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!
Audrey and Robert had an intimate wedding ceremony at a Taos bed and breakfast, Hacienda del Sol. This couple walked down a unique aisle of green grass, created by absence of the beautiful autumn leaves that covered the rest of the Hacienda’s grounds. The mountains were a gorgeous backdrop to a perfect ceremony. Jimmy Stadler played acoustic guitar and there was a crisp autumn feeling in the air. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, there is NOTHING like a Taos wedding!
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.
