Celebrating Easter and Spring

Springtime is a perfect time to call us to capture your children’s smiling faces and Easter outfits! Usually at this time of year, we have some green buds on the trees and some kind of flowering tree that look beautiful in your photographs. Did you know that all of our photo sessions include an outfit change just in case you would like to get some photos that are a bit more casual and some photographs that are a bit more dressy?

Christmas Pictures in Taos

At this time of the year, we are SO busy taking family, children, and baby portraits for people to send with their Christmas cards! This lovely family came up to Taos from Espanola, and they were dressed for the season– even their dog had a Christmas sweater! A photo-shoot like this usually only takes about 45 minutes and we all have some good laughs while doing it. Call to schedule your Christmas card photos today!

It’s that time of the year! Now is the time to schedule your family portraits. Give the gift of a smile with a framed photograph, or order your Christmas and holiday cards directly through Poetic Images. Send greetings that are sure to bring joy to the receiver! Get in the spirit of the season and share your smiles today!

Modeling Shots for Nickelodeon!

Gaia is nine years old and an amazing little girl! She followed her photographer’s instructions without hesitation as she smiled her way through this photography session. Gaia loves to model and dance and sing. She made this modeling portfolio for Nickelodeon as she is pursuing an acting career where she can put her talents to work!

Summer Family Photographs

Poetic Images been photographing this family for over six years, what a joy to have such fun people for repeat business! During your family photo session, we will take photos of the group of you as a whole, individual photos of each family member, and “couples” shots (Mom/Dad together, mom/child together, dad/child together, children together, etc). We also encourage your family to bring a change of clothing for some more dressy photographs and some more casual photos as well.

Children at Taos Pueblo Pow Wow

“A pow wow is a gathering of Indian Nations in a common circle of friendship.
Indian Country is made up of many tribal nations, bands, villages, and pueblos, each with their own traditional tribal beliefs and practices. A pow wow is the common fiber which draws Indian people together. It is a time for sharing with old friends and making new friends; a time for singing and dancing. It is a time for trading; trading craft goods and trading songs.” –by Richard Archuleta (taken from the Taos Pueblo website)

A Mama, A Papa, and Two Beautiful Babies

Jessica and Mario are very busy parents of the cutest set of twins! Speaking as an experienced photographer, it is extremely difficult to get one kid to look (and smile) at the camera, what an extra challenge to get TWO children to cooperate! We all laughed as we chased around these kiddos, trying our hardest to get the kids in the right place at the right time. The fun never stops during family photography sessions!

Family Photo Fun!

Amanda and Jason will be wed in Taos at the end of June. In March, they were in town to do tastings for their wedding dinner and cake, it was a perfect opportunity for us to meet in person and take some engagement and family photographs!
I have some “tricks” up my sleeve to get children to look at the camera and smile. When I pulled out these “tricks,” little Emma got scared! Thanks to her big brother, Emma found her smile and this family photo shoot turned out beautiful.

Family Fun at Photo Session

The first photo shoot I did for this family is when Cielo was a newborn baby, that was over six years ago now! It’s hard to believe that I have been a business owner and photographer in Taos for seven years now, and before that a professional photographer in Albuquerque for three additional years. It’s hard to believe how the last ten years have flown!
Happy New Year to all of my clients, the young and the old. Thank you so much for making the last ten years of my life so special and so memorable–here’s to (at least) ten more years of smiles!!

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.
