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!
Thanks guys for such a fun shoot!

Sophie’s Fall Portraits
Posted on October 19, 2009
It’s always a treat to photograph Sophie, who must be one of the best-behaved toddlers we work with. Since we did her one-year-old photos, we’ve been anxious to work with her again, and we got our chance last week!
Sophie’s going trick-or-treating as a ladybug this year, and she brought her costume into the studio (with a little help from Grandma, who’s visiting from New Jersey) to pose on our fall set.

Baby Portraits in Las Cruces: Baby Avalynn
Posted on June 21, 2009
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!
Posted on June 21, 2009
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!

Portrait Session in Las Cruces: Gymnastics with Emma!
Posted on March 15, 2009
So our good friend Carrie’s daughter Emma won the gold medal in vault not too long ago, and we’re so proud of her! She works her rear end off at the gym all the time, and she’s really an amazing kid. Her mom wanted some shots of Emma out in the desert doing some of her poses and leaps and such, so of course, we headed out on this breezy Sunday afternoon to take some shots! We started out with the Organ Mountains as a backdrop, I mean, how can you go wrong there? The shot of Emma jumping is so hilarious – it looks like she’s jumping REALLY high – but it’s just the angle of the shot. We laughed and laughed about that one. Then we headed out to the Rio Grande, and did some stuff out there. I wanted to have Emma get in the water, but it just wasn’t in the cards today – it’s too chilly outside, and the river was full! Not a sandbar in sight, which is unusual.
Anyway, of course we had fun as always with Ms. Emma, and we got to see Mandy, her little sister as well, which is always a treat! Here’s some from this afternoon!

Holly + Family: Operation: Love ReUnited
Posted on March 8, 2009
Our second session today, was another Operation: Love ReUnited endeavor, this time with Holly and her three kiddos! We shot at Memorial Park again, since it seemed the logical place to do them, and we had a TON of fun. Her two boys, Micah and Malijah are a year apart – I thought they were twins at first! They’re such sweethearts, and their sister Alisha is beautiful. We ran around the park, taking photos on the cool stone bridge, and in trees. The boys really enjoyed climbing in the trees there – I have admit, they’re perfect for climbing!
One of the pictures we did is of each kid in their dads army jacket. Each jacket is a little different, they represent the jacket their dad was wearing at the time they were born. Their dad is already deployed, and so these pictures will surely mean a lot to him when he receives them in Iraq! We’re looking forward to photographing their entire family when he’s home on R&R sometime this summer!
Thanks for letting us photograph your family Holly, we had a total blast!
