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!

Las Cruces Children Portraits: Sheridan

Posted on November 22, 2009

It’s certainly family and child portrait season around here – with the holidays coming up, everyone is hurrying in to get their images taken for Christmas cards and family gifts. Last week we had Sheridan and her mom Stephanie in the studio for a quick session for their cards; and the idea was to get Sheridan to make sweet faces and naughty faces for their card concept. Sheridan is a total sweetheart, and full of energy – such a joy to photograph every time we see her! Here’s a quick compilation of the many faces of Sheridan! What do you think she’ll get in her stocking this year?

Family Portraits in Las Cruces: The Ortega Family!

Posted on November 10, 2009

On Friday, Jason and I met up with the Ortega family for their family portraits. We went all over town – stopping first to get some shots in front of the mountains, and then later on to the Rio Grande and Mesilla! This season is always so popular for family portraits in Las Cruces – the leaves are just starting to turn and the weather is crisp and perfect!

This family was such a joy to work with – they tramped through the desert without complaint! We’ll see you guys in the studio around Thanksgiving!

Family Portraits in Las Cruces: Emma at the Corn Maze!

Posted on November 2, 2009

Sunday night we met Emma and her parents down at the Mesilla Valley Corn Maze for some portraits! Emma’s mom Julie really wanted some shots of her in the pumpkin patch, playing around; and some family portraits as well. The Corn Maze is such an excellent place to go for portraits – even though there’s an admission fee, it’s well worth the price! There’s tons to do, an amazing pumpkin patch, and a new maze design every year.

The first thing we did is hop on the hay ride out to the pumpkin patch! You wouldn’t believe how many pumpkins they still had out there – must have been 10,000 of them! We had so much fun taking shots of Emma as she went from pumpkin to pumpkin, judging which one was the best, finding the biggest, and generally having a great time. Then we loaded back up on the trailer and headed over to the corn maze itself! We got some really cute shots of the family, and of Emma in the maze – she’s so dynamic and full of life!

We shot around the grounds a little bit, and while we took some photos of her parents together, Emma went and got her face painted at a nearby booth – you can see the result – a beautiful butterfly! What a perfect choice for such a sweet free spirited little girl!

Then it was time to say goodbye – but Jason and I hung out for a little bit and had some roasted corn, it’s the best!

Oh Brother!: Family Portraits in Las Cruces

Posted on July 21, 2009

I know, I know folks, it’s been too long since we blogged. I’m on it, I swear. We have been so busy catching up from vacation, and finally I’m getting around to blogging this cute session we did the other day! Troy and Hillary are brother and sister – their mom called us to book a session to have their portraits done while Troy was in town from college in Idaho! We tooled around in the studio for a little while, but my favorite shots were when we headed out to the desert. We put our favorite red chair out there, and just had a blast with messing around, and goofing off! It was fun guys!
