This beautiful maternity session took place in the breathtaking Jemez Mountains — one of my favorite locations near Albuquerque, New Mexico. I’ve had the honor of photographing this sweet family for years, and it’s always such a compliment when clients return to me as their family grows. This time, they’re preparing to welcome their second child, and the love and excitement between them was so special to capture.

Mom looked absolutely stunning in dresses from my client closet, which includes over 200 gowns in a wide range of sizes. Having access to a curated wardrobe makes planning your maternity session so much easier — and ensures that every look complements New Mexico’s natural beauty perfectly.

If you’re looking for a maternity photographer in Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Santa Fe, or the surrounding areas, it’s best to book early in your second trimester for a session between 30–34 weeks. I’d love to help you capture this beautiful season of motherhood!

A Desert Dream | Maternity Session in New Mexico

There are moments in this business that truly take my breath away—and this maternity session was one of them. When a couple chooses to travel three hours just to have their maternity photos taken by me, I can’t help but feel incredibly honored and humbled. It’s not just a photo session—it’s trust, connection, and the beginning of a lifelong memory.

This beautiful mama-to-be made the journey to Albuquerque, New Mexico, and absolutely glowed in the golden light of the desert. She carefully selected dresses from my curated client closet—home to over 200+ gowns in sizes ranging from S to XXL—choosing styles that not only highlighted her natural beauty but also harmonized perfectly with the soft tones of the New Mexico desert.

As a maternity photographer based in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Rio Rancho, New Mexico, one of my favorite things about photographing in this region is how stunning the natural landscape is. The warm hues, open skies, and quiet beauty of the desert create a timeless backdrop for celebrating motherhood.

Whether you’re local or coming from out of town, I strive to create a seamless experience from start to finish. From helping you style your look with a complimentary wardrobe, to guiding you through a relaxed and emotional session—my goal is always to help you feel confident, celebrated, and at ease.

This session was a perfect example of how intentional styling, a breathtaking location, and a beautiful connection between parents-to-be can come together to create pure magic.

If you’re expecting and dreaming of capturing your pregnancy in a meaningful way, I’d love to hear from you. Booking in advance is highly recommended as my calendar fills quickly, especially during golden season here in New Mexico.
