Lillie's Third Birthday- UNM Duck Pond
I had the pleasure of shooting Miss Lillie's third birthday photos a few weeks ago. Her mom and I agreed to meet at the UNM Duck Pond for these photos, and it turned out to be a perfect place for this curious little girl.
The Pino Family- Los Lunas River Park Photo Session
I had the pleasure of working with the Pino family about two weeks ago. This precious family includes mom Brenda, dad, Jack, and daughter Jackie.
Me and Mommy Mini Sessions- Hay's Honey Farm, Bosque Farms, NM
I was blessed to have so many great clients turn out for my Me & Mommy Mother's Day Mini Photo Sessions, and even more so that it was a beautiful day to be outside!
What to Wear to Your Family Portrait Session: Part One
One of the biggest questions, and worries, when you book a family photo session- or any session- is “What do I wear?” Or, some version of it, anyway. I know in my family, it’s always the second question asked when we get ready to take family photos- the first being “When are we doing this?”
Outdoor Family Photo Session in Bosque Farms, New Mexico- The Kinnikin Family
Erica and C.J.'s family session was actually a prize for a drawing I held on my Facebook Business Page. When my page hit 100 'Likes' I held a contest/drawing for one free session, and Erica won! I'm planning on hosting another drawing when my page hits 200 'Likes' (hint, hint!).
In-Home Family Portrait Session in Bosque Farms, NM: The Smith Family
Janice and Jay Smith invited me into their home for their family photo session just a few weeks before Christmas. This family has three young men, as well as an extensive extended family. While I was blessed to work with their extended family, I'll only be writing about Jay, Janice, and their three boys.
Los Lunas River Park Family Photo Session- The Barka Family
The beautiful Barka family, headed by Nichole and Gilbert, met me in the Los Lunas River Park for a family session a couple of weeks ago.
Bosque Farms Family Photo Session: The Medina Family
I had the pleasure of working with Jennifer and Nick Medina and their two boys a few weeks ago. We met at Jennifer's parent's house, using their front yard for this photo session. This session started off a little slow, with the boys being a little shy, but we soon had a blast!
UNM Duck Pond family photo Session- The Morrison Family
The lovely Morrison Family joined me at UNM about a week and a half ago for a family photo shoot. This family was awesome to work with! Despite the fact that it was freezing outside, they stuck it out with smiles on their faces.
Los Lunas Family Photo Session: the Watts Family
I had the pleasure of working with the awesome Watts Family on their fall family portraits. This adorable family chose Tondre Road in Los Lunas for the site of their photo session, and it was a beautiful evening for it! We had a light evening rain shower that cleared up right before we began to shoot, and the rainclouds combined with the sunset for some beautiful light.
Joshua’s First Birthday Photos
This little cutie is my son, Joshua. He recently turned 1 year old. This sweet boy of mine is growing up WAY too fast. He absolutely loves to laugh. He giggles at silly sounds, faces, and playing peek-a-boo. Once you get him going, he has a hard time stopping. I’m okay with that, though. It makes my heart happy to hear that sound.
Why I Love Photography
It occurred to me this last week that I never explained why I love photography- and that I should probably share that with you.
Welcome!
I am so excited to be starting my photography business. I never thought that I would end up here. Owning a business is always one of those things that a lot of people dream of when they’re young, but only a select few actually make it happen. I have to admit, I dreamed about owning my own business- for about half a second. I never thought that it was something that I’d actually want, or be able to do. But, here I am!
