Maternity, swords, bears, karate, balls... {Albuquerque maternity family photography}

I think this will be my longest preview post ever. When you see the pictures you'll know why - this was a huge session with the most amazing family! We started out with some great family/maternity portraits. Their two kids.... I loved them! So photogenic, so expressive & full of fun!







And obviously Mom is gorgeous - and, a fun bonus for me, the Dad was a ton of fun! I love it when the Dad is happy to get pictures done. :)














All right, once we had some family portraits that I love, they got out the props. :) I've never had someone bring swords for pictures before, but I loved it. They had a list of outfits, props, and ideas, so that they could make sure to get everything they wanted. What a good idea!






A specific kissing picture, to match one from when their daughter was little.




I LOVE this suit. He looks so angelic, doesn't he?


I love her game face.


Tons of these - how to choose what to post???










And... a big bag of Care Bears! I love children's portraits when you can include what they love.


And balls! He could really catch too.














And one more quick sword picture. :) THANKS for coming - this was a ton of fun. Gallery coming soon!
