a beautiful blast from the past ~albuquerque, nm family photographer

about a year ago as i sat under the hair dryer at a beauty salon that i will never return to (the day the dude turned my roots ice blue...) i looked to my right and said, "hey, i know you!"

and there sat amber.

she and i had a photography class together in high school.

now she's all growed up, newly newly married, with a beautiful daughter and a very charming step son. not to mention a handsome husband. not to mention that she is gorgeous and fit and looks better than ever. she was super cute in high school, she is smokin now.

what a wonderful surprise it was when she booked me for some family pictures.

through our emails i learned that neither she nor her husband are huge fans of having their pictures taken.

perfect. i love to make believers out of non believers.

and even more perfect....they showed up with ice cold beer for us all.

a little beer spill never hurt anyone

i loved how laid back everyone was. my kind of people, totally.

you wouldn't know it, but we were all dripping sweat right about here.

look how well they played cool!

i don't remember what i said to get the reaction in the next pictures, but i'm damned proud of myself. i can practically hear her laughter:)

i want this picture of me and my husband. so so bad!

aaaaaaaaaaaand, scene!
