Baby, oh Baby! {Albuquerque Baby Photographer}

I had such a fun time doing this shoot.  I don't usually photograph newborns.  But, when my best friend, who grew up next door to me, got her little girl, after two (darling) boys, I knew that it was a must!  We live three states away from each other, and don't get to see each other nearly enough!  But, it just so happened that I was going to be in town about a month after her little darling was born, what a perfect excuse to spend the morning together!  I had fun experimenting with different things.  And we had lots of fun gabbing!  Baby didn't really want to be asleep...we were too much to fun to hang with!  And then, when she did fall asleep she didn't want Mom to put her down!  Good thing she was so darn cute no matter what she did!    

Isn't her blessing dress gorgeous?  It was made by her dear aunt!

It has probably become apparent to anyone who keeps up with this blog, that I have a certain orchard that has become a favorite location of mine....especially when photographing my kids.  My rationing on the subject is due to the fact that I am kind of drawn to green, luscious, and alive.  New Mexico is more brown, spiky, and dirt.  I had been toying with the idea of this back to school shoot for my girls, but I was waiting till my apple orchard had some juicy red apples.  I was there last month with a family and we were met with many baby apples getting ready to ripen.  I would guess mid-September to late September would be perfect.  So, it came as a complete shock, when driving my daughter to preschool, to find apples littering the sidewalk in front of a house.  I thought I still had a few more weeks!?!  I rushed down to my orchard later that day to find EVERY. SINGLE. LAST. APPLE. GONE. Not even a few left on the ground.  Not even any trace that they had ever even been there!  Luckily, I had recently seen a back to school shoot on my friend Kellee Smith's blog and so I just took some of her ideas and tweaked them a bit and....

I am a total Spring-Summer girl at heart.  I love bare feet, warm summer nights, the beach, sand, ponytails... so I am having a hard time coming to grips with the fact that it is almost over.  The kids are out enjoying the last minutes of dusk playing in the yard...(sigh)....

It feels so good to be getting on top of all the editing I have to do.  It is amazing how much I *can* get done for the 6 hrs I have ever week that I am kid-less.  This shoot was done back in...July... These two cousins were awesome to work with, beautiful, funny, and great dressers!  Maybe I should hire them to be my shoot stylists....hmmm....  Thanks girls!  You were a blast to work with!

I saved my favorite for last.  I think this picture embodies what I love most about Summer...laying in the grass....(yes, not quite ready for Fall!!)

Normally I would apologize or at least feel a little bad for having such a huge blog post.  But this couple deserve every single picture!  Not only are they both drop dead gorgeous, but they just radiate their adoration for each other.  This session was from when I was so privileged to second shoot with the fabulous Vanessa Millecam.  They got married in the Salt Lake City LDS temple.  It was such a beautiful (all be it HOT day).  I had SO many images I had a hard time narrowing it down to this few to share with you! Enjoy!  Thanks so much Vanessa, next time we'll have to shoot in New Mexico :)
