Over Christmas some of our clients, Rebecca and Matthew Gooden, sent me the nicest bouquet of orchids! Unfortunately there was a little mix up with Fed-Ex and I didn’t receive them until after Christmas but surprisingly the flowers fared very well and still looked perfect when they came out of the box!

Every year my numerous Christmas Cacti put on stunning display of holiday cheer! I have two cacti at the gallery that are currently blooming and two more at home that are loaded with buds!

I’ve been feeding the birds for a few days and can’t believe the flocks of them that show up in the back yard now!  I guess once the word gets around they all know where there’s a free meal.  Unfortunately I don’t have a clear shot from the house to photograph the birds without scaring them away but what’s almost as fun as watching the birds is watching my cats watch the birds.  They haven’t moved from the back door all day!

Stay warm  and stay tuned.  More weddings and portraits coming to the blog soon!

Meet Ashley and Lorenzo, a fun couple  that I’ve  had the opportunity to photograph twice now.   The first time we did the engagement photos, it ended up being a sweltering 100+ in Old Town, straight up HOT!  We did the session so They could get their save the date cards out but we set up a second session for a little later in the summer. We did the second session at the Albuquerque Bio Park, a great place to shoot.  Stay tuned to catch Ashley’s bridal session and their wedding pictures, the wedding is just around the corner.  Thanks for a fun couple of sessions you two, I had a great time and I look forward to the wedding.

Not bad for over 100 degrees.  Now for some photos shot on a reasonable mid 80 degree day.

Ashlie and Matthew were married on October 3rd at the Prairie Star but before I get into blogging that wedding here is Ashley’s bridal session on October 1st in Old Town!

With both of our families living in New Mexico, Rick and I have a lot of Christmas festivities.    On Christmas Eve my family gathers for dinner at my mom’s house and then on Christmas morning the family congregates again at my aunt Jerilyn’s house for presents and brunch.  Since my recent discovery of phone blogging I made it a point to take plenty of iPhone photos with which to document the goings on.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Something I thought I’d never see; Paul Adams with a lap dog

Yep, an iguana mirror

It seems that because I do most of the blogging people just assume that I do most of the shooting as well. Well kids, this is not really the case. Rick shoots his fair share of all kinds of things and I have rounded up several photos from my vast archive to illustrate!

I woke up early this morning to watch the sun rise in hopes of getting a glowing pink and orange sky of biblical proportions. Unfortunately, the clouds on the eastern horizon were so thick that the light from the sun did not even penetrate them . One of my favorite things about New Mexico is the sky and, being a photographer, I am always looking to the sky to see what’s up with the weather and light. All of the following images were shot on my iPhone over the past year, usually going to or coming from a “real” photo session, a few were shot on location.

You’ve all met Barbra and Melissa before in the Engagement Session and now here is the wedding!  Barbra and Melissa were married on October 17th at the Prairie Star Restaurant in Bernalillo.  I know they did a lot of homework when it came to selecting their wedding photographer and I was truly honored to be part of this event.

To Barbra and Melissa, thank you so much for making me a part of your special day!

Vanessa and Stephen were married on August 15th. The ceremony was was Risen Savior Catholic Community with a reception at Sandia Resort & Casino.  Rick and I shot this wedding together so there were LOTS of photos!  We didn’t do much shooting at the church aside from the ceremony so most everything else was shot at Sandia Casino.

To Vanessa and Stephen, thank you so much for making us a part of your special day!

I was looking back through the thousands of photos that are on my phone and I realized that these little phone pictures represent a visual account of my life for the past year. Obviously my professional life is clearly depicted on the pages of this blog but what about the little details of the day to day? Are they important? Do they mean something? I think they do even if it’s just for myself.

Today I was thinking that I miss the flowers. Yesterday was the Winter Solstice making it the shortest day of the year. That means today the first day of a gradual journey that eventually leads back to Spring and the reemergence of plant life.

In the meantime I can enjoy the flowers from this past season and share them with you.  Here’s to the first day of many journeys.
