Week 21

Take me out to the Ballgame!

Week 20

She’s got the moves!

Whats in a name?

I have a friend who is a fellow photographer.  She photographs mainly newborns and their siblings.  Lately I have astonished by the uniqueness of some of the names of these kids:  Taggard, Sawyer, Dayton, Porter, Brexlee, Kensington, Sinclair, Broderick, Presley, Bentley….  I was convinced for a while that she MUST be making them up!

It got me thinking a little about my website.  For obvious reasons, I don’t use names of anyone under 18.  So, there are a lot of “A” families or “Baby B’s”.  HOW boring!  And, there are only so many letters in the alphabet before you start getting something like: “the AA” family, and that might make their friends and family wonder! So, I have decided that I am going to do what I thought my friend had done, and make up names.  I think this will make the website all that more exciting.  I think I will call my kids "Lily" and "Daisy" which just happen to be two of Lily's favorite names right now!  

So, don't be surprised if you go to see your Seniors pics and her name has been changed to McIntosh or Hayze!

Beautiful Bridals {Albuquerque Wedding Photographer}

You might have noticed an increase of weddings and a decrease of…well, everything else!  I have, over the last few months, really been trying to figure out where my true passion lies…and the answer is weddings.  Last summer I shot my first bridal session and I LOVED it.  I couldn’t stop!  We went way over the hour and I came home with over a hundred images!  There is just something so magical about that time in life.  When you find that someone that completes you and makes you happier than you have ever been!  I love working with couples who are so in love with each other!  A wedding (hopefully!) only happens once in your life, and I love to capture those special moments to treasure forever.  So, over the last few months I have been working to build up my wedding portfolio.  While I am still going to do families, kids, seniors, etc….I will be putting most of my focus at this time into weddings.  So…if you know anyone who is getting married, kindly send them my way!  I would love to share their special time with them!

        Ali is a fellow photog here in Albuquerque.  I was honored that she let me capture her special time in her beautiful wedding dress!  I was a little worried that she would be intimidating, since she has been in the business longer than I…but she was a total blast to work with…and easy as pie to pose!!  Thanks Ali!  I hope you like them! 

Week 19

I don't know what it is with my kids and shoes, but they just can't seem to get them on the right feet! I thought that the problem would be cured once it was flip flop season...not so, the 2 yr old even manages to get her flip flops on the wrong feet! HOW does one do that!?!  

I took this shot the other day when we were visiting oldest daughter school classroom.  I looked over and younger daughter had her flip flops on the wrong feet, so I told her to check her shoes.  This is how she checked them!  Funny kid!

Week 18

Sping into Weddings!

Love in Bloom!

What a difference two weeks makes!  What was once a beautiful orchard filled with apple blossoms is now a beautiful green orchard with only a handful of blossoms!  I blame it on the fierce New Mexico winds that nearly blew us all away the day before!  

This couple was so much fun!  So in love!  They are off to Vegas in a few days to tie the knot!  Don't let their summer like attire and happy faces fool you though, it was FREEZING!  Wow.  Thanks for the laughs guys!  Oh, and what do you think?  Is he Ewan McGreggor's long lost twin or not??
