Fall Leaves and Love

After a few cold nights in Taos, we were worried that our “autumn leaves” photo shoot would be a bust! We found some brilliant colors in the gardens of the Henningsen Fine Art Gallery. The pond reflected the yellows beautifully, the leftover berries brought color and texture to the bare trees, and the leaves on the ground were so photogenic as a background!

Autumn in the Bosque

The fall foliage at this time of year is brilliant! I photographed this engagement sitting down in the trees by the Tamaya Resort in Bernalillo, NM. The orange and gold leaves on the trees gave our photos a beautiful autumn feel.

Autumn Wedding Celebration

This couple took advantage of the beautiful autumn season here in Taos, NM. The fall foliage was at the height of their colors; the oranges and golds radiant in the photographs. The early sunset and cool temperatures gave the evening a wonderful fall-time feel.

Photos of a High School Senior in Penasco, NM

August, September, and October are busy months for Poetic Images because of all of the high school senior portraits we do! Our “senior pictures” sessions last about an hour and a half and we shoot approximately 100 digital photographs during that time. We encourage seniors to bring up to six different outfits so we can capture the spirit of the student in clothing that mom/dad like AND clothing that the senior likes. We take photos of both traditional and contemporary poses so there are pictures that suit everyone’s taste!

Fall Leaves Create the Wedding Aisle

Audrey and Robert had an intimate wedding ceremony at a Taos bed and breakfast, Hacienda del Sol. This couple walked down a unique aisle of green grass, created by absence of the beautiful autumn leaves that covered the rest of the Hacienda’s grounds. The mountains were a gorgeous backdrop to a perfect ceremony. Jimmy Stadler played acoustic guitar and there was a crisp autumn feeling in the air. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, there is NOTHING like a Taos wedding!

Children’s Portraits On-Location in Taos

Both Coco (four months) and Lola (three years) had so much fun in the crisp fall air for their autumn portraits. While I photographed Coco, Lola ran around a played in the grass and leaves; when I photographed Lola, Coco loved to watch Lola and every move that Lola made. I believe it’s important to choose a location for that is ideal for your family. If you have a high energy three year old, I usually recommend taking your photographs on location at a site where the child can run around an not be constrained for more than a few minutes at a time. For small babies and newborns, I love using our indoor studio and fluffy blankets to cater to your little one’s warmth and comfort.

Autumn in Albuquerque, NM

About once a month, I drive to Albuquerque to take care of clients who are not able to make it up to Taos. Driving only an hour or two away can sometimes make a huge difference in the way of weather. While the leaves had been falling off of the trees for several weeks in Taos, the backgrounds in Albuquerque were still green!
This photo shoot was done at Los Poblanos Farms in Los Ranchos de Albuquerque. The mums add a perfect feeling of autumn and these kids were dressed in lovely fall colors as well.

Family Portraits for Holiday Cards

Vanessa was thinking ahead when she scheduled an appointment in September for “whenever the leaves are golden in October.” We kept a good eye on those leaves and I believe we got amazing results! Now is a perfect time to coordinate your family schedules and get together for a family portrait! Family portraits are not only a fantastic way to preserve memories, but also a great way to share your family’s smiles with your loved ones. It’s not too late to get photos for your Christmas and holiday cards… Give us a call!

Fall Wedding by the River

There is nothing like a beautiful New Mexico fall foliage wedding on the banks of the Rio Grande. Rachel and Warren were married with a gorgeous backdrop of the river and lovely fall colors. They adorned the property with pumpkins and created the aisle with golden aspen leaves.
