Noa, Albuquerque Academy 2015 Senior in Albuquerque, NM | Senior Photographer

The lovely Noa is a 2015 Albuquerque Academy high-school grad. We started her senior portrait session at my studio in Bernalillo, NM and then ventured out to grab some outdoor portraits. I love that she was non-traditional when it came to her senior photos, and even asked to incorporate a fresh flower crowne (incredibly crafted by Stephanie Yardman Floral Design). It was the greatest treat to meet and work with her! 

Shaw Family | Albuquerque Family Photographer

I had a great time photographing Ashley & her sweet family. She is actually a local fellow photographer, and one of my second shooters during wedding season, so when she asked me to do her yearly family portraits I was super honored! Aren't her boys the most handsome?? We had so much fun!

Birthday sessions | First Birthday Photographer | Albuquerque, NM

The last couple months have been crazy busy with wedding season that I haven't had time to blog about the sweet little ones who have stopped by the studio for their birthday sessions! 

So much fun and tons of laughs with these darling little loves.

Mid Season Break | Albuquerque Wedding & Portrait Photographer

Phewwww. It has been non-stop around here since, umm, January? From the surprisingly busy cold winter months where my sweet couples, families and seniors braved the chill New Mexico temps for their portraits, to the spring blossom sessions and then going full force into getting our studio up and running! Now, here we are, mid wedding season (where its not even my peak yet) and this gal is SOOO ready for a mini-vaycay. A chance for me to unplug, refocus, and reset to rock out our insanely busy Sept-November weddings, and christmas card portrait sessions! 

So starting Thursday morning to Tuesday morning I will be away from all non-emergency emails and messages, poolside with a margarita in hand. Anything not time sensitive will be taken care when I get back to my desk Monday evening! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!

Sweet baby L | Newborn photographer | Albuquerque, New Mexico | Alicia Lucia Photography

At just 26 days old, precious baby Luciano is as sweet as can be! And look at all that hair.. I love it so! 

Shavawn & Rashad | Maternity Photography | Albuquerque, NM

I had such a fun time meeting and getting to know Shavawn & Rashad! I seriously laughed so hard throughout our session together. Miss Aniya is blessed to have such fun, loving, wonderful parents. I can not wait to meet this precious princess, she is going to be absolutely beautiful!

Jonathon + Kassandra | Albuquerque Engagement Photographer | Alicia Lucia Photography

I was so happy when Kassandra came to me with their idea of incorporating baseball into their engagement session! These two met in college 6 years ago. Jon played baseball and she played softball & next week they will be saying "I Do"!

Congratulations Jon & Kassandra!!

Mommy + Me Session | Albuquerque Photographer | Alicia Lucia Photography

I think its safe to say that I left this session with that much more of a happy soul. Little miss Andrea turned two this year - she was absolutely adorable and so vivacious, which made our studio session together a breeze! When it was time to take portraits of both Andrea and her momma, I knew I was in for a treat. These two have a connection like no other. So in sync and cohesive, you can see it in every.single.photo. I was so honored to capture their sweet bond.
