Before I became a mother, I wasn’t fond of capturing motherhood. Heck I stayed far away from being called an El Paso motherhood photographer. Three kids later… I love capturing motherhood. I thought we were going to get rained on. Instead, we got hit with a windstorm Typically we don’t get rain but it is […]
I participated in a model session with two fellow photographer friends and I loved everything about this dreamy mommy & me session. Located in the upper valley of El Paso, this session was out of my norm. Shot during mid morning when I usually only shoot sunrise or sunset. Dress is Reclamation Design Company. You […]
The Guiterrez Family. I’ve been photographing this beautiful family for years! Although I am a photographer based in El Paso, Texas, when Steph suggested White Sands, New Mexico, I was like LET’S DO IT! White Sands, New Mexico has to be one of the prettiest places in the southwest. Every time I’ve gone, the skies […]
We are going to back track. I shot my last wedding when I was 37 weeks pregnant. Yep. You read that correctly. I DO NOT recommend it. I could have sworn that being on my feet would put me in labor but it didn’t. Week 38, our household got hit with a cold. Honestly, I […]
You would think this styled shoot was straight out of Pinterest. Isn’t it so dreamy!? The Meadows is a new wedding venue in Fabens, Texas (30 miles outside of El Paso, Texas). It is El Paso’s only luxury farm weddings + events venue. It’s surrounded by cotton fields and the most amazing sunsets you’ll ever […]

You would think with child # 2, you would have everything down. NOPE. Max is soooo much different than Eli. Max takes a bottle and pacifier. Eli didn’t. Max can be rocked to sleep. Eli had to nurse to sleep. Max breaks out of his swaddles. Eli didn’t. Let’s talk about sleep. Max hit the […]
Erica and Rick had their first date at Chico’s Tacos. When she asked if I thought it was weird to incorporate it, I was like, NOPE! Lets do it! KLAQ and KISS FM did an article about them, Couple Uses Iconic El Paso Treat in Engagement Shoot. If you don’t know what Chico’s Tacos is, its […]
HOLY. MOLY. I am 38 weeks and 6 days pregnant. Everyone around me didn’t think I would make it this far because Eli was born 38 weeks and 4 days. Heck.. Everyone swore I would give birth right after our Disneyland trip but NOPE. I haven’t had any contractions yet. Just the usual braxton hicks. […]
