Unveiling - Albuquerque, NM family Photographer

For a long, long time I've had another secret under the wraps and it's finally time to unveil it!

It's been a huge labor of love, hours spent at my computer making sure all was *just perfect* and many more hours daydreaming about how fabulous this really is. It signifies big, big changes to my photography business and even more big, big benefits to all my wonderful current clients and my future clients as well.

Spring - Albuquerque, New Mexico Natural Light Photography

As many of you already know, I'm SO not a cold weather person. By the time Christmas came and passed, I was so over the cold, snow and just plain blahs of winter. Today, the weather was amazingly gorgeous and I took full advantage to explore my yard, and snag some more macro shots.

There's a big variety here...and I love them all. I found some rich, deep purples and some bright, new greens. Add in a cute little critter that surprisingly showed up in my viewfinder and I was a pretty happy camper editing these as well.

Spring is coming in...and it's oh so fabulous!!

Spring - Albuquerque, NM Natural Light Photography

Maybe I'm a little but nuts but I LOVE Daylight Savings Time... It gets me that extra step closer to Spring and then Summer. Warm breezes, afternoons spent in the backyard, BBQs with friends and family, FLIP FLOPS and books read laying in the sun are on their way! I can just taste it.

Today, I even got a glimpse of it and it makes me that much more excited! You've gotta love these gorgeous, vibrant blue New Mexico skies!

Oh Sweet Baby Boutique - Albuquerque, New Mexico Custom Commercial Photography

I know it's been awhile since you saw many posts on this blog...and I've got good reasons to have been so absent. Here's just ONE reason. You'll have to wait for the others!

Let me introduce you to a little something new for Albuquerque moms and kiddos: Little Monkey's & Oh Sweet Baby Boutique! It's a FABULOUS baby boutique inside of a children's resale shop!

I'm a huge fan of local and love to support any little local shops and restaurants I can. The owner of Little Monkey's & Oh Sweet Baby Boutique, Jessica, has the best lookin' store with the most rockin' stock - hands down. She is super sweet and helpful too.

Being a mom myself, I love shopping for my daughter's clothes in consignment stores. Not only can you find some seriously amazing bargains but the variety of clothing styles really cannot be compared. I love being able to walk in, pick out cute pieces and know that the next time I come back, whether it be days or weeks apart, their entire stock will be different, fresh and not the same stuff you'll find in all the regular stores.

Recently Jessica decided to add a boutique section to her store... and she hand makes the majority of these custom items. Bows, headbands, tutus, pettiskirts, hats and more... in a great variety of colors and sizes. Seriously TO DIE FOR. Take a peek below!

But first, you can fan them on Facebook or scope out their website. And now...DROOL!

Ezra - Albuquerque, NM Custom Newborn Photographer

I love photographing people so much...catching a glimpse into their emotions, capturing glances with deep meaning behind them, seeing love reflected in people's eyes...It's really what keeps me inspired in my work. Being able to build a relationship with a couple, sometimes starting earlier than a maternity session, and continuing to grow that relationship through multiple sessions is really just the sweetest icing on the cake. I cannot wait to see where these relationships go after a few more years of being in business and having many more opportunities to watch these families start or grow, kiddos double over time and having my clients open up even more for my camera.

This couple was so comfortable in front of my camera both times (you can catch their earlier maternity session here) and I LOVED how many intimate moments I caught without them even noticing. Michael regularly gazes at his wife with such adoration...and their interactions with each other are so easy and fluid it's like watching a dance.

Now...add in their little star : Ezra. He was squishy, sweet, sleepy and just heaven for me to lay my eyes on. He was so content even when he was hungry and I kept promising only 2 more shots.

Congrats to the new Mom & Dad! Welcome to the crazy, hairy wonderfully-ridiculous world of parenthood :)
