As April rolls right into May, we can’t help but be the most excited for all of the upcoming spring celebrations and new chapters, especially graduations. When we first starting photography over a decade ago, senior portraits were a key to our success and reach in the community and these little sessions still hold the biggest part of our hearts.
We joined angel Anacelli at otherworldly Casa Rondeña Winery for one of the most breathtaking senior sessions ever. This incredible girl was serving major Jenna Ortega meets Selena Gomez vibes and we are so freaking here for it. From roaming around the expansive grounds to taking in all of the European-inspired architecture, this afternoon was one of our favorites ever.
Cheers to all of the graduates embarking on bigger adventures this spring, we’re so dang excited for you all!

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!

Kinley, an Old Town Senior Session
We spent a little bit of time this fall capturing some of our favorite kinds of portraits, from families to couples to seniors. We spent the most perfect little evening out on the Old Town Plaza with class of 2021 senior Kinley and we had the best time with this amazing gal.
Not only does Kinley have amazing style and the sweetest aura, she’s also an incredibly talented jewelry designer. Her little business Blue Lemon Designs sells the most unique handmade earrings in New Mexico. We’re always so in awe of what our stellar seniors create right here in the Land of Enchantment.
We can’t wait to see what you dream up next sweet Kinley, we know it’ll be stunning!!!

Mai-ly, a Senior Session in the Bosque
This year we’ve had even more time for senior sessions and we couldn't help but throw it back to one of our all time favorite sessions from a few years ago!
We adventured out into the Bosque with beautiful Mai-ly for the most gorgeous little evening. From the prettiest views (cue those stunning Sandias and patches of tall desert grass) to Mai-ly’s amazing outfits, we love love love when seniors bring their absolute A-game to sessions.
We’re so excited to capture even more seniors in our favorite New Mexico places!

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.
Sevilla, aka one of our favorite gals, has been in front of our camera three times now, once for her sister Tatiana’s wedding, then for her dreamy senior session, and now for her beautiful cap and gown photos, and we are fully obsessed with this girl’s style, beauty, and carefree personality. We can’t wait to see this girl absolutely soar in New York City, we’re so incredibly excited for you sweet girl!!

Sam, a Senior Session in the Desert
If there’s one thing we absolutely can’t get enough of in New Mexico, its adventurous senior sessions! This summer, we went to the most heavenly part of the desert with sweet sweet Sam and it was nothing short of magnificent.
We loved this special little session and we’re forever the biggest fans of Sam! She’s an absolutely stunning human being both in front of the camera and in all parts of life, we can’t wait to see what she accomplishes next!

Sevilla, a Dreamy Senior Session
We finished off our 2019 senior sessions with sweet, silly, and downright stunning Sevilla in that dreamy New Mexico light!
This gal brought her A-game, with four stellar outfits, the prettiest hair/makeup, and her outgoing personality. From strolling down a lane of fall foliage covered trees to wandering through New Mexico’s gorgeous landscapes, this session was the best way to spend an evening.
Cheers to more pretty babes like Sevilla and exploring the beautiful outdoors!

Laney, a Golden Hour Senior Session
As our wildly busy 2019 wedding season winds down, we were so thrilled to be able to capture a few stunning seniors before the weather gets super chilly!
Laney, aka a model in the making, made it so stinking easy for us to capture all of her beauty in the golden hour light. And to top off this sweet evening, she brought the most STUNNING rose adorned leather jacket and we’re forever dreaming of it!

Q, 2016 Albuquerque Academy Senior
A blog preview of the stunning Q! Graduating next spring from the Albuquerque Academy. Loved my time with her and her sweet momma, who makes a surprise cameo! View more of her gorgeous session and leave her some love below.
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!
