Liz and Pat: El Paso Wedding
Posted on December 18, 2009
Liz and Pat were married at the El Paso Country Club in late November. The wedding started late in the evening; we met Liz at the Club at 5pm, and the ceremony started well after sunset. Liz had been over earlier in the day to decorate the reception hall; the Country Club looked amazing! When we arrived, Liz’s aunt was putting the finishing touches on the wedding cake, which was situated in the center of the Country Club’s vintage atrium. The whole hall smelled delicious.
Pat arrived just before the ceremony, already in his full-dress uniform. As her sisters and best friend preceded Liz down the aisle, the anticipation was plain on Pat’s face. He lit up when she appeared and made her way forward, to a processional on the harp.
Liz’s uncle gave the couple some timeless advice on maintaining wedded bliss, some serious, some a bit lighter, garnered from his own years as a husband. Liz’s sister played a solo piece on the cello, which Liz requested – it was Liz’s favorite when they were growing up together. After the rings were exchanged, the newlyweds came back down the aisle, and it was time for dinner – after a few formal photos.
The El Paso Country Club catered dinner, which was amazing, while mariachis serenaded the guests. Right after dinner, Liz and Pat cut their wedding cake. The cake topper belonged to Liz’s grandparents; fittingly, it depicted an army husband and his new wife. Next were toasts by the best man and maid of honor. When the DJ took over, the crowd broke out onto the dance floor, and the rest of the evening was music and dancing!

Posted on December 15, 2009
Emilee and her mom went out with us last weekend for some great photos! Since Emilee’s a cheerleader at Rival, we had to take create some images of her in her cheer uniform. We also took her to a few of our favorite spots around Las Cruces. Emilee was great to work with; she has a future as a model!

Family Portraits in Las Cruces: Robin and Family!
Posted on December 6, 2009
This afternoon we caught up with Robin and her family – she’s about to deploy for Iraq soon, and they wanted to get some family portraits done before she has to leave. They drove up from El Paso and met us here at the studio, where we captured a few quick photos. After that, we headed down the road for some more shots down by one of our favorite fences.
Thank you Robin for all you do for our country, we wish you well on your deployment!

Las Cruces Family Portraits: The Mott Family!
Posted on December 6, 2009
Wow, with Christmas creeping up on us, we’ve been behind on our blogging! Not so long ago, we met up with the Mott family for their family portraits, and here they are! First, we met up at at playground where the families two youngest sons (now grown up) used to play when they were young. They really wanted to do some portraits on the playground, so we played and got some fun shots of everyone horsing around. After that, we headed out to the desert for some more traditional work, and some nice portraits of grandma near her home.
Finally, we all headed to grandmas house for some portraits around the piano, and we captured this great shot of the whole family. I really love the black and white shot of grandma by the piano – they brought it all the way across the country when they moved here, because the piano has been in the family for a long time, and she’s played it all her life. What a wonderful, fun and sweet family, we really had a blast doing your family portraits!
