These five families met in Taos, NM for an southwest ski trip, an extended family reunion, and a vacation! The giant (extended) family of 17 people stayed in a large adobe home in Talpa which they found found on Airbnb. The house comfortably fit all the family members. The cousin-gang was seven kids who were all under eight years old including a baby! Everyone was excited in the crisp morning air and although we had a few meltdowns, we managed to get some amazing family photos.
As families grow and life gets busy, it’s easy to let your professional photos go by the wayside. Our longtime client, Crystal, never fails to schedule her yearly family portraits with us, as a result she has years of documentation of her babies growing up! This year Crystal had a yellow theme with her kids in yellow bowties and flipflops. The sunflowers were stubborn as they wanted to face the sun but they still made a stunning backdrop along with Taos Mountain.
Family sessions generally consist of photos of everyone together, sibling shots, and individual shots of the children. We capture both the posed and candid shots, as we want to show the total lifestyle of your family interacting with each other along with the pretty side.
After the wet monsoons, Taos is always the most beautiful at the end of July. Daniela and Eric eloped to Taos, NM with the kids! This blended family said vows together affirming their new union. Dan Jones of Embracing Ceremony wrote the unique ceremony and officiated the late morning wedding ceremony. After some photos on the Taos mesa, we popped over to the Earthship for some photos of Eric crossing the threshold with his brand new wife. There is nothing like a New Mexico wedding!
Crystal and her boys were head to toe in Carhart and they look like models in the photos! We had to shoot this despite the cold 27 degree temperatures because our schedules couldn’t mesh any other day, and spring was on the way! The cold temperatures made the brothers silly and rowdy, by the end of our photo session both Robbie and Roman were exhausted!
I drove to the top of a mountain in Angel Fire, NM to reach the winter cabin this family stayed at! The temperature was definitely under 20 degrees but this troop of Texans and Arizonians didn’t complain and actually laughed and had fun as they had their images captured.
