Card (Albuquerque Graphic Designer)

'Tis the season to be getting married!! Today, I went to a bridal shower for a friend and made her this card. I was so happy with how it turned out that I wanted to share it with you all. :)

The background may look familiar...probably because it is one I took of her and her fiance a few months ago ;)

Pagosa (Colorado Photographer)

As I was organizing my files I came across some photos I forgot I had never posted! It's amazing how busy you can get with running a business you forget photos you just took for fun.

These photos are from a trip we took to Pagosa to go snowboarding for the last time of the season. It was an amazing day boarding, I unfortunately didn't bring my camera boarding so no awesome boarding shots, but maybe one day ;) BUT did catch an amazing sunset on our first evening there. Enjoy. :)

Shopping (Albuquerque Stock Photographer)

Every Monday I go grocery shopping at Trader Joe's. I'm serious in the fact that they really do compete and win with Wal-Mart, except it's organic! Whoo! I LOOOOVVEE strawberries, and now that they are in season I've been buying some every week. This week they had extra large strawberries that just make your mouth water. Sooo of course I had to share it with you all. Enjoy. :)

Clarus 2010 at Desert Springs Church ( Albuquerque Event Photographer)

This past weekend was SUCH a blessing. Randy Alcorn and Wayne Grudem came to DSC to speak about how Christians are to handle business and money with the perspective that our home is not here and our goal is to make the Lord known. It was a beautiful encouragement from the Lord.

Interestingly enough the other photographers that were supposed to come and take photos didn't show up, so Carolyn asked me to bring my camera and get some shots in before the weekend was over. So, here are some of my favorite photos from this weekend. Enjoy. :)

P.s. If you want to listen to the Clarus conference go to the Desert Springs Church Website to listen to the conference for free. (It may not be up for a few days so if you don't see in there check back in a few days or so)

I have to say, DSC is blessed with a very gifted and talented graphic designer. :)

New Business Cards! (Albuquerque Graphic Designer)

I finally got my new business cards in! I finished the design and sent them off last week. The reason for new cards? Well my old ones didn't feature any of my work, which is quite silly to have no photographs on a photography business card. Also, I do weddings and portraits so I thought it would be good to have two sets depend on the future client! Anyway here the are!

Touring with Abarham the Poor (Musician Photographer)

Being married to a musician has its many joys and blessings. One of them being that I get to go on tour with Abraham the Poor. A few weekends ago we went down to El Paso, Texas to tour. We were so blessed to stay with a friends sister who graciously opened up her house to us. The show went well considering some of the problems we occured before the show. Anyway, enough of my rambling, here are some of the photos from ATP playing.

p.s. if you would like to here ATP click here to go to their myspace page.
