There’s something incredibly special about photographing a maternity session at Sandia Crest. Standing above the clouds, with panoramic views stretching across the New Mexico desert, it’s one of the most stunning locations near Albuquerque—a place where every expecting mama feels like she’s on top of the world.

As a maternity photographer based in Albuquerque, NM, I love taking clients to the Crest for its dramatic mountain views, soft golden light, and the way the wind catches each gown just perfectly. The combination of cool mountain air and warm, glowing sunsets creates a dreamy, cinematic feel that makes every image unforgettable.

All of the gowns for this session were provided from my exclusive client closet, which includes over 200 dresses in a wide variety of styles, colors, and sizes (S–XXL).

Sandia Crest is one of the most iconic spots in New Mexico. Whether you’re envisioning soft, emotional portraits or bold, cinematic images, this location delivers it all.

If you’re expecting and dreaming of a maternity session surrounded by New Mexico’s breathtaking mountain views, I’d love to create something special for you.

Every maternity session includes full access to my curated client closet.
