it's been a long time, friends.

i've neglected this blog for so long it's kind of a joke. for the past 6 months i've been working on a new blog and all the while continuing to shoot for previous and new clients.
can i just say "WHEW!"
what a beautiful ride this has been. and it's ongoing. the growth of my business over the past several years has been such a tremendous blessing. i am loving this gig and i want to continue to give my best at every single shoot and to every single client i have.
to all of you who have followed me on this journey, thank you so much! i'm sorry i left you high and dry on this blogspot over the past several months. come on over to my new blog location and continue on this journey with me.

booyah!

behind on blogging.... albuquerque {lifestyle} photographer

..words just can't express how busy my life has been lately.
my 3 boys are all in activities that require major drive time and commitment on my part (ugh) and my photography business has been a whirlwind of shoots and edits and personal galleries fulfilled, but blogging just hasn't been on the plate these days.
so since i am a handful of shoots behind on the bloggity, i thought i'd post a few snaps from each shoot waiting in the wings for their moment of blog glory. (my personal archives are over flowing with picture goodness...but those are always last on the list.)
more to come of each...this just feels right, right now.




oh my sweet sweet addison.
baby girl just turned TWO and is growing up so fast!
i feel SO SO LUCKY to get to photograph these fleeting moments for her parents.
also, mom kristi, just opened up a business of her own! you can check it out HERE:)

my loyal, loving, dear friend andi hired me for her annual family shoot.
since we last did a family shoot, they were a family of five.
then they added sweet, beautiful elle.
and now they are the fabulous six.
i feel so lucky to call andi my friend. and what an honor that she asks me to photograph these people whom she loves more than life.

this hottie tottie is nick.
a cibola senior who is going places.
i won't embarrass him too much here....but did you know he is the state champion in wrestling??
well now you know.
and his eyes are insanely beautiful as is his shy smile.
(gonna get a few snaps of him and his beautiful girlfriend really soon:)

emma!!!
i had SO.MUCH.FUN with emma and her family. everyone knows i have sister envy and it was baaaaad while hanging out with emma and her cute sister.
i jokingly renamed them skylar and selah (my daughters names...if i had ever had any:)
emma is a senior and her sis is a freshman and they play together on the soccer varsity team. apparently the first sibling pair to do so at their school. how cool is that?
and they even have a secret handshake that they do before every game.
oh how lovely skylar and selah have grown up to be....

patsizz is BACK.
and we took a bench out to the desert at sunset which equaled one of the best shoots ever. (i say that to all the girls, i know. but it's true every time!)
i am in love with all of her pictures. and her, of course. and her cute family. i always have such a great time with them. not to mention they brought beer. (just one. as we sat and talked and enjoyed the sunset.)
i love my patsizzle. i do, i do.

my assistant.

this is lily. and one very sweet picture from our shoot yesterday.
i am now mentoring a beautiful and insanely talented senior from la cueva and this is the first shoot she accompanied me on.
i don't know how i ever lived without camille before yesterday. she and i are going to have a blast together this year.
and lily and her brothers sure loved camille too:)

ok, peeps.
i'll be back soon with more.
love to all ya'll readers and lookers.
XOXOXOXO

oh boy.
i mean, oh boys.
i had this idea rolling around in my head for a few days after i came across some really cool 'fedora-like' hats for kids.add a few white tanks, fake tatts and some aviator sunglasses- plus my asher and his two buds--and this idea came to life.
i love the dynamic between these guys; asher, beck and stoney.
they were all born within months of each other.
i was so lucky to be preggo with a couple of my really close and treasured gal pals (andi and patsizzle)-- only to birth fast friends.
this has to be one of my favorite personal shoots ever...

boys rock. they just do.

XOXOXO

full of beauty and grace ~albuquerque, nm high school senior photographer

jordan grace.
such a perfect name for this teenage beauty.
she is truly as sweet as they come...and it's easy to see why.
her family rocks the casbah. i loved them all.
they didn't mind at all that i had my 3 boys in tow, or that it was as hot as could be, or that i planned on taking a million photographs of them.
nope, not a single whine.
and so, because jordan and family have been ever-so-gracious in their patience of my processing of their gallery...this is just the tip of the iceberg.
i plan on picture overloading them:)
