Who knew 2020, the year of chaos and shattered plans, would be the year I’d finally get my own Halloween wedding in the foothills of Albuquerque! For years, I’ve been dreaming about black dresses, dark accents, and animal skulls. And to put all three into one wedding? Unreal. As I state constantly on my Instagram […]

When Morgan got in touch with me for my first couples session in White Sands National Park, I was ecstatic. I had been here for a family session and a couple other times while passing through on road trips, taking a few self portraits. But to actually do my specialty- couples photos- I couldn’t imagine […]

This Taos, New Mexico elopement came out of nowhere for me. A post in a New Mexico wedding vendors group asked for a photographer for a last minute, spontaneous elopement two weeks after. LEMME TELL YA, I JUMPED RIGHT ON THAT. Adventure elopements have been a dream for me since I started documenting weddings. It […]

Jaycie and Adam were supposed have their wedding on the day we ventured out to the Sandia Crest in Albuquerque. But of course, Covid did what it does best and threw them for a loop. They decided to postpone and runaway together to Albuquerque for a weekend getaway. I’m so honored they booked another session […]

Jory and Trevor chose one of their favorite hikes in the Sandia Mountains of New Mexico for their engagement session and I COULD NOT be more in awe. These mountains bring it every single time. I’m so inspired by them to be who I want. Meaning? I honestly, really, truly believed I was adventurous, badass, […]

Love wins. That’s really all there is to say. But, to explain: Andrea and Susan got married in the midst of the Coronavirus Pandemic and had to jump through and unreal amount of hurdles to do it. These two went through so many different options. Their big wedding had to be called off. Their plans to elope in a national park got thwarted by travel restrictions. Time and time again their plans had to be changed to fit the unpredictable roller coaster that is 2020. Finally, this plan worked. And it unfolded beautifully.

OOOOOKAY WELL THIS WAS THE MATERNITY SESSION OF DREAMS. Preslie made this night an absolute show-stopper. Those dresses, her makeup, that hat as a versatile accessory, and of course, that cute baby bump.

Here it is!! The first wedding after being terrified to leave my house for months, and it was just down the street from my house in Carlsbad, New Mexico. All about the baby steps, right?

Adelaide and Ramon are the example of perseverance. The amount of times they had to change their plans was unbelievable, and when they could still have a wedding, they worked around every restriction and found ways to go about it safely. Though looking out over a ceremony of people wearing masks is a little sobering, it’s so much better than nothing. It was so amazing to see even a smaller group of people come together in a pandemic to celebrate Addy and Ramon’s love. It truly is unstoppable.

This session was such a long time coming! At some points it seemed like the universe was telling us “absolutely not, this session must not exist”. The weather was never on our side, cars kept running into problems, a whole PANDEMIC. Four hours into driving to one of the last attempts, the skies turned almost […]
