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.







I'm in love with the owl hat!
























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!

Operation Love family portraits - {Albuquerque family photography}

I was honored to meet this great military family - the dad was about to be deployed and they came for some family portraits.  (Then I left on vacation and took forever to post their session, my apologies...)  They are so much fun - I really hope they love these pictures.

For more information about Operation Love sessions, you can see their website.

More baby birthday cake - {Albuquerque baby photography}

We just got back from an amazing vacation to Florida, and I'm scrambling to get my act back together. :)  I have lots of sessions to process, but since I've been neglecting blogging lately I thought I'd post a few from this little princess's session earlier this month.  She is so gorgeous!  She's always been so smiley and happy, and this session was no exception.  She just turned 1 year old, so we did some pretty portraits first, and then got out the cake!









I don't think I've ever gotten so many perfect pre-cake-destruction pictures.  She was happy AND patient!  She kept eating & never had a melt-down (which often happens with cake pictures, maybe they are just too much fun or too much pressure or something :) ), with huge smiles all the time (which doesn't always happen either - sometimes babies are really serious about their cake!).  Too many to post, but here are a few that I loved.

Baby birthday cake - {Albuquerque baby photography}

I have been having so much fun lately with babies! This little guy just recently turned 1 year old, so we had a birthday cake session. One of my very favorite sessions to do! It's especially fun when they like the cake :) (which doesn't always happen) - he was enthusiastic and happy to the end. What a good boy! 

Smiley baby princess - {Albuquerque baby photographer}

I can't believe it's February already! How did that happen? :) I definitely had my busiest January ever, but I've been keeping up pretty well. I recently did these portraits - that I LOVE - of this darling little baby. She is 6 months old and smiled the whole time she was here.
