Fall fun

This was a session that I did back in November.  I have known this family, well, as long as they have been a family!  "Mom" is my cousin!  So, we go waaaaaaay back!  When they oldest two were just babies I babysat them every day for one summer.  It was so much fun!  Now here they are all grown up and going on missions for their church.  Way to make a girl feel old!  It has been so fun to watch all of them grow up into such talented, adorable, and fun young adults!  Oh, and speaking of "cute" my 5 year old has developed quite the crush on oldest brother!  She carries their Christmas card around and tells everyone that he is her boyfriend!!  Aye Aye Aye!

Superman...

I have been dying to share this image.  I had this idea in mind..and was able to snap this pic when doing a Halloween photo shoot with Little Man.  I framed it and gave this to Hubby for Christmas.  Love!

Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas!

I first met this family a year and a half ago when Little Girl was almost 1.  It has been fun to watch her grow up from just crawling around, to extremely shy, to little Miss Sassy!  What an adorable girl so full of personality!  And yes, I thinks he does have that Daddy of her's wrapped around her little finger!  

A Christmas Session...

One of my favorite things about Holiday Sessions is the guarantee of seeing some of my favorite clients.  If I haven't seen them sometime throughout the year it is always a special treat to see how much their cute kiddo's have grown and changed over the year!  The W family was my very first clients 4 years ago.  A free photo session on Craigslist has turned into a treasured friendship.  I simply adore this family.  Mom is such a great Mom.  You can see it in how well behaved her children are!  You couldn't ask for more photogenic, friendly, well behaved kids to photograph!  Of course, it doesn't hurt that Miss Teresa always has skittles tucked away in her pockets for good smiles!  And those kids sure keep me on my toes reminding me that they have earned another skittle!  Thanks for making my job so enjoyable W family!  

BABY P

Well, hello there!  I hope you are all enjoying the Christmas season!  I have had a lot of sessions the last month or so that I am dying to share....But, I never want to spoil the surprise of someone's Christmas card before they get a chance to send them out!  So, instead, I will share with you this little doll!  

Baby P is 6 months old and was such a delight to shoot!  We opted for a "lifestyle" session in Baby P's house.  These are some of my favorite to shoot.  It seem like the babies especially are so much more comfortable in their own environment and they warm up to the idea of a big black eye ball in their faces a lot faster ;c)  Baby P was full of smiles and very inquisitive!  Such a cute baby!

I usually lean towards color in my editing.  But, I just converted these all to Black and White for the cd, and I fell in love them them as well!  So, I decided to stray from my norm and post the session entirely in black and white!  Crazy times I tell ya! ;c)  (Oh, and it looks as though Blogger has gone and changed itself up again so parts of my photos or cut off!  Grrrr.  Guess I will have to find the time to figure that out later!)

Thanks for sharing her with me Mommy P!

Birthday Girls {Albuquerque lifestyle photographer}

Every year I have such good intentions for getting my Girls b-day pictures done around their birthdays...in June and August.  But, this summer was again just so crazy that it wasn't until last weekend that I actually got around to doing them!  I figured I might as well crank all the editing out this weekend and just get er' done! 

(Blogger keeps rearranging all my pictures!!!  So...in NO particular order.....)

Of course Little Man had to get in on the action too!

I have trained this baby right!  Whenever I pull out the camera he comes up to me saying "cheeeese!"  So, I couldn't resist snapping a quick pic!

K turned 5 this year and is in Kindergarten.

S turned 8 this year and is in 3rd grade.  It took an entire year, but her two front teeth are finally coming in!

Little Man has only been walking for about 2 weeks now!  I love the tipsy little walk!

Of course we had to go over to the water jets!
