Albuquerque couple married at the Taos Ski Valley in October

Sabrina and Joshua were married at Taos Ski Valley in October. Their wedding elopement was on a foot bridge which was private and quiet. We found a patch of snow after the ceremony and shot the first snow-shots of this winter season! Joshua’s best dog was dressed in a necktie. Dan Jones officiated the ceremony for and the flowers were designed by Mercedes Valdez of Elegante Florals.

Oh My Dog!

Oh My Dog!

Many times there is a doggy-friend who, after the bride and groom, is the most important personality at the wedding. In our consultations, we often ask if there is a special animal friend who should be included in the photos, because we KNOW that is a picture that you will miss after your wedding if you don’t get it! Dogs are best friends, and dear family members and should be included in ALL celebrations, as these buddies would like to think! We’ve shot weddings where the dogs are the best men, maid-of-honors, ring bearers, and flower girls, and we’ve learned that some dogs take their wedding position very seriously. We’ve known weddings who have changed venues because their dog wasn’t allowed to walk down the aisle. We’ve photographed excited, anxious, and nervous dogs. Many dogs are camera shy! And we will never forget when the dog ran away, WITH the rings (no worries, she was found before the ceremony)!
So please, bring your dog and count on a few pictures with your baby. A dog is definitely a special and honored guest at a wedding when they are included. So here’s to wedding dogs and Happily Fur-ever After!!!

Small Wedding at Private Residence

Small Wedding at Private Residence

Taos is a popular destination wedding location for both large weddings and small, intimate weddings such as this one. This wedding started out with just four guests, but grew as more friends and family heard that these two were getting married in beautiful northern New Mexico. This couple rented a home that was large enough for everyone to stay together, and everyone helped with the wedding decorations and details. The weather was cooperative and the sky was so photogenic. The bride carried silk flowers with turquoise accents. The golden retriever (and dog-of-honor) only stepped on the bride’s dress once. All is well that ends well…happily ever after….

This incredibly shy doggy did a great job during her parents’ photo shoot! At Poetic Images, we love 4-legged friends and always encourage you to bring ALL of your family members to your family photo sitting!

Portraits of a New Baby

Portraits of a New Baby

This gorgeous new baby came into the world at the end of May and was only six-weeks-old for this shoot. In 14 years of shooting, I have never had a 6-week-old smiling on-command! This baby also rolls over already…what an advanced little model! We had fun with little Maya, and after the shoot her sister, Luka (the dog), wanted to get some professional portraits in a tutu too!
We love shooting at your home for these new baby shoots. Not only does it make the baby more comfortable but it helps mama not have to leave home as well! If you are pregnant, schedule your baby’s first shoot now!
