A HUGE thanks to The Taos News for choosing Poetic Images by Deanna’s photography to adorn the 2013 wedding guide! We are honored and humbled. An additional THANK YOU to the Taos community for supporting us over the last 10 years!! Here’s to another outstanding wedding season!
The most common background color request for photographs is green. But I love wintertime photographs. The brown grasses and the white snow bring so much contrast to this couple’s engagement photos. Additionally, the bright and vivid colors in the clothing definitely add “pop” to each image. If you can bear the colder weather, the winter photo-shoot is the way to go!
At this time of the year, we are SO busy taking family, children, and baby portraits for people to send with their Christmas cards! This lovely family came up to Taos from Espanola, and they were dressed for the season– even their dog had a Christmas sweater! A photo-shoot like this usually only takes about 45 minutes and we all have some good laughs while doing it. Call to schedule your Christmas card photos today!
“A pow wow is a gathering of Indian Nations in a common circle of friendship.
Indian Country is made up of many tribal nations, bands, villages, and pueblos, each with their own traditional tribal beliefs and practices. A pow wow is the common fiber which draws Indian people together. It is a time for sharing with old friends and making new friends; a time for singing and dancing. It is a time for trading; trading craft goods and trading songs.” –by Richard Archuleta (taken from the Taos Pueblo website)
“The dance competition for women and men is broken down by age group and dance style. These include for men, the traditional, fancy, grass, and most recently, chicken dances; and the women, the traditional, fancy shawl, and jingle dress dances. The “traditional” dance style can sometimes be separated or combined into a Northern and Southern dance style. Age categories include: Golden, Adult, Teens, Juniors, and sometimes Tiny Tots.”
