Santa Fe New Mexico Wedding Photographer.Tara and Trevor

Trevor and Tara were married at La Posada Resort and Spa July 10, 2010, and it was a fun three days. One of the many events that were planned for the guest, family and wedding party  was a hot air balloon ride. It was so beautiful up there and we had the best pilots from Santa Fe Balloons.

Unique Bouquet.Clovis New Mexico Wedding Photographer

A cluster of buttons made into a beautiful bouquet. I love how Klisty, the bride thought outside the box for the bouquet for her and her bridesmaids.
What else could you make into a bouquet that would be unique?

Clovis NM Portrait Photographer.Shelby

Shelby!! Let me tell you something. You are BEAUTIFUL! Inside and out. I so enjoyed your session. Especially when a 40 yr old dude yells at you and your pretty little self. (gross, considering you are only 15) Yup, she is only 15 people. I did her sisters senior photos 2 years ago and it is great getting to shoot Shelby too. Her mom was also with us and I left their session feeling so loved and appreciated. This family is one awesome group and I’ve only met half of them. Thanks for your kind hearts and sweet spirits. You are all so beautiful :)

Clovis NM Portrait Photographer. Baby Jack

We have all been waiting patiently for baby Jack to arrive. His mom, Logan a past bride, called MONTHS in advance to schedule his newborn session. She is a planner. I like that. Alot. I photographed Jeff and Logan’s wedding two years ago and I told them how I love being apart of peoples lives as a photographer, because you get to see them live life. Now after two years of marriage, they have a baby. These are sweet, precious moments I am SO happy my camera was able to collect for them.

Baby Jack was just a sweetheart and I LOVED holding him.  He made me realize my baby (2 yrs old) is not really a baby anymore.  When I came home after their session and looked at Benson, I was kind of taken back at how BIG he is, but he will always be MY baby :)

Oh, funny story too.  You know you are a real awesome mom when you catch your babies poop as he is hanging in a knitted basket.  Yup, thats what Logan did.  And Jeff was a little grossed out.  And I was laughing :)

And, Logan and Jeff made me feel so welcomed and loved when I came into their house to find lots and lots of wedding photos I did for them. I never get to see the photographs displayed in my clients homes and that was very special to me.
Thanks for a very lovely evening Scarbrough family.

Clovis NM Portrait Photographer.Boys will Be Boys

Tuesday I had a session with a sweet 3 yr old boy. He was full of energy, had the cutest smile, and gave me hugs. I instantly fell in love with him, because he reminded me so much of my little Benson.
I got three HUGE mosquito bites during this session too. If you live in this area, I am warning you the mosquitoes want to eat you alive so spray yourself with OFF. And I mean spray your entire body, because those little dudes got me in places I never thought they would :)

Here are my some favorites…
