…with the girl from  La Bamba Pinups.

Get the look! 

We have a studio but we Love location and theme shoots!

We had fun at the Carnival shooting this look for La Bamba Pinups, high rise shorts and cute anchor top can both be found on online shop.  Those and some other really cute retro fashions and  inspiration.

Thanks to our beautiful model, Lauren for putting together a great look and having the good idea to make a trip to the Carnival!  …even if we did get a little bit kicked out.

It was a really fun shoot and well worth the drama we caused!

…and she looks good in Pink

Friday we had the good fortune to meet and photograph professional boxer, kick boxer and black belt Brandi ‘Babydoll’ Montoya in our studio.  If you’ve been following Brandi, you already know she’s kind, beautiful, tough and gracious besides being a great athlete.  You can definitely add us to her growing list of fans.

I wanted to share some of the off session shots we took in our loft where we do mostly Glamour Photography.  The other images won’t be ready to share yet, but this is a glimpse into my favorite part of the shoot…

Love those Boots!

She’s a girl who loves pink, fighting and her fans…

Oh …Did I mention she can kick ass?

~We can’t wait to share more~

Thanks for a great shoot Brandi!

We’ve been working on the studio.  We’ve done the floor, a little bit of painting, a new floor for the loft, some moving in and even painted a few stairs …and We are officially in our new space.  We have a Studio!

We are planning a ribbon cutting ceremony, grand opening specials and open house.  You can come in now through June 22, 2012 to enter your name to win a photo shoot/package worth $300 and if you check in on Facebook while you’re there, you’ll get a free 8×10 print of your shoot.  Just stop in to check out the new space, we’d love to have you come in.  You can always book with us later.
 We have props and lots of ideas for shoots.  We are looking foward to working with you to capture some really great images you’ll love.

Our studio is ready, and it is a work in progress, which I think is awesome.  There will always be something changing or being added to the studio, whether it’s paint on another step or an added prop.  Ideas, imagination and love of what we do are what drives us.

 We are always adding props and wardrobe.  There is a great loft upstairs full of props, wardrobe and a more intimate, private setting for glamour and boudoir sessions.

Finally!  A home for all my props!

Can’t wait to show you around the studio!  Hope to see you soon at 1228 Parkway Drive, Suite C in Santa Fe New Mexico ~ Visit us at Cinematic Afterglow where we do photography and video!

Extremely happy to announce the opening of our Studio in June 2012!
We will be located on 1228 Parkway Drive (off Rufina, 1 block East of Richards) Suite C in Santa Fe, New Mexico!

We’re still working on the details but we’ll keep you posted so you can stop by to see us in our new space!

…and it might just be a princess.  Or not.  Either way, Baby will be very lucky and very loved with a very smart and a really cute big sister who can’t wait to meet her new brother or sister.

Love …and this is Love

We had a great time photographing Jen and her beautiful princess.  Actually, my assistant and I both left the shoot that day a Princess.  It’s official.  Little J said we were.  Both of us.  She made it so, and, Yes …we believe her.  I think you should too.

“You’re a Princess!”

Motherhood is such a special joy and it is even more so when you know so.

Pregnant women are some of the most beautiful women in the world.  Lucky are the women who have people in their life who realize it, and blessed is the woman who knows this for herself.

Thank you Jen and J for a great day, and letting us share in your joy!

We love when you visit, come back soon!

(…and thank you Danielle, you were an awesome assistant on this shoot!)

New Mexico’s culture, land and its people are worth learning more about whether you are a local, plan on visiting or even just have a dream of visiting.  There is so much to learn, we are proud to share one of New Mexico’s gems with you ~ Native American Jeweler and artist, Zelda Abeita.  Here is a very small sample of her beautiful work.

Turquoise necklace…

We both wanted this shoot to be beautiful with a bit of edginess so we worked together to add the black touches to the strapless tulle wedding dress, popped on a belt and achieved a great look.  Brides should definitely not be afraid of adding color or personality to their wedding look.  Or, if you’d like to add some pizazz to your wedding dress after the fact, we’d love to work with you on styling, hair and makeup (by Dina ofcourse!) and get those pictures of you that you really want in your wedding dress!

Santa Fe is a great place for a photo shoot, we can match a location to the look you’d like to achieve for your Bridal Shoot, and bring that handsome groom of yours for some really fun couple shots…or just surprise him on your anniversary with some really amazing pictures of you in your wedding dress.  A post bridal shoot after the wedding (even years later!) is a very special reason to wear your dress again.  This time around you won’t be so worried about rushing through your photo shoot, leaving your guests unattended or missing out on your own wedding reception!

(Don’t do that! Plan a post wedding bridal shoot!  You’ll be glad you did and won’t have to feel torn about missing your wedding and getting amazing images of you in your beautiful dress)
