or restaurant.
Do you remember the kid in your class from grade school who drew all over his notebooks? That was me. I’ve been a visual artist my whole life, and I’m always building or creating some kind of art or craft project. (Right now, I’m in the middle of fabricating some Daft Punk helmets to use in a future photo shoot.) I also love picking up a camera just for myself, usually to shoot street and travel photography. Some of my favorite photos are the ones nobody asked me to take. You can find a few of them in the Personal Work section of my blog.
Being from Wisconsin, I’m a Green Bay Packers fan, of course. I’m also the type to start cleaning a countertop and somehow end up reorganizing the entire kitchen. It makes me wonder: can home improvement be called a hobby?
Do you love Vegas the way I love Vegas?
Las Vegas really surprised me when I moved here. Beyond the casinos and parties, there’s actually a strong sense of community and a thriving art scene. I have a great group of friends I’ve met throughout the years here. Although it can get pretty windy, we enjoy almost endless sunshine. It’s a city full of character and creativity.
When I think about my life in Vegas, I still feel the same as I did when I first moved here in 2005:
Why people book me:
People book me as their photographer because I bring humor, creativity and high energy to every shoot, matching the spirit of Las Vegas itself. You’re excited to be here, so why wouldn’t I be excited to take photos for you?
I like to capture those spontaneous moments of joy that happen between the posed shots; they’re often the most memorable ones! You’ll feel comfortable in front of my camera as we explore iconic Vegas locations or discover hidden gems off the beaten path, collecting moments that tell the story of your unique Vegas experience.
I also shape my style to every setting, so the neon of Fremont Street, a mural in the Arts District and a quiet stretch of desert each get a look of their own, and your gallery never feels like one photo repeated. Once you book, I share the quieter spots I’ve found over the years, the ones most visitors walk right past. And if you tend to freeze up in front of a camera, you’re in good company. I’ll guide you one step at a time, show you what to do and why, and give you all the time you need to relax.
Honest from the first hello.
Ultimately, honesty is a core belief that guides how I live and how I work with every client. From clear communication during booking to realistic expectations about editing and delivery, I believe in being upfront, so there are no surprises, just trust. That trust creates a comfort where you can be yourself in front of the camera, knowing everything behind the lens is just as genuine. And on the rare occasion that something in a photo does not look right, I will do my best to make it right at no additional charge.
In my clients’ words.
