Here's a little bit from there day:

A + T Wedding

Alyssa and Talon, such a cute sweet fun couple!  Talon graciously thanked me the entire day!  Alyssa was glowing!   They were sealed in the Albuquerque temple then after a lunchon it was off to Las Cruces for their country reception.   Who knew there was such a thing as 4 minute sparklers?!  Totally impressive!  

A + C Wedding

Andrew and Chelsea had an intimate ceremony with family and friends.  We got a light rain with just enough clouds to make the sky so beautiful.  They meet through a mutual friend/room-mate who invited some people over but when the get together was over Andrew didn't want to leave.  They have been inseparable ever since.   

Andrew's Senior Session

This handsome Senior, I use to babysit when he was little!  Man how time flies!  He picked Soledad Canyon, which I cannot believe, even living here my whole life had never been there.  I really thought I had done every local hike there is, including the Needles.  Let me tell you it is beautiful!!  We had a lot of fun at his session!!

Baby Lucas

This sweet boy came a few days after his due date but of course worth the wait.  He did great for his session!  And I am so excited for this new family of three!!  (And for sure he'll be the biggest Bears fan there ever was!)  Congratulations!  

Clay's Senior Session

This Senior had some really cool ideas for his session! An old warehouse plus one if his favorite things, his dirt bike!  Made for a really fun session!

Here are a few of my favorites from the session:

R Family Hospital

This family just added a sweet little boy to their family.   Their is something extra special about a brand new baby!  Congrats to them!

Dravyn's Senior Session

This Senior Session was so fun!  He totally got in to all the little things I asked him to do!  And with the huge golf course and golf carts to ride all around and we ran into a friend who gave us a special tour of the best places around the course, it was a total win!

The R family (Maternity)

This good looking couple was excited to do maternity pictures in White Sands, I agree what a beautiful location!  So we included their cute fur babies in some shots and just had an overall fun time!  They are so excited to invite their sweet little boy into their family, any day now!  I'm looking forward to seeing them again soon for their newborn shoot!  

Here are just a few of my favorites from their session: 

The K Family

I truly love this cute little family!   They like to not find out what they are having while they are pregnant so they are in for an extra surprise, meeting there new child and finding out the gender.  Everyone was a little surprised to see their 3rd child a little boy after 2 girls, like maybe an all girl streak!  They couldn't be any more thrilled to add this sweet guy to their family!  Here are a few of my favorites from their session:

The C family

This cute family just added sweet baby #3 to their family and I was so excited to get to be there to see him and capture some of his first moments!  He was so sweet and his big brother and sister are going to take great care of him.  

Here are just a few of my favorites from this session:  

E Family

This cute family, we came together through a mutual friend.  I really enjoyed getting to know them at our session together.    You should have seen the way they looked at each other for just about every couple pose!  And for their sweet little boy, they pulled out all the stops!  Such a fun and loving family!  Here are a few of my favorites from their session:

Chandler's Hospital session

I feel so blessed to get to work with these brand new little ones, straight from Heaven!  Here are a few of my favorites from his hospital session and be on the look out for his up coming newborn session coming soon!

Kelli + Kevin

This gorgeous back ground reception had beautiful decor and was filled with so many friends and family to celebrate with Kelli and Kevin!  One of my favorite moments of the night was when Kelli pulled out a journal that she had received as a young woman.  She wrote in it to her furture husband and she then made her writings into a song, which she also wrote the music to.  She preformed her song for everyone there and it was really special.  

Here are just a few of my favorites from their special evening:  

Deacon's 1

This adorable (almost!) 1-year-old was so sweet and fun!  An all around go with the flow kind of kid!  He has his older siblings to look after him and just had his epic first birthday party!

Here are some of my favorite's from his session:

N Family

This family I know though work and church.  They are some of the absolute nicest people you've ever met, super athletic, and all around a good looking family!  Their adorable 2-year-old was a busy little bee!  It kept the session interesting and fun!

Here are a few of my favorites from their session:

Catching our frog...

And watching him swim away.

Olivia turns One

This little sweetie just turned one and to celebrate we did a cake smash.  She started off slow but figured it out quickly!  She has big beautiful blue eyes, totally runs in the family. Mom wanted to make sure we showed them off.  I think you could say Mission Accomplished.

One side note,  it had been pouring just an hour or two before the session so when we got to one of my favorites spots, which happens to be an Arroyo, the water was flowing, Big time!  We made it work, actually it made it more fun!

Here are a few of my favorites from the session:

Alyssa's 4 today!

My sweet little Alyssa is 4 today!  She love fancy shoes and dresses.  She loves singing and frozen!  She likes to tell me stories and sometimes starts off with, "When I was a little kid..."  She wins the heart of her teachers and instructors because she is so bubbly and fun!  The boys in her preschool would fight over who was going to marry her.  She completely keeps us on our toes and we lover her so much!
