A beautiful evening maternity photography session

This lovely couple is expecting their first baby next month. I was thrilled to meet them and work with them for these maternity portraits.

I loved the whole session, but especially the silhouettes (which tend usually to be my favorite).

Congratulations to this soon-to-be-growing family! I'm so excited to meet their baby soon!

If you are expecting a baby and are interested in maternity portraits, give me a call or email! I'd love to chat with you about a session of your own.

Senior portraits - why can't it be summer forever?

This was an absolutely lovely senior session with a beautiful girl that I really enjoyed meeting. It was a perfect summer evening and one of those sessions where everything came together just like you'd hope.

This beautiful girl has great style and the most gorgeous eyes!

She also has great plans for the future - one of my favorite parts of senior portraits is hearing about what direction they're planning to head next!

I love how confident she looks in these portraits!

See what I mean about her eyes? But I was really impressed with her, inside and out.

What did she and her family choose? They wanted the digital files along with copyright permission. This is probably my most popular package for senior portraits (which makes sense...) and it includes an 11x14" canvas wall hanging. Beautiful!

We can't all have senior portraits done on a beautiful summer evening like this, but if you are interested in senior portraits, I'd love to chat with you and discuss how to make yours the best they can be! 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 location we used for her senior portraits, you can see these and many more ideas here.

Senior portraits - high above Albuquerque

I've taken senior portraits in the East Mountains before. And I've been up to the top of Sandia Crest. But I've never done senior portraits up there before, and I loved it!

We started out a little lower down for some pictures with his truck. Love the gorgeous aspen trees! It's fall up high already.

I love using cars and trucks with senior portraits when seniors want to.

A little higher up is this gorgeous mountain meadow.

He had all the locations planned and the best props too.

And a little higher up we came to the city view. Amazing!

I'd never been to this stone hut before - such a cool place.

I always love to get a picture with Mom if I can - this was a surprise to her but I love it!

There is light at the end of the tunnel! Thanks so much to this amazing senior and his mom - I hope the rest of his senior year is a blast.
