Jeanette & Jelilah: Engaged in Las Cruces!

Posted on October 31, 2009

Jeanette and Jelilah took us around Las Cruces last Saturday for their engagement session! We began the afternoon Downtown, where our favorite shot in front of the Rio Grande Theater was modified by an outdoor art exhibit. After some careful thought and discussion, we decided that the stack of blue jeans was supposed to be a yucca – but we’re still not 100% sure about that. In need of refreshment, we made a Starbuck’s pit stop before heading towards the NMSU Botanical Gardens and Mesilla. We wrapped up the day with portraits in front of the mountains.

We’re looking forward to photographing their wedding next fall at Kent Hall. Jeanette, Jeliliah, it’s always great working with you; we can’t wait to see you again!

Dawn and David: Married in Mesilla

Posted on September 20, 2009

Dawn and David had a great wedding and reception at Josephina’s Old Gate in Mesilla. David and Dawn’s mom decorated the reception area while Dawn got into her dress in the Inn. Aiden, their son, ran around helping everyone with everything – especially dropping his sippy cup everywhere!

Dawn put together all of her own flowers, and the fall theme was picked up in the details of the wedding. David’s parents showed up unexpectedly for the ceremony, and were able to stay for photos, which is always a nice surprise! After the ceremony, under an arch in the back garden, Josephina’s was nice enough to let us capture a few bridals in the antique store. After a few more around Mesilla, we returned to the patio for the reception.

After dinner under the setting sun, DJ Amer spun up the tunes, and the dance floor filled up. Amer is an experienced club DJ, but this was his first wedding, and he did a great job keeping things hopping all night. Dawn and David are such a cute couple, and Roz and I join all of their friends and family in extending our best wishes to them!

Matt + Tara : Engagements

Posted on August 19, 2009

Screaming Light took Matt and Tara down to Mesilla for some incredible engagement portraits last week! Roz and I had a great time working with them; I just wish their wedding was also going to be in the area. Unfortunately for us, it’s planned for Maine, where Matt’s stationed permanently. We sure had fun shooting their engagements though!

Las Cruces Senior Portraits: Jessica!

Posted on August 19, 2009

I’ve been a terrible blogger this last week – but we have been swamped with seniors who are coming up against the deadline to get their senior pictures done! Last Friday morning, we did Jessica’s senior portraits, and we just had so much fun it was ridiculous! We did our standard studio stuff, and then we went down to some various locations that Jessica was interested in shooting at. It got pretty hot, pretty quick, so we worked quick to keep from dying out in the sun!

Here’s a few of Jessica’s shots! We had tons of fun!

Senior Portraits: Aimee

Posted on August 2, 2009

Wow, Las Cruces sure has some great looking seniors! This weekend Aimee came out to the studio and had us do her senior portraits – and what a varied young woman she is! Before her session, Aimee stopped and grabbed one of her favorite tutu’s and brought it with her to the studio. I’m not sure how long it takes for a dancer to get to the point where Aimee is, but it sure was impressive to see her en pointe! I had to stand on a chair to get some of the shots – she’s tall!

Jason shot the next series – Aimee in her golf shirt with her clubs, and even HE had to stand on a chair – but in his defense, it was because the club when extended over Aimee’s head required a lot of height and distance in the studio! My personal favorite is the one with her club behind her neck.

She also brought along a great little black dress, and that gave us an excuse to use our new favorite backdrop, and I love the RayBans with the dress – beautiful!

After we were done in the studio, we took our favorite red chair, and headed out to Mesilla, where Aimee wanted to have some shots done to emulate a photo she had done when she was a child. We really had a great time with her, it was tons of fun! We wish you well in your senior year Aimee!

Senior Pictures: Sharayah

Posted on June 1, 2009

Sharayah is one of our senior reps this year from Las Cruces High School! She came by this weekend, and we had an awesome time going out on the town and shooting some fun photos! First we headed down close to Mesilla, and had a blast shooting around the Mercado! Then we headed over to what must be Las Cruces only bamboo grove. I got laughed at because I thought they were corn stalks. Hey, that’s what they looked like to me!

Sharayah brought lots of really fun props with her to her shoot – a must for making a senior portrait session unique and interesting. When you’re planning your session, think about the things that make you who you are – and bring stuff with you – we’ll figure out something fun to do with it! Bring your favorite things from your closet, and the kitchen sink too! But enough gabbing, on with Sharayah’s gorgeous photos!
