Here’s 3 things you’ll want to think about when it comes to scheduling your senior session:

– Sooner than later: The best thing you can do is BOOK YOUR SESSION EARLY! I book my sessions out a few months in advance and have to turn potential clients away every year because I’m completely sold out! This doesn’t mean that you have to HAVE your session early! This just means you are […]

Two brothers. Two completely different personaliti Two brothers. Two completely different personalities in front of the camera… and I loved getting to photograph both of them. 🖤✨

Sebastian was ALL about senior pics from the start, while Sheldon took a little more time to warm up to the camera 😂 But by the end of his session, he was smiling, relaxed, transitioning his facial expression without any direction and honestly looked like he was having a pretty good time. #SayCheese 🤭

There’s something really special about getting to capture multiple siblings through the years. Watching families come back and trusting me with these milestones means so much to me. 🥹 Thx @aledoux4 it’s been an honor working with you and both of your boys. 

Congratulations to Sheldon on graduating from The ASK Academy! 🎓

Okay but can we talk about how BEAUTIFUL these ear Okay but can we talk about how BEAUTIFUL these early morning vibes were at UNM?! 😍🌸✨

Meet Laila , one of my gorgeous Class of 2026 seniors 💕 After having to reschedule her session a couple times because of weather, we finally made it happen last Saturday at 7AM… and honestly? It ended up being absolutely perfect.

I usually shoot during golden hour in the evenings, so a sunrise senior session was a fun change for me! The campus was quiet, peaceful, the weather was AMAZING, and we practically had the entire place to ourselves. Plus… easy parking at UNM on a Saturday morning plus we beat the wind and rain that rolled in later that afternoon? That alone felt like a miracle 😂👏

Laila showed up looking stunning in every single outfit and completely trusted my vision for her session. From the dreamy florals to the soft morning light reflecting off the water, this session felt straight out of a spring dream 🌷☀️

Class of 2026 seniors — would YOU ever do a sunrise senior session with AMP?! 🌅👇
