It is one of my favorite types of graphic design work. So, in planning for one of my best friends bridal showers I designed these guys!

Pecos NM

This weekend my husband and I, along with an entire film crew, went up to Pecos to finish shooting my husband's music video. It was a bit of a crazy weekend, but absolutely beautiful up there. Here are just a few photos. :)

The director of photogrpahy for the video let me play with some of his sweet lenses. Including his lensbaby....which was extremely challenging to use, but I kinda like this photo even though it is out of focus.

Rebecca & Ryan | Enaged (Albuquerque Wedding Photographer)


This past weekend I meet up with Rebecca and Ryan to do their engagement photos. They are such a perfect match. They both are extremely easy going and laid-back. They are that couple that just fits each other so well, and you can just see that in their interactions together. I loved capturing them as they are and cannot wait to be apart of their wedding day!



We took some photos around Rebecca's home, which was beautiful. Then, we went down to the bosque where Ryan orginally purposed. It was a trench to get down there, really, through the river and over the...sand hills haha...ok their weren't any hills but a lot of deep sand. I think I got a work out taking photos of them! haha

Sophia | Ballerina (Albuquerque Ballet Dance Photographer)

This session was amazing! One completely worth all the trouble we went through. Although, looking back it really is quite comical.


First let me tell you how our day started out. Sophia and I were supposed to meet at Starbucks of I-25, well there are two of I-25. Guess what? We ended up at the two different ones. Then I got a call from Sophia saying she locked her keys in her car along with all her dance clothes. We then waited for her mom to bring her spare keys. Then, on top of it all it began to rain.


Her mom arrived with the keys and sophia got dressed. We were determined to do this despite everything.


Then, you seriously couldn't believe this, my car wouldn't start. Haha, I know right?


So, we hopped is Sophia's car. Drove downtown to our location and began the photoshoot. Thankfully it had stopped raining and made for some amazing lighting!


Then my camera battery died, and so did my spare.


I'm serious here.


It was 345 and our original plan was for Sophia to go to dance after to be greet by all her friends for a suprise birthday party once she got home. But miss Sohpia was too tired go to dance. So in a plan B we stopped for a snack and charged my batteries.


It worked out great because I needed to burn time til 630 for when the party started and Sophia hadn't had time for lunch!


So we drove to Uptown and finished our shoot, right at 630.


Phew. I know, it wore me out, but like I said, it was an amazing shoot! Now, enough with my poor story telling skills and on to the beautiful photos!


She has the MOST beautiful blue eyes, and the blue stormy sky in the background...God just blessed this so much!

The sun began to come out and the storm still went on towards the mountains. As you can see this made for some gorgeous natural lighting!

Uptown was a different story, mostly because there was people staring at her, which just made Sophia a rock star. ;) She was such a trouper!


Oh, how I love this one!!!
