Cassandra Graham | Still Image Photography | New Mexico HS Senior Photographer

Meet the BEAUTIFUL Ms. Cassandra! She is a 2014 Animas HS Senior. She is such a beautiful girl and I had a great time taking her photos.  We started in downtown Deming and ended her session at pit park.  I think she looks absolutely gorgeous in all her photos.  Her make-up came out great and I'm sitting here wishing that I too would look good in those eye shadow colors.  It looks AH-MAZING on her! Here are some photos from her session......:)

Bryana Guerrero | Still Image Photography | New Mexico HS Senior Photographer

Meet the BEAUTIFUL Bryana! She is such a sweet girl. I really enjoyed taking her HS senior portraits. :)  I must say that she did so well during her session especially since it was so cold and windy!  Her hands as well as mine were frozen by the end of the session.  I still managed to get a lot of great photos of her. Below are some of my favorite from her session.  <3

Barceleau Family | Still Image Photography | New Mexico Family Photographer

Super super super CUTE family!  I really enjoyed taking their photos.  I have taken little Jacob's newborn photos and 1 yr portraits as well and I can't believe how fast he is growing.  He is such a handsome little guy!  I would have to say that meeting such great families and watching their kids grow is one of the many reasons I love what I do. Plus, I love that I can capture such wonderful memories for them for a lifetime!!  Thanks again to the Barceleau family for traveling down to Deming from El Paso to take their family portraits. I appreciate it more than you know!

Here are some of my favorites from their session. Enjoy!

First, I want to say congratulations to the Cruz family! They are expecting their son anytime soon and I am so excited for them!! :) I really enjoyed taking these photos for them.

I love the way they all turned out!  And I have to say their little girl is so ADORABLE!  She has the sweetest smile. :)

Charleston, South Carolina | Still Image Photography

Loved Carolina!  I took a ton of photos in South Carolina. We also went on a little road trip to North Carolina, but I lost all the photos that I took with my phone in North Carolina. Ugh!!  :/  

Charleston, South Carolina was absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!   We all had a GREAT time and we can't wait to visit there again very soon.  I would have loved to seen more.  Some of the favorite places we did visit during our trip was the Magnolia Plantation and Patriots Point.  I hope you enjoy my photos!  :)  Happy Monday!!

Best friends - Elizabeth, Lauren & Sceselee | Still Image Photography | New Mexico Portrait Photographer

My oldest daughter is going to be 17 on Wednesday and I still thinks it's crazy how fast the time went!!!  But, I can say....she has grown into a beautiful young lady and I am proud to be her Momma!   She wanted a session with her two best friends - Lauren & Sceselee.  So I decided to take a few photos of her by herself and then the rest with her friends.  They all looked beautiful!!!  Here are my favs from their session. 

Happy Sunday!

Fun in Florida | Still Image Photography

I love love love Florida!  My husband and I had a wonderful time during this trip. :)  We took the kids to Florida the year before and they enjoyed it as well.  Only unfortunate thing is that I lost all the photos I took the year our kids went.  :*(  My computer crashed and all my photos are now gone. I feel photos are very important and I love to look back at all the memories, so it's still very upsetting that those photos are lost forever.  

Last year, I had a yearbook printed for us by Shutterfly and we absolutely love it.  I will be getting another one printed this year for 2013.  You can get one for your family here.  This year, I have also decided to share some of my personal photos and/or photos I do just for fun here on my blog!  Not only for me to look back on, but it also gives you a chance to see my photos that I do for fun!! 

Happy Thursday!

xoxo

Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam & Las Vegas | Still Image Photography

Best little road trip EVER!  I love love love road trips and I can't wait until we go back to the Grand Canyon.  I want to spend a lot more time there so we can do a lot more sightseeing. I love looking back at all my photos and seeing all the beautiful places we have been fortunate to see so far.  Lots of wonderful memories with my family. 

I took so many photos, but only sharing some of my favorites here on the blog.  Enjoy!  <3

Lori Cole | Still Image Photography | New Mexico HS Senior Photographer

I had a wonderful time getting to know the beautiful Lori. When I showed up while she was getting her hair and makeup done, she seemed excited to get her photos taken. I asked her if she was nervous and she said, "No, because I was taking the pics."  How sweet is that!! Lori chose my couture package with hair & makeup. She did AH-MAZING during her session and I really enjoyed taking photos of her.

One of my favorite stories that Lori told me was of the earrings she is wearing in her photos.  They had belonged to her grandmother. She said that she remembers as a little girl that she would play with them when her grandmother wore them. They are beautiful fan earrings that you can open and close.  As she got older, her grandmother gave them to her.  So they are very special earrings to Ms. Lori.  She decided to keep one open and one closed for her photos. :)

Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge | Still Image Photography

LOVED this place! I took these photos back in 2012 and I am so ready to visit this place again. I have a ton of photos of places I have visited or just photos that I take randomly that I have yet to share. I tend to get so busy and don't have time to share the photos I take for fun.  So I hope to catch up on my blog posts and share some of my past photos and new photos!

Enjoy!
