Remebering 9/11 Eight Years Later...

Eight Years ago our lives were forever changed.... I think as an American, and also as an Air Force Wife it is very important to pay tribute every year to all of those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. I also feel it important to pay tribute to those men and women who serve our country in one form or another. Last year I posted New York, and Ground Zero, this year however, I wanted to post The Pentagon Memorial. Kevin and I just visited there in April, as it only very recently opened. It was beautiful and humbling all at the same time. We were told at the site by a grounds women, that the benches pointing toward the pentagon are in honor of the lives that were taken inside of the building, the benches pointing away from the building are in honor of those who died in the plane. Please hug a loved one today...

Felicia and Juan....{Albuquerque Wedding Photographer}

Meet Felicia and Juan... they have a fairytale love story that began when Felicia was 11! They were such a beautiful couple, When they said I Do, Felicia grabbed him with such enthusiasm and gave Juan the biggest kiss! I told her that is the most excited I have ever seen a bride! :) The ceremony was held in a beautiful chapel, and then we walked over to a duck pond. My favorite however is in front of this drop dead beautiful backdrop, where Juan was whistling to make Felica smile! What a gorgeous couple!
Felicia and Juan: It was truly my honor to photograph your wedding, your beautiful family and friends! Thank You for being so fun to work with!

This is a favorite pose of mine... Felicia loved it as well, so why not do it on the biggest day of their lives! Bride, Groom and Daughter....

Engagement Signature Board! {Albuquerque Wedding Photographer}

Until recently, I was under the impression that all couples knew what a Engagement Signature Board was! Then I began getting emails and questions from my couples, about the board. So I decided at this particular wedding to take a few shots of it just for my couples, who were unaware exactly what the board does!
A few of my couples choose to do different things with their board; they chose it be ready for the rehearsal dinner, as to only have their closest friends and family sign the board.
Most of my couples however, choose to take it to the Ceremony and then to the Reception as well! This gives the guest the opportunity to sign it as well.
Weather my couples choose to keep it close and intimate, or allow all their loved ones to sign it, I always have it ready for you a week prior to the Wedding!

The image is taken at the Engagement Session. Then you choose which 8x10 Image you would like in the center of your board!
A guest at the church signing the board. This couple choose to place the board next to the guest book! It worked out really well!
This couple choose to bring their board to the reception as well! Giving the guests who missed it at the church the opportunity to sign it!

Texas Highlights...{New Mexico Traveling Photographer}

One of the things we were able to do while in San Antonio was go on the River Walk Boat Tour at night... What an amazing experiance! We saw some beautiful art, lights and learned quite a bit of information I am sure we would not have known otherwise!
Can you go to Texas and not see The Alamo? If you look right behind it to the right that is the Davey Crockett hotel, he stayed in... Known as the Tower of the Americas...... I thought this was beautiful!

What an awesome way to see the city at night... I would have loved to go on these, but we didn't have time.

Michelle and Olin, Thank You for allowing me to share the best day of your lives with you. You have a beautiful family, great personalities, and awesome friends and family. It was truly my honor to be there!
When Michelle hired me back at the first of the year she told me they were a "Yours Mine and Ours" Family! And what a beautiful family at that they are~! The bridal party was pretty amazing themselves! We had great laughs trying to get all of the adults, never less a 7 month old, 3 year old and 4 year old who were soooo done by this time! I thought they did pretty well! :)
As Michelle and Olin were on the way down to me, a spectator from the hotel whistles... Olin and Michelle, had the most sincere smiles on their faces as Olin lifted his hand in a Right On Greet! As many of my brides do, Michelle wanted my Signature Couple Pose, I always try to do it a tad different every time, I love their version!

Colts Fan...{Albuquerque Childrens Photographer}

This is my son Broc. He is going through a stage of not smiling, but I think he is still handsome! :) He is a Colts fan, and wanted to be shot in his jersey... We went to a unique place and grabbed a couple of these before he was done!

Albuquerque Skies...

One of my favorite things to photograph since moving to New Mexico is the sky! The hot air balloons and mountains come right after though.... What beautiful scenery we have here!

Good Morning Albuquerque...
Good Night Albuquerque....

And The Winner Is...{Albuquerque Childrens Photographer}

Last night at my church, Grace Outreach, for ladies night they did a Home Business Showcase~ What a great opportunity for what I like to call "Mommy Business" to show what we do. I think it's so important to support other mom's and what a great way to share with others your talents and abilities! To view all the Mommy Business I support please visit this link.


