When Anilla initially contacted me, she was looking for something a little bit different than ordinary “posed” or studio photography for her and her family.

After consulting a map, we decided to head up to the Manzano open space to appreciate the beauty of the landscape as well as get a little bit of snow in the lifestyle/candid photographs.

There were sticks, snowballs and cacti involved, as well as a nice opportunity to enjoy some fresh air while capturing relaxed and natural portraits for the entire family.

One of the advantages of shooting outdoors it that there is always an interesting backdrop to be had here in New Mexico, even in the late fall, early winter.

These are pulled from a photoshoot I did several weeks back. Josh was a good sport and despite the fact that the wind was pretty chilly (for us New Mexicans), he did great. I look forward to hooking up with Josh again for some indoorsy type of work.

Scott & Lofn were married at the First Universalist Unitarian Church in Albuquerque, New Mexico on December 12, 2009. It was a magically beautiful day had by all.
The bride wore blue and the colors were blue & silver. This was a beautiful twist on a traditional ceremony and I was honored to share and capture the special memories of this unique wedding day.
