Trail’s End in Angel Fire, NM is a perfect VRBO home for a family vacation! This log home is large and spacious with rocking chairs adorning the front porch. Outdoors the house is surrounded with the natural beauty of mountain life: wildflowers, stunning views, a beautiful fence, tall grass, and gorgeous light.
Although the fire season tried to steal our mountain views, the smoke only added to the silhouettes and light. We experienced a quick rain and captured that magic in our photos too.
Monica and George were married at the Angel Fire Overlook which is part of the Angel Fire Resort in Angel Fire, New Mexico. This local couple who live 24 miles down the road in Taos, NM, had their closest friends and family all come stay at the Angel Fire Resort for the night. The wedding ceremony was under a warm July sunshine and took place as soon as their Model T chugged up the mountain. The views of the mountain and the little Village of Angel Fire were clear and beautiful in the backgrounds. The altar was decorated with a artistic elk skull which symbolizes the couples’ love for hunting that they share. The wedding colors were blush and navy blue and the reception was held indoors at the resort. We stepped outdoors at sunset for a few quick romantic shots of the newlyweds. Congratulations to this wonderful bride and groom!!
The Call family is one big family! All five of the individual familiescame from five different states to meet up in Angel Fire, New Mexico for an extended family vacation! These travelers literally took planes, trains, and automobiles to make it out to this little mountain town. The 14 children and 10 adults all stayed in one rental home together and were ready when I arrived. Although we at times there was chaos, we captured some great photos and made precious memories for this huge family.
Cat and her family came to northern New Mexico from Texas for a snowy winter vacation, and it snowed and snowed! Beautiful conifers adorned the property surrounding their cabin and they were a gorgeous backdrop for these family portraits. Everyone suited up in their winter boots and we knocked this photo session out in 45 minutes which included a quick drive to capture the ski slopes in the background too. As soon as we were done with these pictures, the snow started up again. Cheers to a very snowy winter!!!
Everyone put up with a little brisk January wind to get these darling family photos! This family came to Angel Fire from Texas to snowmobile in the New Mexico mountains (which wasn’t possible because of the warm winter we’ve had). Although we have had so little precipitation this season, it was a treat to have a small area with some patchy snow to add a little more “wintery” feeling to these fun family portraits!