The hit of the night was "My 6 Pride and Joys" on Canvas! I am so glad this is my new item, and is also one of my favorite shots not only professionally but also as a mother! To view previous comments click Here

My Oldest Son...

My Oldest Son Dave turned 15 the other day, so today we did his session! He attends Volcano Vista High School, the perfect place to do a Freshman's images! You can tell he is into the serious look right now, but he sure is handsome! He is getting so big, and towers me literally.... I guess they have to grow up sometime.

My Ladies....

I have always loved frilly girl socks and Mary Jane shoes, so today before church we had a few minutes, I decided to sneek them away for a tiny mini session with Mommy!: )

This is the new and improved version of Canvas Art I am able to offer my clients! They are so beautiful, I wish you could all see them in person!

Las Vegas... Finally!

Remember months ago, way back in September, when I went to Las Vegas and promised a Sneak Peek, I have finally managed to get through and order my shots from there!

Ceaser's Palace! The decor in there was stunning...

Kevin and I because of our love for Venice, had to go on the Gondola Ride (ok, I made him)

1 Year Blogiversary!

A year ago today I set out to do my first BLOG post! I will say there were many things I learned and still need to learn, but I love being able to share with my clients! Here are just a few images that have become some of my fav's from the past! Enjoy~

"Brothers" has not only been hand selected for awards, winning shots, and a favorite of my editor and clients, but is my favorite as well! Why? You see Cody, the little guy is my favorite client. Cody has autism, and I will be honest, he had both his mother and I worried about how this shoot would work out. I am very proud, yet humbly so to announce that he "shot" great for me! More than once in fact, I can't wait to see them again (they live in Germany) just so I can work with not only Cody, but all The Havels! I love this image! What a beautiful family....
"Newborns" is one of my highest rated images! Who doesn't love a newborn, but those band aids and the hospital bracelet make the whole shot! She was I think not quite 10 hours old, and so precious!

"Kiss The Girl" is the title for this shot! I asked Mr S. here to give big sis a kiss on the cheek, Oh My, the look on all 3 of their faces were priceless! I was so sad when this family moved, they were so fun to work with! My shot of "Waiting" has been photograph of the month, week, day more times than I can count! I love this shot, as does the mother which is a great compliment to me! Who doesn't love babies! Miss Little J. was adorable, as was her sweet puppy making sure what I was doing with her baby all along!
This is actually a one of my favorite Germany Sessions! :)

Sk8ter Boy!

One of the advantages of being a photographer is being able to shoot your own kids at a whim! Heath's newest, latest, greatest, fun thing to do is skate! Tony Hawk, Ryan Skecler, and Rodney Mullen are just a few of his favorite skaters, so today when he decided he wanted to go skate, I decided why not make it a shoot! I really do like how they turned out, and most of all so does he!

I love this tough guy look he has on! "Mom, skaters do not smile" I loved the backdrop of all the ramps! What a great effect!
He looked cool with all his gear on...















While Heath skated, he laid his stuff down... not this nice of course, I did straighten it, but this was the exact spot he laid them in.

Texas Vineyard...

Even thou I did not go to Texas on a vacation, We were able to stop at one of my favorite places and things to do in this world, visit a vineyard! (Rising Star Vineyards) Going through the vineyard and listening to my friends dad (a true texan cowboy mind you) explain to me what he does there, and all that needs to be done to get the awesome wine they make there, was a very inspiring side trip! Thanks Del!








































Back From Texas!

I am home, finally... and today Shannon is coming to view their session, so thought I would share two more images from the session, I love the way they turned out! Also, I want to give a big Thank You to both Jennie and Bethany for answering my bigger, better images questions! :)

Shannon and Zach

I probably say this often, but just in case... I love my job! Today I got to photograph this adorable couple, Zach and Shannon! They were so cute together, and very willing to do as I ask.
Shannon and Zach, thank you for a very fun session, and I hope you like these as much as I do!

Occupational Hazard

When the girls get new dresses, I try to photograph them in the new dresses. Well for Christmas not only did the girls get new dresses, but their babies did as well. After redressing their dolls for them, the girls asked me to photograph the babies! So we got creative, even giving our dolls our very own bracelets to make these images beautiful! Enjoy~

Cooper Mini Session....

I have shot what I like to call "The Family Feet Shot" so many times for my clients, and always think to myself I want one! :) So while other kids get to just play for winter break, I made mine do a mini session. I love the outcome, but man they made me work for it!
*The comments added are from my family blog, as this has become my new blog header! :) I thought my cleints might enjoy reading what they had to say...
