Barb + Devin, a Heartfelt Mother and Son Session

We usually don’t capture a ton of mother + son sessions, but dang was this studio session with Barb and Devin so incredibly special. We loved seeing the love this tiny family shares shine so bright.

We connected with Barb last year and were immediately inspired by her constant determination to make the community she loves better for those who are sometimes ignored or left without a voice. Not only is Barb a fierce community leader, she’s also one of the sweetest mommas on the planet. Seeing her with Devin was such a highlight for us and we were so honored to capture such a beautiful family.

We’re so deeply moved by humans like Barb who not only work to make the world better for their families, but those who want to make their entire community better for all.

Culture Club - an Ethereal Styled Shoot

This spring we got to team up with the insanely talented gals at Culture Club Salon, aka our soulmates, for the most gorgeous styled editorial around. With a stellar concept by Culture Club’s main babe, Jenny, this day was a daydream come to life.

We started off this day with hair and makeup prep at Culture Club’s home base in the heart of Albuquerque’s North Valley. Besides having some of New Mexico’s most talented hairstylists around, this little slice of heaven also has some of the most aesthetically pleasing decor we’ve ever seen in a salon (we seriously want to move in). And if this day couldn’t get any better, our makeup queen Diana of Something Ginger worked her magic on all of this day’s angelic models.

This vision finally became a reality at one of our favorite places in town, Lighthouse Studio. From tiny butterfly details to divine curly hair styles to the most killer wardrobe, this day was one of our favorites by far.

Give us all the the ethereal styled editorials with the best teams on earth please and thank you!!

Isabel, a Dreamy Senior Session

When it comes to senior sessions, we’re not lying when we say that they are sooo different than they used to be. We adore all of our sweet, talented, downright amazing seniors so much!

We started off our spring with Isabel’s dreamy senior session. This gal is so dang confident and stunning so capturing her contagious, carefree nature was such a breeze. We’re absolutely obsessed with her style and need to get similar cowboy hats ASAP.

Congrats to this angel on graduating and on her next chapter at Colorado State University!

Roberta + Her Boys, a Fall Family Session

Spending time in the lush New Mexico wilderness for family portraits is easily one of our favorite little things to do outside of capturing weddings and elopements. Last fall, we spent time with Roberta and her sweet boys for the prettiest evening around.

We adored walking through all of the stunning fall foliage with this tiny family for some super beautiful and really fun portraits. Being able to capture all the little evenings like this one is something we absolutely live for and we can’t wait for more evenings like this one!

Culture Club Salon, a Divine Team Shoot

While 2020 may have been one of the most difficult years of all, but we found ourselves so incredibly inspired by our community and we were especially blown away by the team at Culture Club Salon. Not only have these ladies gone above and beyond for their clients in the last year, but they’ve also been incredible examples in speaking up on social justice and human rights. We were so excited to capture their dreamy space a few months ago.

Located in the quiet North Valley, Culture Club Salon is a space that feels cozy, calm, and immensely welcoming. With its amazing founder and leader Jenny, this team of 12 incredibly talented stylists and creatives leads the way not only in their craft, but in cultivating a better community for everyone.

We’re still in awe of this talented team and its gorgeous space, cheers to many more years of Culture Club.

Betty Rose Team, a Stellar Desert Session

If there’s one thing we adore, it’s getting to capture our vendor friends with their cutie little teams. Our angel Alanna of Betty Rose by Alanna has been building her glam business for years and we are so excited to see it turn into a full service hair and makeup team. We got to spend a pretty evening out in the desert to hang out with this incredible team!

Besides being some of our favorite gals to work with on weddings, elopements, and styled shoots, this team of absolute babes is also stunning in front of the camera. Alanna, Ashley, Savannah, and Jayce are by far some of the most talented, down-to-earth, kind hearted souls we know. Every single time we get to work with them, we know its going to be an absolutely amazing day.

We’ve known Alanna since forever and we’re so beyond grateful for her constant friendship, support, and love. Truthfully, we feel beyond lucky to know this wonderful human and its always so amazing to watch her team make wedding days even more magical. Thank you for lighting up our lives beautiful, we’re so excited for this new chapter for Betty Rose!

Sevilla, an Old Town Graduation Session

This summer we’ve spent a little extra time capturing seniors and it has been such an amazing time. We headed back to Old Town last month for the most fun little cap and gown session with 2020 graduate, Sevilla.
