There’s something magical about Old Town Albuquerque at sunrise, particularly in winter. For A + V’s engagement session, we met in the early morning when the holiday decorations were still displayed and not a soul was around. Arriving as early as we did allowed us to have the entire place to ourselves. The stillness, the crisp desert air, the glow of string lights — it felt as if we had stepped into a quiet little snow globe scene (minus the snow, of course).

Sometimes, the most unexpected weather brings the most magical moments. That’s exactly what happened during L and B’s summer couple session at Luke’s property. As I was driving over, the rain poured down, but then, as if by magic, a double rainbow appeared, arching over the sky. It felt like a good omen for the evening ahead!

There’s something magical about returning to a place that holds so many memories, and for T, Albuquerque is just that. I had the pleasure of capturing their maternity session in the stunning Sandia Mountains, where the warm summer breeze and breathtaking vistas made for an unforgettable backdrop!
