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.
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!
