A Day at The Beach, Family Photographs
This is the goal of the family photograph, this image.. Seconds before the little one to the right was posing behind Mom and Dad, then decided we got the shots and off she went. Genius. For Safety we stayed one “Zebra” distance away- brilliant reference for the kiddos. I wore a facial covering the whole time, as the family did walking to the spot and back. Thank you! These girls are so fun. Looking forward to working with you again. […]

Classic Family Studio Portraits and of course, Bubbles.
“You’re the best Nicole, we absolutely love working with you.” – Nayeli I LOVE a classic portrait in the studio, simple, no props, well one prop, The bubble machine. It seems more fun for the parents than the kiddos, or perhaps I have the most fun, but the point is, it’s fun. I want the experience to be fun, so when you look back on the photos, you remember that time with your family, how FUN it was.

Rio Grande Mud Bath- Albuquerque
Family photos at The Rio Grande. The Rio Grande bosque spanish for “forest” offers a unique environment in arid Albuquerque. Large cottonwood trees, coyote willow, and New Mexico olive create a cool, shady forest and provide habitat for beaver, numerous bird species, turtles, and snakes.

Backyard family photoshoot morphs into Garage photoshoot for a 1989 Kawasaki KZ 1000 Restoration
While shooting their family portraits in their home, I saw the side project in the garage, a Kawasaki that has been the Dad’s dream project he was working on with his son. I joked and said of you don’t happen to have a couple pairs of dickies overalls for a photo shoot do you? He pointed to the wall and there were two hanging right there.

Happy Campers- In a place called Happy Camp- 70’s inspired family photos vibe with OG RV
Family photos at Happy Camp. This was a great shoot, just letting loose, having fun and – may fave- getting shots in between the shots. Those fun, organic, takes in between poses, smiles etc, were eyes closed and laughter happens, a fun place, after all we were at Happy Camp. It’s understandable to look at pinterest for ideas / inspiration. My Advice? find a photographer whose style you are drawn to, then show up to the set, no expectations, ready […]
