New Product - Albuquerque Lifestyle Portrait Photographer

I'm SO excited to announce my newest product - the mini accordion albums! These mini albums make the PERFECT gift for moms, dads, grandmas, grandpas...anyone! Used as a brag book or displayed on a desktop, these babies are to die for!

They're sized at 3x3 and come equipped with a strong magnetic closure...making sure to stay closed and protect the classic art linen pages inside. You can select a custom image cover or choose from a variety of colored fabric covers...making these albums even more custom for you.

They come in sets of 2 and are available as an upgrade to select digital packages.

You'll fall.in.love with these - I did and cannot wait to see YOUR images on the next set I design!

Day 6 - Albuquerque Lifestyle Portrait Photographer

Day 6 actually brings you multiple photos... of a cherished and very, very loved item in our house. Not only is it essentially a classic but it never goes out of style. My girlie LOVES it to pieces, literally. We're needing to apply a duct tape fix soon or else the cover and the stories will be separated forever.

It seems to be loved in waves... weeks at a time when it's opened over and over each and every day. Every rare once in awhile, it gets a break to sit on the shelf while another book goes through the ringer. But this book gets tossed (or rather pulled) into the cycle more often than any other book.

I'm glad this is my day 6 image...captures a love in my daughter's life right now.

Day 5 - Albuqueruqe Lifestyle Portrait Photographer

Tired of hearing about how awesome our backyard is and how much time we spend out there? Well, this is just the beginning - buckle in and keep watching/hearing all about it!

Summer as a kid. This picture practically sums it all up. *sigh*

Day 4 - Albuquerque Photographer

We love bringing birds to our yard year round to watch...Sometimes it can be so exhausting. Trying to keep the bird feeder full (which the birds can totally drain in one day), making sure there is fresh nectar for the hummingbirds and making sure the bird bath has water it in on hot summer days. In the winter, we then worry about stocking enough suet for the birds as well.

But over and over it pays off. We watch a HUGE variety of birds come and go (as well as other neat guys like lizards and dragonflies). There's even a few times we get a hawk on our back wall.

All of 3 of us enjoy watching the daily activities of the birds - making nest, eating, bathing, lounging in the shade....as long as we keep that feeder full!

Day 3 - Albuquerque Lifestyle Portrait Photographer

Day 3 gave me perfect time...it was still warm and muggy out, with a gorgeous blazing sunset that just made me yearn to be outside. Exploring my yard and neighborhood, at a different level than walking my toddler girl, is just such a fun and different experience every single time I get out. From sunrise to sunset, Monday to Wednesday (or sometimes Sunday), things change so much... there's always something new to see, something new to discover.

Every year I vow to capture these flowers in my planter in all their glory...before the blooms either lose their petals or the weight of them finally brings the long skinny stem down to the ground. I caught them this year but know I've already missed the window with my pansies - the 100+ degree weather the past few days finished them off for the season. Pansies are a staple though, so I know I can catch them next year.

Something about the spring, summer and fall blooms - what makes them so irresistible?

Day 2 - Albuquerque Childrens Photographer

Day 2 brought us more outside fun...this time with tears and sadness. I don't think even a Popsicle got to show it's face (or that it would have mattered at all). A quick recovery was had and no kiddo was injured or harmed in the snapping of this image :)

Day 1 - Albuquerque Lifestyle Portrait Photographer

You might have seen my recent post on Facebook, breaking the news I'd be starting a personal project soon. Yesterday, on June 5th, I began... Shooting for me, 90 days in a row this summer. You'll learn (and see) more about me while I learn more about myself. I'm sure some days will be simple images, just a moment from our day, and sometimes others will be more exciting...at least I hope! All I can guarantee is a large variety of images, feelings and inspiration :)

This is a staple to our summer. Hot sunny days, a swimming pool in the shade and popsicles. We could sit outside and play all.day.long and love every minute. We're an outside kinda family!
