Kaysha & Mike - Albuquerque, NM Custom Couples Photography

Kaysha and I go back...waaay back to high school. We were both DECA nerds.... battling it out for trips around the U.S. and hoping not to get Dottie's Dots as punishment for not paying attention. We clicked easily but lost touch for a few years.

Flash forward to now - After hunting fer her on Facebook, she finally popped up. Married, with a different last name but still here in town. We got together for lunch and clicked again.

Don't you just LOVE friendships like that? Where times feels like it almost stood still...yet so much has changed but not enough to really matter? You can almost pick up where you left off and keep on going... and it feels fabulous!

I'm so glad and honored she wanted me to capture the connection between her, Mike and their pups (I LOVE when clients want to get their pets involved!!). We met, chatted, played and made some magic.

Thanks you two!

Sweet Mama & Son - Albuquerque, NM Custom Family Photographer

I'm not entirely sure how it happens...and it always happens. I have THE SWEETEST families that come to me to capture their memories. These guys were no exception whatsoever!

Meet Brandy and Dylan... fun, silly, sweet, loving and so much more rolled into one. Dylan was so open and interactive with me. Seeing the tender connection between him and his mama gave me hope for the future - that my child will still love me in public! :)

One of my favorite things when photographing children is really getting to know them and their dreams. Nobody dreams quite like a child dreams...unabandoned, unleashed, free and with so much wonder. Dylan had fabulous dreams - no limits, just all dreams. Pair that with his grin and gorgeously stunning eyes and I think his mama might have a heart breaker on her hands in just a few short years!

Brandy and Dylan - thank you for a such a fun time. I can't wait until next time!

Meet Wyatt & Mason - Albuquerque, NM Twin Photographer

Want a good dose of adorable baby-ness? What about a double dose?!? Well, let me introduce you to my very first set of twins - Wyatt & Mason!

These two little dudes were ADORABLE! Not only are they the newest members of one of the coolest and fun-loving couples I know, but they also have some most awesome aunts and uncles you'd recognize from here and here. These little guys were just about a month old when I met them and were both right around 7 pounds a piece...14 total pounds of squishy, whimpery, pouty love! Nothing can quite compare to the noises and smells of a newborn... even though Wyatt did give me a shower that required a t-shirt change!

Mama and Dada are amazing parents already...I cannot wait to watch these little boys grow and. Thanks to you guys for making me feel like another member of your family and for giving me this amazing opportunity to capture your newest journey! Congrats!!
