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!

Grants Senior Portraits: Michelle

rozilynn — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 20:15:36 +0000

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!

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?

Sophie’s Fall Portraits

csoul — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 02:50:15 +0000

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.

Mayfield Senior: Alex!

rozilynn — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 03:12:36 +0000

I really love photographing seniors. Especially when it means they take me on a ride in their dune buggy. Which is what we did with Alex the other evening for his senior session. Alex is super laid back, and just an all around cool guy. We photographed his entire session right there in his own neighborhood – and quite a few at his house!

When we first pulled up, the first thing we saw was the awesome vintage Chevy parked in the driveway. Apparently, when Alex first learned to drive, he drove it to school a couple of times – which would have given me a total heart attack! It was way cool – I especially liked the hula girl on the dashboard. So we got some great stuff of him and the car.

After that, we took the dune buggy down to the families orchards, where we got some shots of Alex standing in some fields, with gorgeous golden light that we rarely see down here! Ahhh, I love fall. We did some stuff with his dune buggy, then headed back towards their house for a few final pictures.

His family also had a great old truck out back by their workshop, and their house is literally right down the block from some cool train tracks, so we wrapped up his session by getting some neat stuff on the tracks, and a flat-bed train car!

Since we were running out of time, we decided to have Alex stop by the next morning, and get a few studio shots for the yearbook, and with his guitar and boxing gloves before he headed down to El Paso for the day with his family. We had tons of fun man!

Senior Portraits: Aimee

rozilynn — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 18:59:11 +0000

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!

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!

Maternity Photos: Melissa & Double Trouble!

rozilynn — Sat, 16 May 2009 18:53:59 +0000

Melissa is going to be doubly blessed! This beautiful and lucky lady is having twins in about 10 weeks! We’re so excited for her! Now usually, we don’t show a lot of maternity stuff on the blog because it’s so personal, but Melissa gave me permission to share this particular maternity photo. Her little boy is two years old, and anxiously awaiting the arrival of his new baby brothers and/or sisters! They’re way more patient than I could ever be, it’s going to be a surprise!

Best of luck to you all!
