Maggie + Dominic, a Darling Newborn Session

This year we got spend a little extra time with one of our all time favorite couples, Maggie and Dominic, as the start a darling new chapter together as parents. These cuties certainly make it easy for us to capture their love over and over again.

These angels met all the way back in law school and finally tied the knot in 2021 with the dreamiest, most elegant backyard wedding of all time. Since then, Dominic and Maggie have continued to grow their sweet little family and are truly the most amazing new parents.

We can’t wait to see what the future holds for them!

Sydnie + Patrick, an Adorable New Mexico Family Session

Just when we thought 2023 couldn’t get any sweeter, we got lucky enough to spend a fleeting evening with one of our all time favorite couples. Patrick and Sydnie may have tied the knot years ago, but their love for one another (and for their sweet kids) is truly one of the most inspiring little stories around.

Initially meeting over a decade ago, these sweethearts fell head-over-heels for each other and eventually they were wed in the heart of Santa Fe on the dreamiest day of all. Years later we feel so dang lucky to continue to capture Sydnie and Patrick as they grow through life as parents and best friends.

Here’s to finding your soulmate and doing life with them, these hunnies make marriage look so dang sweet!

Shawna + Derek, a Sweet Desert Family Session

If there’s one thing that always makes us emotional its when our previous wedding couples return to us for incredible little family sessions years later. Sweethearts Derek and Shawna brought their cuties daughters with them for one of the most precious desert evenings of all.

Way back in 2016, Shawna and Derek were wed in the heart of Santa Fe at La Posada and it was truly a dream come true. Not only was their day absolutely unforgettable, but a ton of its details were featured by the one and only Martha Stewart Weddings!

We’ve loved seeing how these angels have grown their stunning little family over the years, we love Derek and Shawna forever and ever!
