Sunrise Hike

In my opinion there is no better time for a maternity shoot than at sunrise. Not only is it beautiful and symbolic of a new day, it is also a great way to escape the Albuquerque heat. Oh….and get to see the hot air balloons taking off. This beautiful Mommy-to-be hiked to the top of […]

Great Expectations

There is something extra special about the pregnancy of your first child.  It is hard to explain in words…I just know that when I photographed this beautiful couple, they radiated the feeling I remember. A sort of calm, anxious, loving feeling. Climbing that tiny tree was totally worth it when I captured this image. Next […]

Sweet Surprise

I love it when clients want to surprise their loved ones with photos. This Mommy-to-be decided to surprise her husband, who is deployed until November, with some maternity photos. This photo happens to be my favorite because it combines all the things her husband loves. Car. Wife. Baby girl. (probably not in that order though […]

Want to help this family update their walls with pics of their newest addition? Leave a comment with your congratulations, your favorite pic, or just to let this […]

Sunshine

Dressed in a bold, blue dress and yellow scarf, she looked so beautiful and was truly glowing…like sunshine. I knew a […]

Big Brothers

“A treasure to a little boy does not consist of money, gems or jewelery. He will find far greater pleasure in the wonder of a rock, pebble, stick or beetle.” — Author Unknown This was very true for these two little guys. They made cheeseburgers from leaves, sticks into people and rocks into footballs. They […]

Girl Power

I love starting a photo shoot in a family’s home. It not only puts them immediately in their comfort zone, but allows me a sneak peek into their daily life. An added bonus with maternity shoots…I get to see where I’ll be taking their newborn baby’s pictures. When I saw this baby’s nursery on Facebook, […]

It’s a BOY!!

You may remember this adorable family from their maternity post about a month ago, entitled “Surprise“. Well, HE’S here and he’s soooooooooo precious! At 9 days old he graced the camera, asleep for almost 3 hours. He may have been asleep, but he still managed to entertain with the cutest baby noises ever. I can’t […]
