Rosario and Nathan and kiddos (White Tank Series - The Summer of 2022)

This was my first White Tank Shoot this summer. I debated whether to run the same series, but I love the style of this image, so fresh looking, like right off the cover of a magazine, so here we are for the Take 2 Series. I would say the series kicked off with an amazing group. This family is pure delight. Here is a smidge of a couple of my faves.

Someone has serious muscles here. I love kids.

The Magic of One!

Little sister just turned one, big sister is two. They made me laugh out loud the whole time. The personalities of these little doodlebugs are awesome. There is one pic, that little sister shows she might be a bit more on the rowdy side ; ) Enjoy these little lovelies.

She likes my jokes!!

This image makes me laugh out loud!!!!! Mom was getting these little cuties set up…the differences of expressions is classic!!

Lynleigh

Lynleigh loves dance, ballet and tap. She chose to go without her ballet shoes, which I loved, the images below are a combination of posed and free style dance images. What a lovely shoot this was, dance really is art in motion.

Welcome Emerson!

Emerson is the sweetest little doodle bug, so happy and chill. She is so loved by her Mommy and Daddy and big sister. Big sister is such a good helper and loves to help. Enjoy a couple of images from the shoot.

This is the moment August was done. ; ) Bahahahaha. I love little kids.

David Utley - Headshots

David was a blast to photograph. He has been in the theater world for a while, he has some shows coming up so he needed some updated headshots, and I was thrilled he asked me to help him with that. Enjoy just a couple of my faves.

Marie. To know her is to love her. Class of 2022! #CooperHighSchool

Marie is not only beautiful, but she is a super cool book worm and lover of books. When Marie and I were talking about the locations, the only specific request Marie had was the library. She brought her 4 favorite reads to feature in her pics. Marie is headed to UNT and I am sure she will rock it! Enjoy a couple of images from the blog.

Aidan is Graduating! Class of 2022. #ATEMS

It was so much fun taking Aidan’s senior pictures. The first time I photographed him, he was in pre-school. Now he is a grown man and heading to ACU to pursue a degree in electrical engineering. Aidan, may you some day be the king of all computers.

Charlie - Class of 2022!

Charlie is graduating. She has had a full high school career, filled with cheer and tennis. Next stop. . . SMU Charlie I know you will make the world a better more lovely place. Cheering you on.

Melinda - Social Media Content Shoot

This was a fun shoot. Melinda, you might think you have seen her on my site before, but . . . that would be her identical twin, Melissa. It was a super fun photographing someone who I had just met, but who looks exactly like her sister, who lives local and I know. It felt a little surreal at times. Melinda brought three different looks, and lots of props and we went to work. The creativity was so fun. Melinda will use these images to insert text in the open areas to use on social media to share content and advertise.

Donna and David {{ 50 Years }}

We could not have asked for a more beautiful day to walk around Cibola National Forest in Albuquerque, NM. It was a beautiful weather day, but lots of much needed steps and fresh air were a great gift as well. David and Donna’s daughter, Julie did a great job of scouting the area in heels earlier in the morning, and I drove straight in from my Arizona shoots to meet them at the appointed time. All shoots are special, some are also sacred. This is one of those. Sacred moments, holy ground…and the best part is there were lots of laughs as well. Thank you to Julie and Beva (a close family friend) who were our location scouts and instigators of lots of big smiles along the way. Enjoy. - As a side note, the rock building in the background was the former cabin of Juan Tabo, if you are familiar with ABQ you have probably driven on the street named for him many times.
