Wishing for a pretty yard... {Albuquerque child photography}

I am SO ready for it to be green out!  The weather feels like spring (including the horrendous Albuquerque spring wind) and there are spring bulbs blooming.  But everything is still brown & dry!  I can't remember the last time we had rain... could that be the problem? :) 

My daughter had been wanting me to take her picture, so we went out in the bare front yard for a few minutes.  She was so sweet and cooperative (any photographer will tell you that their own kids are usually the hardest to work with!) and laughed at my silly jokes.  I love her.  She is growing up so fast.

Her brother wanted a marshmallow too (that's how I bribe them to be in pictures for me).  I don't know how he eats with no front teeth!

They are such good buddies - I love this picture of them together.  He really does take care of her, and she adores him.

Newborn baby boy - {Albuquerque newborn photography}

This little guy was born a nice big size -he is just barely 2 weeks here (I think) and for sure looks big & healthy, not like a tiny newborn.  He slept perfectly, the whole time!  That doesn't happen very often - I loved it.  It's so fun to get to work with these sweet little people - a blessing in my life.

Southwest color for my friends who moved to... Washington DC??? {Albuquerque family photography}

In the last 2 months our family went on a fabulous vacation, came home, and 3 weeks later left on another fabulous vacation. It's been, well, fabulous! But now it's time to get back to every day life (my kids still pretend they're in a roller coaster every time we drive somewhere) and back to work.  If I ever get caught up (ha) maybe I will post some alligator or beach pictures.  Ah, I miss the warm sun!

Before I left, I think it was before I left the second time, I went with my friends to Old Town for some family portraits.  They just moved to Washington DC - I miss them already!  Their girls have been so much fun for me - they are really some of the sweetest little girls I know.  They were absolutely perfect for pictures, even though it was kind of colder than we'd expected.  Their dad is extra-funny and played some jokes with my hair that made them laugh.

There was some boogie-woogie going on here (I think that's what it was!)  Great dancing, girls!

If you're interested in more information about a family photography session, my website has lots of info about how I do sessions. Or you can call or email me if you have questions or would just like to chat about it.

I love doing sessions at great places like this, but for lots of other session locations, see this blog page here.

Darling six month old little girl - {Albuquerque baby photographer}

This little princess could not have been more fun! She was in & out in just a few minutes, complete with 2 changes of outfit!  (Which sometimes is hard for little ones.)  It was such a pleasure to see her & her parents again, they are great.  Six months old is a fantastic age for portraits - it's so fun when they can sit up and really interact with me or Mom & Dad.  I'm looking forward to seeing her again when she's turning one!
