…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!

1228 Parkway Drive, Ste C in Santa Fe   (505) 471-2857

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…

A hollowed out gourd hand painted by Zelda.

Please comment or contact us at Cinematic Afterglow if you would like to purchase a piece from Zelda, we would be happy to pass on your information to her, so she can contact you and show you more of her work.

Follow this link for some more information about Zelda Abeita and purchasing Native American Jewelry  .

Jonathan and Merisa are a super special couple from Washington.   I tried talking them into getting married in Santa Fe, and as much as they thought about it (I think they were just humoring me), it’s not gonna happen.

They have however, promised to come back with wedding dress in tow, and do a bridal shoot with us on the plaza.   They’re planning their wedding and I’m planning their post wedding photo shoot.

We really enjoyed the time we spent with them.  I couldn’t have imagined a more kind and loving couple.  They are beautiful together.  On the outside, but more importantly and where it really counts, …on the inside.

Jonathan and Merisa,

May you be always blessed with Love, Light and Laughter

This girl was a natural in front of the camera, and it’s no wonder, she is stunning.

It was great working with Monique to capture these images to memorialize this important stage in her life.

Monique is a graduate from the class of 2011 and just started her first year of college.  She’s beautiful, kind, confident, and intelligent.  She was awarded a full academic scholarship. Go girl!

We know you will succeed and we have no doubt that your dream of becoming a doctor will be realized.  Congratulations Monique!

We had the good fortune to take portraits for the Santa Fe Spirit Allstars, headed by Christie Baca.  She has a total of 4 teams ranging in ages from 4 to 14.  They are an extremely talented and energetic bunch of …Cheerleaders!!  We had a really good time with them, and Joe has also filmed a performance, the photo shoot, practices and State Competition, in which they did extremely well, by the way!  There are four incredible coaches.  They’ve got great energy, and run a safe and fun program for the girls.  Parent involvement is also big with this group.

Christie Baca

I plan to run a two part blog,  and I’ll include more information about the Santa Fe Spirit Allstars.

I’ll have more information soon and plan on putting up team pictures as well.  The video is just about done, and  It’s looking GOOD!
