I live in Albuquerque, Maternity Sessions are one of my favorite sessions to photography. I do capture maternity sessions outdoors. Those sessions are more lifestyle. My heart lives in the studio for maternity session. I love controlling the light and really focusing on the beauty, power and strength of a mother with child.

Yes, this time in a woman’s life can be very trying, exhausting and down right scare at times. I know, I have been there. But there is so much more to it. You become a mother as soon as you know you are pregnant. Your are the vessel that cares and nutures your little being before they join us earthside.

I feel it is so important to capture this time because even though nine months feels like an eternity. It is so fleeting. Your body is forever changed.

I have photographed this family since big sister was about 6 months. Now she is going to have a little brother. Their mamas had to endure such a journey to get their little ones, so I am so happy to play a part in capturing this amazing time for them.

This one of me best Albuquerque Maternity Sessions. Everything came together so beautifully.

And now I can’t wait to meet their newest addition for the newborn photography session.
