Nick & Taryn | Family

This shoot was my very FIRST official one in New Mexico, and oh my goodness, it felt so good to be back behind the camera!! This session with Taryn & Nick and sweet little Dom will most certainly always stay one of my favorites from this chapter here in NM – they are such a beautiful family in every way possible!!!

I first met Taryn through the “Blessed Is She | Southwest”  Facebook page, and we instantly discovered that we had roughly a dozen – or more – similarities the very first time we chatted!  From faith and life interests, to mom life and family life, I am so thankful to have found a friend in Taryn! 

We spent this shoot in the Sandia foothills, with gorgeous light, an amazing backdrop (with a story, keep reading!), amazing company… and about 60000 gnats. You can’t tell in the images because these folks are TROOPERS, but we were all being eaten alive. Nevertheless, everyone did amazing!! A special shout out to Taryn’s beautiful sister who tagged along to help out with Dom!… she provided the best entertainment to date at a shoot for me!! 

I love getting to know personal things about clients during a session, and during this one I learned that Nick proposed to Taryn at the top of the Sandia mountain (after a very long hike to the summit; see mountain below!) AND they’re celebrating their third wedding anniversary this week!! It was all such perfect timing! 

Thank you guys for supporting my business here in New Mexico, and thank you even more for being such wonderful friends!
