Vista Grande High School Senior Shoot in Taos, NM

by Deanna | Jun 1, 2023 | Portraits, Senior Pictures, Taos

Casa Benavides is a beautiful and historic bed and breakfast in Taos! As a Taos photographer who has lived here for almost two decades, I am shocked I haven’t shot at this venue before. I had so much fun using the gorgeous art and beautiful blue accents in these senior photographs. The property is pristine with “Taos Blue” painted portals and vigas. The dining area and great room are brilliantly painted and the hand carved wood is traditional and unique. High school senior, Itzmir, is a brilliant student and a fabulous model. We had so much fun capturing her senior pictures at this Taos landmark. Congratulations to class of 2023!!

Senior Shoot at Taos Ski Valley

by Deanna | May 17, 2023 | Portraits, Senior Pictures, Taos, Taos Ski Valley

This senior shoot was a true adventure at the Taos Ski Valley! After William and I took many photos for almost two hours, we rode the chair lift up the mountain to get some final pictures with a view. As soon as we got off the chairlift, it closed down because lightening was detected nearby. So here we are at the top of the mountain with lightening and they advise us hike down. Upon consideration of safety, we were then offered a ride down by the lift operator, in an old suburban, which we were happy to take.

Class of 2022 — Taos High School Graduation

by Deanna | Jun 10, 2022 | Events, Portraits, Senior Pictures, Taos

The Taos High School seniors threw their hats into the air and the wind took them away: a perfect farewell for the class of 2022 who graduated during a windy and hot fire season.

The seniors in this graduating class have also endured high school during a pandemic with full on remote learning. It was emotional to hear Taos high school principal, CJ Grace, speak to the graduating class and honor the accomplishments.
