Website is UP!

As you may have noticed things around here have changed. Why? Well, because my website is done and live on the web! I must say web design is a lot of fun but very tedious, I think I'll stick to photography for my job. But I have to say it is a HUGE blessing having studied graphic design and learning a little of web design in the mix! Anywhoo, here it is!

Of course they had to drive off on a motorcycle, but you can't ruin that beautiful dress! SO Rachel added a zipper to her dress and had white capries underneath. Brilliant and creative!

I saw the sun was setting right before the dance party began so I grabed Rachel and Brandon (after much struggle, of course ;) ) and got some beautiful sunset shots!

The Beautiful Erin (Albuquerque Portrait Photographer)

We finally did it! Our first session was delayed, and our second was almost; but praise the Lord, we were able to skip around the weather! As always I asked if Erin had any fun boxes, or props, possibly her flute (wonderful flute player by the way!). Well sure enough she did!!!(Sadly though no flute)But the others were perfect! I think it might help that she lives with her grandparents and the fact that well old stuff is just great for photographs. Enough of my babbling and lets get to the goods! :)

P.S. Don't you LOVE her curly hair!?!?!? I do, I have a hair envy with her, one day we will trade because she likes my boring straight hair and I adore her natural bouncy curls! ;)

Whitney (Albuquerque Portrait Photographer)

I can sincerely say I have ever loved editing photos as much as I have editing Whitney's. I think it is because she is SOOOO gorgeous! ;) Overall though it was a fun shoot! The wind added some fun to it too with her hair being naturally "wind blown." I know Whitney was getting bothered by her "unruly hair" but I'd say it was more of a lovely disarray (which made for great candid moments, might I add).

Sometimes you just improvise in posing people, this was one of those times. Don't read too much into it, there was NOTHING in the box! I just thought it would be cute. ;)

Birthday Scavenger Hunt

Today my husband left the house telling me to not read a note on the door until I got home from my errand. Well, when I came home I read the note.



I then proceeded to look under the couch and found the next clue. I have to say I am TERRIBLE at scavenger hunts because I texted Josh soooo many times asking for help.




I was lead to the knives, the freezer, the fire place, under the mattress with the reference to the princess and the pea, of course, (which I googled because I completely forgot that story!), in the towels, under the coffee table, my desk...and under the the towels I found The Fall (one of our favorite movies) and after being lead to the desk I found the Terabyte External Hard Drive for my business!



I was also lead to the apartment dumpsters, my visor in my car, which had this clue (my personal favorite) on it:


I loved it because it was reference to the glove compartment! Good one Josh! :)

Another favorite of mine was when I was lead to a verse in a Bible. Josh's clue for that was "a book inside a book and poetry too"

The 21st clue I had trouble finding, but after coming to my senses (and Josh's help) I realized why Josh had hid a puzzle on the bookshelf...because it had a clue on it!!!



I put the puzzle together quickly, well actually too slow for it being a kids puzzle haha. Then on the puzzle it had my final and last clue!



After some silly digging I found these!!



This is all of what my day lead to...but I can't forget to mention the wonderful cookies Josh made me and the sweet letter attached to the shoes. :)


Thank you to my wonderful husband, he is a blessing from the Lord.

P.S. Photos of Whitney are coming soon!
