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.
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.
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.
An engagement sitting is an excellent way for you to get to know your photographer before your wedding day. An engagement session is casual and low key and doesn’t carry the “pressure” that wedding day brings. I always encourage my clients to bring two outfits to their engagement shoot: something casual and something a bit more dressy, this way there will be a different “feel” to your photographs. I love to do many different poses, both traditional and contemporary. Engagement sittings can be done in our studio or at any location (indoor or outdoor) here in Taos, NM.
We are well into the new school year and I have been extremely busy shooting high school senior sessions! The seniors are always a blast to shoot; most seniors start out pretty nervous, but after a few minutes we are laughing and the smiles are genuine. I allow seniors to bring up to six different outfits to change into; I love seeing the different collections of clothing, shoes, and jewelry the students bring. I wish the class of 2012 a wonderful school year– I will see you at graduation!!
