Baby twins - first birthday!

I met this family about 6 months ago, soon after they'd moved to Albuquerque. Their darling little girls just turned 1 year old and I had so much fun taking birthday pictures of them. How many pictures might I need to take, in an hour & 1/2 at their house, you might ask? TOO MANY :) - thus I'm posting just a few here... or maybe a really lot...



What could be cuter than twins in tutus looking out the window?














I love this one. The dog wasn't too enthusiastic about the idea, but their parents are amazingly patient - it took a few tries but was worth it!










The grass was kind of pokey, but she was a good sport.




They were excited to get the cake - it was so cute!




This little one was giggling and laughing as she happily ate more & more frosting.




And this little girl wasn't as into the cake as her sister, but she was so happy and funny! She kept walking away and being returned to her cake...


And she sat down on her hat for awhile, it was so funny!

Thanks so much for having me over to play with your girls, it was such a great afternoon! This is going to be a big DVD of pictures :)....

Family preview - in the bosque

This is such a great family - I met them this summer for this session and was so happy to meet them at the bosque for family portraits. It was really beautiful that day - the light was gorgeous - and I LOVE their outfits! I have a thing - I really like nice teenagers. Maybe I'm just being hopeful that my kids will be nice teenagers :) (they'd better be!) - but these are really nice boys and I enjoyed this session a lot.















And on another note, here's my husband with his politically-charged pumpkin... I can't resist posting this :)

More Old Town previews

I really feel so fortunate - I meet the nicest people in this job! This family was so friendly & comfortable to work with - it was really a pleasure. It was a beautiful evening in Old Town & we used the last bits of light until everyone was too hungry to pose anymore. The kids were great and the whole session was just nice. Thanks so much!

And I think I remember warning you that I was going to be slow with the gallery... I hope... probably another week or so. I just counted and I'm behind 9 sessions. I definitely overextend myself in the fall! I'm trying to get through one a day but don't always make it.

Family preview - Old Town color

I love this session. This is a good friend of mine and her family - the light was great, the kids were amazing, the color is beautiful.... I am out of time this morning so just going to post a bunch of images instead of typing... :)
