During a time when the wildfires were close, baby Tiana was born in Penasco, NM, less than 20 miles from the fire’s edge. Tiana’s family had a car filled with baby formula and diapers in case an evacuation was called. During a stressful time, baby Tiana was a very calm, corporative newborn! She endured many outfit changes and took quick catnaps so we could photograph both her sleeping and her beautiful eyes.

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.

Lindsay and Ryan took an Amtrak train across the country to elope in Taos, New Mexico! They chose to stay in a few different off-the-grid Earthships while they visited Northern New Mexico, and have their wedding ceremony in one! The Earthship Biotecture home was a beautiful spot for their morning wedding ceremony. Dan Jones wrote a unique ceremony which spoke about the earth and mountains around the community. Lindsay wore a dress that she crocheted herself and Ryan wore a seersucker suit because his made-to-order suit did not arrive on time. They laughed and enjoyed the struggles and triumphs it took to travel to make their wedding day happen. It was beautiful
