Santa Fe Stylin!

This past weekend I went to Santa Fe with my Bff Jill to meet up with my friend from Alamogordo NM, Dena Curran to photograph her for her upcoming fitness competition. A beautiful day, great swimsuits, gorgeous model, & a heated pool made for some wonderful shots! Thanks to Dena for being a great sport & Jill for lighting her up & giving some great ideas too! :)

Senior Session

I was very honored when I photographed Madeline for her senior portraits. What a beautiful young lady! She is so bright! I see big things for her in the future whatever she decides to do! :)

Coming to a Town Near you!

I will be in Virginia 6/24 - 7/22. I will be taking photography sessions while I am in town. Contact me if you are interested! :)

Play Dates are Fun!

Last week another photographer & I took her kids to a new little spot I found with some outfits I wanted to try out. It was sooo cute to see them dressed up with a little twist of vintage! Thanks again to Danette for loaning me her cute kids!

Oh how I love little Newborns!

This past week I felt very lucky to photograph not one but two little ones. A little girl and a little boy. It's been a while since I have blogged on here. Must catch up. I guess since moving I haven't had a whole lot of new business here in the Springs. Hopefully things will pick up soon as things are warming up. I hope to go home to Virginia this summer along with California for a visit! If you are interested in booking a session send me a note! ;)

Getting Back Into the Swing of Things

I was fortunate enough to have the chance to play with Baby M today. Such a sleeper! She was born on 10/30 so the fall cornucopia shot was a given. We must have played for about 3 hours with her & she slept it through for the most part. Such a little trooper she was! Big thanks to her & Mom for their patience!

Yesterday!

What a fun day I had yesterday! Sushi in Cruces & photo session in Tulie! I worked with the Brandt family and being a photographer herself she knew just what outfits to bring! Bright fun pinks & orange! That seems to be a very hot color combo right now!

Time really does fly!

It seems like yesterday I met Patsy while living in Colorado Springs & working for Ford Credit. She mentioned that she was originally from Alamogordo NM. Who would have known that I would one day live in her hometown! Since living here I have been fortunate enough to see her when she visits family & now we are preparing to move back to Colorado where I hope to see even more of her! Her daughter Alyssa has literally grown up overnight it seems. She just finished high school & is now heading off to college in Kansas. I'm so glad that we have remained friends over the years after all I have been gone from Colorado for 7 years! Can't wait to do lunches & coffee again soon! Now if we could just get our house sold that would be a big load off of our minds! :)

Where does the time go?

Just realized I have not updated this blog since Jan! Yikes! The time has flown by & now I am preparing for a move to Colorado Springs, CO. I am very excited to see old friends & make new ones. About a week or so ago the local photo group met up at White Sands & I asked Amy to help us out by modeling for us. I brought some wings & another member, Douglas, brought this umbrella. I asked Amy to stand at the top of the dune & raise it up. I was very happy with the shot as I am posting it here. It has a Mary Poppins feel to it! The light from the sunset was amazing! Not too mention we almost thought we were going to be rained out & the weather turned out perfectly!

This week I worked with Amy, a local model here in Alamogordo. It's always fun to work with her, not too mention she has some amazing eyes! Here are a few that were my faves from the session!

The First Fall Wedding

Last weekend Tina & I drove to Lajitas TX to shoot Mitch & Melissa's wedding. The location was gorgeous! The flowers, dresses & Bride were beautiful. It was such an honor to capture their special day!

I guess I have been busy!

I just realized that I have not updated my blog since July! Been to CO, CA & back home here to NM. Next trip will be for a wedding in Lajitas TX on Oct. 3! Another wedding on the 10th then heading to Richmond VA on 10/13/09 till 11/1 to visit family & friends! Can't wait for that! Just going to post a little bit of what I have been working on lately.

Going to Colorado Springs for a visit!

Well I am about to take a break from the heat wave in this town of Alamogordo! Heading north for some fun & good times in CO! Can't wait to catch up with old friends & take some snaps! Hopefully will have some good stuff to share when I return! Until then, I leave you with this cute little guy I took a couple weeks ago!

Babies babies babies!

Went with a friend that had a newborn session & caught this shot of the sweet little newborn baby girl. My friend Livia made the hat. She has mad crochet/knitting skrills! Alamogordo Photo meetup is tonight & should be fun as we are shooting at a barn!

Life is a Carnival!

So last weekend I met up with 2 fellow photogs & a model at the Carnival that was in town. We told her to dress a little wild & she hit the nail on the head. We had a great time photographing her around the carnival! The people working the carnival were very accomodating!

April is flying by! Soon it will be May!

April is almost on it's way out! This year is passing quickly. I think due to in part being busy! Which is always a good thing! Last weekend I photographed a military family that is facing a deployment. It was an honor to photograph them knowing the sacrifice they make. I loved this shot included above! This week I had a cute little 6mos old, a high school senior, & a family session this weekend. I have a lot of work to get done before my big roadtrip to VA for my little Sister, Ashley's college graduation from VCU. I can't wait to see my family & some friends while we are in town. Also will have some shooting opportunities too! Should be lots of fun!

Sweet Sweet Baby!

I had the honor of photographing this little cutie yesterday with another photographer friend. She actually made the cocoon shown in this picture! So Sweet!

Things have been busy & now it's time to take a breath!

The last couple of weeks I have been swamped! Babies, Families, Engagements & weddings! It's been a lot of fun. This past weekend I was able to take a breather & went with my fellow photog friend Tina to Tularosa to shoot model Amy. It was super windy that day but Amy was a total trooper! Tax time is just around the corner & I am trying to do my own taxes this year with turbo tax. Kind of scary! LOL!

Sweet Little Baby!

Yesterday I was so honored to photograph little D. He was the sleepiest newborn I have ever worked with! He was too cute for words. My neighbor made the blue cocoon & hat. I really like how it all looked with the new little guy! Thanks for looking!

The Sacrifice of Those Who Serve

Yesterday I had the honor of photographing a military family from Ft. Bliss in El Paso, TX. Military families send their loved ones off to deployments and carry on the daily tasks that need to get done at home. Freedom isn't free and you have to remember there are costs, like time with your family. Those that serve their country protect us & keep us free. Take a moment & thank those Military members & their families for making the sacrifice of time away from their loved ones so that we may be safe.
