Warm Fuzzies - Albuquerque, NM and Carlsbad, NM Photographer

Don't you just love those feel good moments? How about stumbling upon a spur-of-the-moment picture and getting that same feeling?

Yep... this one does that for me. We took a trip with my brother and his girl down to Carlsbad, New Mexico to hike the Caverns. As my hubby got the baby ready in her hiking pack I caught this beauty and it just makes me giggle!

Summer Dreams - Albuquerque, NM Natural Light Photographer

I love every season...I really, really do. By the time I've had my fill of one, another comes rolling in just in time. My years always seem to cycle like that.

When summer finally comes in full force our desert willow blooms gorgeous purple flowers. They smell so intoxicatingly sweet and fabulous that I can't complain TOO much when my car (which I'll park under the tree for shade) is covered in sticky sap.

Right now I'm in LOVE with summer. I love feeling the sun on my skin, watching the hot summer sun set late in the evening and causing the sky to catch fire, the smells of neighbors BBQing, hummingbirds and butterflies coming around, plants greening up and blooming...and gathering my family close outside for some water time fun.

What can beat memories like that, right?

Jason and Emily - Albuquerque, NM and Colorado Springs, CO Maternity Photographer

These guys are uber special to me. All 3 of 'em actually. This is my cousin Jason and his wife Emily (I call them both my cousin just for technical issues...but if my cousins were having a bay together there MIGHT be an issue, so rest assured!) Now...toss little Sophia Jayne into the mix and I feel like I'm getting a niece. I can hardly wait for her arrival... I might be knocking down the hospital room wall!

Sophia Jayne will be my Grammie's 5th great granddaughter. Yep...it's a girl kinda family and we're all loving it. Who doesn't? Teensy tiny pink clothes, beaded jewel tone shoes, loads of sweet, sweet stuffed animals.... I could go on and on (and I won't, because you all already know how stinkin' cute baby girl stuff is!).

Jason and Em will be miraculous parents. Beyond explanation. Can't you just FEEL the love?! Em is beyond glowing, Jay is so proud and already wrapped around Sophia's finger...and Wrigley? Wrigley is a sucka for this little bundle of love too!

It was beyond special for them to ask me to take these portraits. I'm so glad to be able to capture this time in their lives... I Love you 3!
