Senior portraits at the Rio Grande

It's time for high school senior portraits! I had the nicest evening with this beautiful girl and her mom. I first met her 3 years ago when her sister was a senior (evidently I never blogged that session but it was a pretty one).

In the meantime, I learned, she has been at the top of her class the whole time at Volcano Vista.

If all goes well, she will graduate valedictorian. I'm so impressed!

She and her mom were nice enough to give me some tips on best high school practice which will likely pay off in dividends in a couple of years.

I always love to incorporate instruments - her trombone in the patch of sunflowers was especially fun.

This is the image she chose to be framed for the living room wall. I love it!

Best wishes to this amazing senior - I hope her last year of high school is a huge success! I see great things in her future.

If you are interested in senior portraits, I'd love to chat with you and discuss it! We can meet in person or talk on the phone, or you can email me. I have more information about my senior graduation photography here, or if you like the locations we used for her senior portraits, you can see these and many more ideas here.

Summer baby portraits

As I was looking back on the sessions I enjoyed this last summer, I was searching for inspiration to get me motivated to blog again. How about some babies?

Aw... This little princess came for her 9 month old portrait session, and she could not have been more darling!

All of these portraits were taken at my home/studio. When it's nice out of course I try to do portraits outside, but sometimes it's really nice to do a few inside too.

This sweet little girl did such a great job! In the past she has been really shy, but this time she was more comfortable with me.

And she was just so darling with her new baby brother!

Another beautiful little girl on another warm summer day, with a little more use of my rose bush here. I love her crossy feet!

I love drawing on the stucco wall with chalk. Sometimes I have kids do their own drawings instead, but she is little for that.

I remember my babies playing with necklaces and music boxes, it seems like yesterday.

One thing I love about New Mexico is the fun doors - my husband painted our shed door after we took a trip to Taos and found some inspiration there. This little girl was so darling - she's growing up so much.

Thanks for joining me enjoying these sweet little ones and on a little tour of my back yard - I love using it for photography because it makes me keep it up when I might let things slide. I'm never ready for summer to be over!


If you're interested in a baby portrait session, I'd love to talk to you about it! Give me a call or email.

I have a bunch more baby photography, along with some info on my baby plan options, on this blog page - I offer four different options for baby photography collections. If you are interested for yourself, or if you have a friend or family member you might like to gift a collection to, I have an online magazine with more information that you might like to see. You can send me your email address below and I will email you a link right away.
