Bird Bully - Albuquerque, NM Custom Natural Light Photographer

After a recent visit to see family in Colorado Springs and spending time on my Aunt and Uncles porch watching the baby birds, we were motivated to get a birdhouse. We got home and headed to esty.com and ordered a custom New Mexico license plate birdhouse to be made. It arrived and my husband wanted to know where I'd recommend he hang "his" birdhouse. Do you think I helped?!?

Little did I know I now need my OWN birdhouse...but I'm such a touch and buy kinda person. I was a gorgeous, brightly colored house that will host more birds than my husbands house will ever host!

Take that baby! ;0)

Gorgeous Views - Albuquerque, NM Natural Light Photographer

The hubs and I just celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary... and in honor of that we took part in a very rare treat. He surprised me with an evening MINUS the baby out at the Hyatt Tamaya resort. We've stayed here a few times over the years but we've never had this view. We LOVED it. The warm sun streaming in, the lush green rolling hills and some wildlife scattered in too. It was heaven!

The Pattersons- Albuquerque, NM Custom Family Photographer

I know, I know I'm always saying I have a blast at my shoots...and I DO! I always have amazing clients, fabulous families and the cutest kiddos. These guys are no exception whatsoever!

Dad was more than happy to lug the kiddo all around town on his shoulders... and man, I know from experience kiddos are NOT light packages! This family was so natural with each other in front of the camera - I'm thrilled I could be the one to capture it too. They haven't had family pictures in years! Mom and Dad just celebrated their 4 year anniversary so in my mind, they were waaaay overdue!

Thanks so much you guys, I can't wait until next time!

G was THRILLED to show me all the super heroes he knew on this wall...

Plus a few of his own favorites too!

Puja and Rajat - Albuquerque, NM Engagement Photographer

I LOVE doing engagement shoots...and this one was no exception!

These guys have an amazing connection... so in tune with each other constantly and amazingly sweet with each other too. In November they'll become husband and wife in India. I was enthralled with how the wedding customs differ and can't wait to hear more about the big day!

Puja revealed Rajat can be a little shy. Think I agree? NOPE! He was so warm and funny! And Puja...wow, isn't she a total knock out?!? I was thrilled to see her in her gorgeous traditional dress! They were so warm, open and sweet with me too.

I wish you two the very best... have an amazing wedding, a fabulous honeymoon and much, much more!
