Family fun in the Bosque

I had the most FUN on this shoot! These are my neighbors..Marlene is like June Cleaver to my Sharon Osbourne, yet we still have a great friendship. Their three kids are (obviously) gorgeous, but even better than that, they are kind, sweet souls. Jason is a fantastic father and had no problems acting silly with his kids (no worries, I didn't post those)..I love this family. Thanks you guys, for all of the support, the referrals, the words of encouragement, the Keva juice, the gossip..but most of all..thank you for your friendship.

Alabama bound!

This beautiful couple wanted to do a quick photo shoot to say goodbye to Albuquerque, so we ran down to the Bosque on their last night in town. Good luck to you both in your new city!

Captured

My babies...the loves of my life, my heart, my soul, my energy vampires. Nature vs. nurture is in full effect here..how do two kids with the same genes, in the same house, act SO different?? These photos reflect their personalities perfectly.

Catch a Rising STAR

Meet Lillie..she has the voice of an angel and loves theater. She is also so sweet and the daughter of a great friend of mine. She needed headshots for an upcoming production and I was happy to oblige! I can't wait until I can say "I knew her when..."

Kevin

This is Kevin. He is the son of some friends who live in Montana and I couldn't wait to take his pictures. They didn't make them like this when I was in high school!

I couldn't wait...

A few days ago I did a shoot for the CUTEST baby girl...I'm working on her photos now, but I wanted to share one...

Bozeman Farmer's Market

I've been away for almost a month! I wanted to share a few of the shots I took at the outdoor market they have twice a week in the park. It is crowded with people and dogs and day old alpacas...oh my! Kids sell their baked doggie goods (or their talent) and various vendors (including a now infamous tarot card reader) want you to buy what they are selling. The organic vegetables are SO YUMMY!(ok, so is the kettle corn..and the pastries..and the chocolate)
yes these are "Montana Turd Birds"


This is my sister's dog "Porch" (she found her on the front porch)...when she is nervous around a lot of people she puts her arm around Sadie's neck and holds on for dear life



This is Leroy and Grizzly..two of the BIGGEST dogs I have ever seen...


My favorite shot of the day..on the way back to the car..checking out the community pool..

Gabriella is ONE!!!

I met Gabi's mom at my first Bunco..which happened to also be a baby shower for her middle son. We hit it off (from what I remember of that night), and everyone was so excited when we found out she was pregnant with her first girl (at another Bunco). So at my last Bunco we set up a photo shoot to celebrate Gabi's first birthday...who would have thought Bunco would lead to this??

My first senior session!

These twins were 10 when I met them! I can't believe they are going to graduate! Their mom is one of my best friends in the world..and they are turning into fabulous adults!









Of course..they are still siblings...

vacation sneak peek

Just one tonight..after two weeks of vacation I have so many pictures to go through..but I just love this one of Rusty in a meadow in Flagstaff.

A day in the park

Events of the day:
Rory fell in love...head over heels.

Apparently, it is IMPOSSIBLE to run without sticking your tongue out.

Sisters can pretend to like each other...

and..Bethany is HILARIOUS!!

practice, practice, practice

I took the girls out today to practice..I liked this shot and thought I would share :)
