Grants Senior Portraits: Michelle

Posted on November 22, 2009

Yesterday Michelle, her mom, and her best friend came down to Las Cruces to have Michelle’s High School Senior Portraits taken – all the way from Grants! Michelle is super gorgeous – beautiful red hair and a gorgeous smile! We were so excited for her session! We’d been planning for her session for awhile now, and we couldn’t have been blessed with better weather. Fall is in full color here in the Mesilla Valley, and we took full advantage of the wonderful light out there!

When Michelle called us, she was super excited about our Rio Grande sessions, and really wanted some shots in the river. We were a little nervous about it, I’ll admit – being the end of November, I was worried that we’d all freeze to death in the Rio. Yes, it was cold. It was absolutely worth it! The good news is, the river is low right now, so rather than the usual hip deep wading we do during these sessions, it was only shin high. Cold though it was, we had the best time splashing around, and laughing at each other.

Michelle, we had such a great time with you and your family, thanks for making the four hour drive to see us! Best wishes for your senior year!

College Senior Portraits: Darcell

Posted on November 22, 2009

Darcell is about to graduate from NMSU in Biology, and is then headed off to vet school! What an accomplishment! When her mom contacted us about shooting some portraits for her graduation announcements, we decided to capture some images of her around Las Cruces, as well as trying to get some shots of her with the fall colors. Since Biology is her major, we headed over to NMSU as well as some other places around town and had a blast shooting!

We wish you the best in following your dreams Darcell!

Las Cruces High School Senior: Tina

Posted on October 26, 2009

Well, senior yearbook deadline is nearly upon us, but things haven’t slowed down much here at the studio! Yesterday Jason and I took Tina out for her senior portraits here in Las Cruces! We totally lucked out – for one, Tina has a GREAT smile, and is so easy to be around it’s ridiculous. Second – her boyfriend lives in an awesome house down on Alameda, and we shot quite a few of her portraits there. It couldn’t have been more beautiful! Loved the porch, and the light was so pretty out there!

After we finished up there, we headed down to Tina’s church, where she really wanted to get some shots. Her church is important to her, and I loved that she wanted to incorporate it into her photos. Once we’d gotten some shots there, we headed out to get a few in front of the Organ Mountains, a favorite this year with seniors and families alike.

Tina, we had a ton of fun with you!

Megan: Onate Senior

Posted on October 25, 2009

Megan is in the choir at Onate, and also very involved in drama, so it was natural to take her downtown for images at the Black Box and Rio Grande theatres. As usual, we did a few in the studio before heading out. She had a brand new yellow coat that she wore for the session, and we also shot a few in her choir dress. My favorites may just be the ones with her cute hat; they turned out with a great Broadway flair.

*Correction: Megan actually is an Onate Student – she was referred by one our Mayfield reps, so we got confused! Sorry about that Megan!

Dayana: Mayfield Senior

Posted on October 25, 2009

Dayana took her piano and sketchbooks to the foot of the Organ Mountains for some amazing portraits last week. The partly-cloudy sky at sunset provided great shadows and contrast for her session, and having the piano out in the desert provided a totally different type of contrast! Dayana’s Mom and Dad and brother helped us get the piano in place; it was much too awkward for one person to move. We think the resulting images were completely worth the hassle though!

Devon: Oñate Senior

Posted on October 19, 2009

Devon’s way into football at Oñate – so we shot his session on and around the practice field. Although he’s all about football, Devon wants to study something in the entertainment industries in collage, possibly sound recording engineering. The Oñate practice field has a great view of the Organ Mountains. We lucked out during his session: the coach was viewing tapes in the locker room, so we were able to do some shots in there as well. A great senior session – thanks Devon!
