Holiday Family Portraits in Albuquerque, New Mexico

The Gawne Family braved the winter cold for a quick holiday family photo shoot at one of my favorite spots, the Elena Gallegos Open Space in the foothills of the gorgeous Sandia Mountains These sweet boys and their parents were such troopers and thankfully you can’t even tell how freezing cold it was :) How adorable are they in their coordinating plaid shirts and that bowtie on baby boy - so stinkin’ cute!!

I also loved how Mom and Dad were a bit more understated in their black outfits. I always try to make sure to get a solo shot of just Mom and Dad. Isn’t the kissing photo to die for? Definitely frame worthy!

Oh sweetness Savannah - all I can say is she is an absolute DOLL! Her bright blue eyes make me melt :) I have photographed this sweet babe since she was in mom’s tummy and I am so glad I was able to capture her one year milestone cake smash photo session in our studio!

2021 Senior Photography in Albuquerque, New Mexico

I had a blast photographing University of New Mexico graduate Jon in Old Town Albuquerque for his senior photography session. There are some really cool backgrounds in Old Town that make for authentically local and unique photos! The pops of turquoise around this area, white washed and faded brick walls, and the gate with the metal Zia symbol are just a few favorite backdrops of mine.

It is always a fun experience to photograph a college graduate. Jon proudly donned his cap and gown in a few of the shots and they couldn’t have turned out more perfect. You can see his confidence (and probably relief) to have achieved such a milestone. It is such a huge accomplishment that deserves to be celebrated! What better way than with a photo session? You can see our senior gallery here

We are so excited to see what happens in the future for you Jon!
