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).

Okay, let me just say—snowy couple sessions are straight-up magical! Add a golden sunset, tons of laughter, and a little adventure, and you’ve got something special. E and N’s session in northern New Mexico was precisely that. We hiked to the most gorgeous snowy spot, surrounded by towering trees and crisp winter air. As the sun set, these two ran through the snow, laughing and playing, soaking up the moment.

Winter might just be my new favorite season for couple sessions, and J and K’s shoot is the perfect example of why! The serene beauty of the snow-covered landscape, the cozy vibes of winter fashion, and the golden glow of a sunset make for incredibly romantic time. Plus, there’s something extra special about braving the cold together.

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!
