Snow Days (Daily Life with a Photographer)

Today it actually snowed in little desert Albuquerque! It is so beautiful when it snows here..or well anywhere in my opinion! Anyway I ventured out to grab a few shots. :)



One of my dreams as a photographer would be to photograph a wedding or have a session while it is snowing.

Gillen Family (Albuquerque Family Photographer)

Last weekend I photographed my family! It was pretty fun, but we only could do a few with my dad's hurt knee...but I'm glad with how the came out! To take Josh and I's photos I gave my sister my camera and gave a 1 minute crash course on DSLRs ...haha..they turned out pretty decent. :) I'll give her a B+.



I was soo glad we got Brant (my sister's boyfriend) to smile...He isn't a fan of pictures at all.


My parents thought I was crazy when I was telling them how to pose...but they'll be glad for my suggestions!

So silly..I love my sister's eyes in this picture. She has SUCH beautiful eyes!

Love!

Christmas Baking & Tree

We finally got our tree decorated (thanks to my wonderful mother & sister who recently went on a trip shopping and found cute decor for us.)


This week my husband and I made sugar cookies! Last night we finally had time to decorate them. As you can see all the fun cool decorated cookies are my husbands doing...mine were all pretty lame haha...I was excited to try out my new macro filters...they are sooo wonderful!

Mine...haha





Josh eating the ugly ones first haha

So handsome!

The Birrell Family (Albuquerque Family Photographer)

The Birrell's are such an adorable family! All red-headed and freckled, their little one, Ava, is a cutie! Unfortunately, she was a little cranky during our shoot but we still managed to get a few smiles out of her.





During the shoot I asked Kelly what games she likes to play, she told me peak-a-boo. Kelly put her behind a bench we were at and started to play with her. Ava began to cry but couldn't help the urge to play. Despite the tears she would hunch down behind the bench and pop-up. It was very funny.


Soon after playing peak-a-boo we ran across some dogs playing and Ava was in love instantly. Mom and dad said she just LOVES doggies.
