Family Portraits in Las Cruces: Robin and Family!

rozilynn — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 23:53:38 +0000

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!

rozilynn — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 19:11:44 +0000

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

rozilynn — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 19:52:19 +0000

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!

rozilynn — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 20:20:49 +0000

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!

rozilynn — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 03:49:23 +0000

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!

Thanks guys for such a fun shoot!

Oh Brother!: Family Portraits in Las Cruces

rozilynn — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 00:58:24 +0000

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!

Baby Portraits in Las Cruces: Baby Avalynn

rozilynn — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 22:13:08 +0000

That’s a big cup of baby! Avalynn and her mom Deb came by the studio the other day for some portraits! Avalynn is such a good natured baby – she put up with being put in the tea cup very well! Deb had so many cute little outfits for her, we had a hard time choosing which ones to put her in! Babies are so fun to photograph, but you generally only get a short amount of time before they get fed up with the flashing lights, and constant undressing and redressing. She handled it like a champ though – it wasn’t until it started getting close to bed time that she decided she was done modeling for us!

We’re were so excited to have you guys come out, she’s going to be a real heartbreaker!

Sophie: Cute as a bug!

rozilynn — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 21:23:48 +0000

Friday morning I had the pleasure of meeting cute little Sophie at the studio for her one year portrait session! Sophie has the most stunning eyes, and gorgeous red hair! We did some regular portraits with her in her adorable outfits her mom had brought, and then…. we decided to destroy a birthday cake! Here’s an abbreviated version of the cake destruction, and a few of her precious photos from their session! We sure had fun Sophie, can’t wait to watch you grow!

It took awhile to get all the pink icing off. Sophie wasn’t real sure she was supposed to be that messy!

Sandra & Nyman – At Home and In Love

rozilynn — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 23:29:43 +0000

You might remember seeing Sandra and Nyman’s wedding photos here on the blog not too long ago – I was so disappointed that I wasn’t able to be at her wedding because of my surgery. I promised Sandra that as soon as I got to feeling better, we’d come out to the house and take some photos of her and Nyman just being themselves, and get her in her wedding dress and do some fabulous bridals at their beautiful home. Well we got that chance this weekend, and it was tons of fun! Rawley, their dog is such a blast – he wanted to be right there into everything, right until it was time for him to sit still for pictures. We threw a stick and a ball for him for awhile, and just generally had a great time.

I’m so glad we got a chance to do this guys! You two are so fun and easy to be around, you make our job easy!

What a great weekend, good friends, and good times!

This morning we got to meet Ashley, who is expecting her son Cooper this summer! We started out in the studio, with the traditonal cloth wrapping and belly shots, and then headed down to Mesilla and had a blast shooting at the Mercado! We wish Ashely and her growing family the best! Can’t wait to meet the little guy!
