Forth of July! (Albuquerque Photographer)

This 4th I had the blessing of hanging out with friends with the advantage of neighbors who well, lets just say their fireworks weren't exactly legal...BUT they made for great photographs!





I LOVE these fireworks, it reminds me of fairy dust!

My favorite of all the "big" fireworks....sometimes out of focus is a GREAT thing. ;)


The guys had a blast with experimenting with the fireworks...namely my husband,who thought it'd be awesome to lite fireworks to rocket off the slide...hahaha...boys will be boys especially when fire is involved.

They also shot rockets out of bottles, one of them bursted sending shatter glass flying. You can imagine the amount of screaming girls there was!



Good 'ole fountains, the least exciting but LEGAL!


I got some of the girls to "draw" with the sparklers, it was pretty fun once they realized they actually had to draw something and not just wave the sparkler around for it to create a picture. ;) But these are classics for sure!



The End! Fireworks are a BLAST!

Photos from Nebraska to come soon!

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. :)









My favorite subject. :D




album cover? haha

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! :)



These next two I are my favorite from the shoot.






Gotta love the sunflares! ;)










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! ;)

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!

Valentines Day...Tent Rocks

I've never been huge on Valentines day but Josh wanted to do something special so we ate pizza (our favorite) and then went to Tent Rocks! Hey! We had to burn off all the greasy pizza! And of course Tent Rocks is beautiful. So here are just a few photos from our little adventure. Enjoy!
