Avalon Lake in Carlsbad is a newfound place that serves as an incredible backdrop to maternity photos. It not only tests my tiny Corolla’s limits of driving down dirt roads, but also offers views unlike anything in the area. Whenever I post anything from this place, I get so many messages asking where it is. […]

If there’s any way to kick off the 2021 wedding season, this was it. This backyard wedding in Santa Fe was everything you can describe this year as: hopeful, joyful, full of anticipation. I took this wedding as a sign of amazing things to come. Drinks with friends will be back. Cheering crowds will be […]

I am 100% heart eyes over all the colorful details happening in this Santa Fe wedding. I could make a whole separate blog post about them! The flowers made by The Bosque Flower Studio were some of the most vivid I’ve ever seen. Fushia and mustard yellow flowers just gave so much life to the […]

You just go up there, say some vows, do some kissing, wear a new ring, prance back down the aisle like a happy gazelle, right? Well yeah. BUT! There are ways […]

The Location- Jemez Springs, New Mexico New Mexico still amazes me with how much variety it has. You can be in the flat desert in the morning, drive 4 hours, and end up nestled in a canyon in Jemez Springs taking engagement photos for a gorgeous couple. When people ask where they should go for […]

Hold up guys, let me reiterate that: this wedding took place on a mountain in Albuquerque. Not at the bottom of a mountain. Not at a venue with mountain views. This wedding was literally on top of a mountain peak in the Sandias. And it wasn’t just that this wedding was there, Jory and Trevor […]
