Maternity session at the park - {Albuquerque maternity photographer}

I loved everything about this beautiful maternity session.  (Except - getting to this park right now is totally difficult - all the streets that access it seem to be closed.  With some determination we managed to get there.)  I loved meeting this couple - I love their interaction and loved getting to see their relationship.  Thanks so much to them for sharing a bit of yourself with me.






















If you're interested in more information about a maternity or 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 parks like this one, but for lots of other session locations, see this blog page here.

Senior portraits with *color*! - {Albuquerque senior photography}

I'm almost done with my senior portrait posts... one more very patient girl is coming up, but not tonight (sorry!). Here's a really neat girl I met who wanted to use some of the great colorful walls we have in Albuquerque. We went all around town and I love the color we found.  It was a huge pleasure to meet her and her parents. She has so much poise - she made the whole morning a lot of much fun.

I love the blue and green - so happy she wanted to start here!




Her mom has a gorgeous Corvette.  I always tell seniors that we should do car pictures if they love their car.  I love it when people take me up on it.  This is my first Corvette. :)








I've been wanting to use this fence for a long time.  So happy to get to try it!  And I was right, it's perfect!




Obviously I can't get enough of this aqua wall.  (It will turn up again soon...)

More senior portraits, lots of fun - {Albuquerque senior photography}

I enjoy senior sessions every time - but this senior had me cracking up the whole time.  We went all over the place, even did some studio pictures too.  He played football and basketball and brought his snowboard (I love props!).  Right down to the correct goggles and hat. :)  He told me he wants to move to Colorado where the snowboarding would be even better - I know he'll be successful at whatever he tries!  Thanks so much to him & his great family!

















I loved the snowboard.


Here's my ring light again... love this.

Senior portraits in the evening light - {Albuquerque senior photography}

It's been so hard to keep evening appointments this spring - our Albuquerque spring wind really makes things difficult. I was so happy when this senior's evening session turned out PERFECT. It was warm out, no wind, and the light was beautiful. Obviously this girl would look gorgeous anywhere, but the light and the setting all came together really well.  I really enjoyed this session.  It's so fun to work with seniors that are confident, happy, and so photogenic too!


I loved that she specifically wanted pictures with her dad and brother. 




She had the best accessories I've ever seen!

Senior portraits at the pool - {Albuquerque senior photography}

I have been working on senior portraits like crazy!  The problem is that of course all the seniors need their proofs back well in time to order pictures to send with graduation announcements, which needs to be soon!  I booked more than I should have, and in fact if you're a senior wondering if I might have an available appointment, sadly, the answer is no.  So I am low on sleep but I'm having a lot of fun with these images.

This girl is a very competitive swimmer and in fact got a scholarship to UNM because of her swimming success and talent.  We met at West Mesa to do some pictures there.  We actually did a lot more pictures on other days in other places, but this is what's ready to post, and they have been waiting sooooo patiently that I thought I should post what I have.

I love the medals shot. :)










I brought my ring light to the pool.  Obviously I am excited about my new ring light. :)  And what a fun portrait!




Perhaps she was laughing at me, as I was trying not to slip & fall into the pool, while quickly walking alongside her as she swam?


Okay, who looks this gorgeous just after they step out of the water??? :)
