Snowy Winter Family Portraits in Albuquerque, New Mexico

What a gorgeous family to match a gorgeous snowy day! We met at the Doc Long Trail in the Sandia Mountains which is a just short drive from Albuquerque and boasts a stunning natural landscape. The huge trees and snowy trails made for the perfect backdrop for this family portrait session.

Larger families are super fun to photograph and often do require a little creativity to get everyone to look in the same direction at once (especially with littles) but the Merewethers passed with flying colors! We had a lot of fun and laughs and they sure looked good doing it! Isn’t the couple shot of grandma and grandpa adorable? I hope they are able to cherish these images forever!

Holiday Family Portraits in Albuquerque, New Mexico

The Gawne Family braved the winter cold for a quick holiday family photo shoot at one of my favorite spots, the Elena Gallegos Open Space in the foothills of the gorgeous Sandia Mountains These sweet boys and their parents were such troopers and thankfully you can’t even tell how freezing cold it was :) How adorable are they in their coordinating plaid shirts and that bowtie on baby boy - so stinkin’ cute!!

I also loved how Mom and Dad were a bit more understated in their black outfits. I always try to make sure to get a solo shot of just Mom and Dad. Isn’t the kissing photo to die for? Definitely frame worthy!

Holiday Family Portraits in Albuquerque, New Mexico

It is always so fun to see how a family chooses to coordinate their holiday photo shoot outfits! The Flores family did a gorgeous job in pairing a casual but dressy combination of red, gold, and navy for their photography session at the Elena Gallegos Open Space in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Their outfits give a comfortable but Christmas-y vibe all around, especially with the plaid and gold sequin skirt :) Choosing coordinating outfits may seem daunting but I always recommend the following.
