Four Generations - Family Photos - Nov. 2020

Family photos are always a special occasion but this was an extra special shoot that included four generations! Thats right… baby girl, mom, grandma and two great grandmas! Capturing the older generations with the newest generation is such a great idea and everyone will be delighted to have the photos for decades to come.

Mommy to Be - Maternity - Nov. 2020

Oh my goodness…. how stunning is this Abq. mommy to be! This shoot was so much fun I love these photos and can’t wait to do more in the future. Mom was such a trooper when the evening turned out to be colder than we expected but we got some amazing shots and she earned her hot cocoa!

The Last Leaves of Fall - Family Photos - Nov. 2020

Happily Ever After - Wedding - Nov. 2020

One thing about the Covid-19 situation is that is has really made people creative. This lovely couple who had postposed a spring wedding had the FANTASTIC idea of getting their bride and groom photos done BEFORE the wedding. I love this idea for so many reasons. First, wedding days even when smooth can be stressful. Why not book where you and your groom can relax and enjoy a full hour of portraits instead of trying to cram them in-between vows and cake? Secondly, you have more control of location and time. This couple was able to take advantage of the last of the fall color and the golden hour and we captured some amazing shots! Lastly, you can share the photos at the ceremony and reception, they make lovey decorations and talking pieces. Beautiful photos are also a way to share a special event with those who can’t be here right now and makes even distant relatives feel included.
I love creativity! Elopements, first looks, unique weddings… tell me your ideas, together I’m sure we can make it magical!

Fall Family Photos - Bosque - Nov. 2020

November is here already and in Thanksgiving tradition: I am thankful for all my clients and I especially love when I get to work with the same families several years in a row. Seeing your kids grow and change is such a blessing. But even more than that it means so much to me that you clients trust me with their family photos and memories!

Snow Day - Oct. 2020

It’s not often that we get the opportunity to take photos in the snow here so I was super excited when I saw three days of snow in the forecast. It’s so much fun to try something new!

Happy Birthday Baby - Bosque - Oct. 2020

I was lucky enough to work with one of my favorite families again this year, this time capturing a beautiful first birthday photoshoot and a cake smash! It was a glowing evening and I can’t be happier with how well these turned out. Of course my job is easy when I have such an easy and beautiful baby to work with!


Happily Ever After - Wedding - Sept. 2020

Due to the restrictions on gatherings this couple had to change their plans for their big wedding. Their family pulled together and hosted a beautiful backyard ceremony and small reception and we had the opportunity to get glowing bride and groom photos thanks to the California wildfire smoke… when life gives you lemons right?

2nd Birthday Photos - Old Town Plaza - July 2020

This is my second time photographing this beautiful baby and I just love her amazing smile! She is so sweet and fun to photograph I can’t wait to see her again for her 3rd birthday!


Family Photos - Sagebrush Bosque - July 2020

Good things come to those who wait… due to everything going on this spring and summer we had to reschedule and postpone this family’s photoshoot for almost seven months. But it was definitely worth the wait and we had the most fun family portrait session with two adorable kiddos and perfect weather.

Senior Photos - Sagebrush Bosque - July 2020

One of my favorite questions clients ask me is: Can I bring my dog? Yes! I love dogs, I love working with dogs and I love capturing the special friendship between dogs and their owners.

Equine Portraits - Bosque Farms - April 2020

In addition to portrait sessions I also offer equine shoots, either with just the horse or with horse and rider. Black backgrounds are an especially stunning way to show off your equine partner!

Family Portraits - Bosque - March 2020

Little did we know when we were walking through the Bosque on a perfect March evening that we would all be in for a big shock the next day when the whole world (or so it seemed) would shut down. When I look back on this photoshoot it will always be a little surreal. Watching these adorable boys running through the amber lit fields it became a real, “Catcher in the Rye” moment.

Senior Portraits - Old Town Plaza - Jan. 2020

My second senior shoot to kick off the new year was a bit different. Amadeo did not want the traditional nature shoot. He wanted urban and edgy. I think we pulled it off and really showed off his unique aesthetic.

Senior Portraits - La Cueva Stone Cabin - Jan. 2020

It’s a new year! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. I’m back it with two senior sessions. The first was shot at the La Cueva Stone Cabin and perfectly captured this young man’s personality with a subtle western feel.
