Hello everyone,
Recently I had the pleasure to capture one the most humble and down to earth families I know. I have known this family for a little over 3 years now. I first photographed their oldest daughter right after I moved to town. She was at the time Miss Carlsbad and since then I have done a few portraits sessions with her and the family. But this one was a bit more special due to the recent activities in the world. You will see in the photos why.
The photos were all taken in a and around Carlsbad, New Mexico. It was a sunny and pleasantly nice day weather wise...not a lot of wind...thankfully. If you're from Carlsbad you know we tend to have a lot of wind this time of year.
I really don't have a lot more to add to the post except the photos themselves. SO enjoy and have an amazing weekend everyone.
p.s Make sure to support your local law enforcement officers.
