Summertime fun - {Albuquerque children photography}

Whew, summer is going so fast! We had a great trip to Colorado, thanks to my family for all their support and love! Then a whirlwind week of shooting sessions, and now I'm again swamped in proofing. :) I hate that school starts so early here in August. So I'm going to try to be a fun mom for a couple of weeks, along with finishing as much work as I can!

To combine the "fun mom" thing and some work, I put up a "reading tent" in our back yard. I used it for a really fun family session which hopefully I will blog soon. And then we brought beanbags out in the back yard and read some stories. Only one of my kids wanted to be bribed with candy for a picture in the tent, but I thought they were really cute!

Beautiful girls at the park - {Albuquerque family photography}

This family was so much fun. We went to a local park and had a great time playing with their two darling little 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 photo sessions.

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

More wedding previews - {Albuquerque wedding photography}

I'm not sure how many proofs most photographers come home with after a wedding. But I came home with a. lot. I'm still going through them and there are some great images to share - and to give the bride & groom more previewing fun:

Summer minisessions - {Albuquerque child photography}

I had so much fun with our "bubbles on the grass" minisessions! I love doing portraits in my back yard, because we spend a lot of time trying to make it nice for portraits & it seems a shame not to use it! My amazing niece was here and did some photography with me.  And the families who came were fabulous - I mean, it was HOT and everyone was happy and a great sport about it.  Every group got such really fun pictures.  I'm just finishing most of them now - here are a couple sets.  It's a long post. :)

Wedding day! - {Albuquerque wedding photography}

I had the huge privilege and pleasure of photographing a really amazing wedding recently.  I loved getting to know the bride and groom - they are such truly good and nice and FUN people.  So I was really looking forward to their wedding day.  It went perfectly!  It takes awhile to process all the pictures from a wedding, so I'm going to start them off with some fun stuff from before the ceremony.

We met the bride at Arte de la Mano - they took great care of the bride and her friend!  They looked GORGEOUS when they were done!  I was very impressed.





The bride made this - very inspiring, I've just been loving netting...








Then it was on to the hotel where they finished getting ready.  LOVE the shoes!  (I think they hurt by the end of the night though...)










And many, many more to come!
