Rachel Harrison's Fitness Kicks Gym Portraits


Rachel is a personal trainer at Fitness Kicks, a cool new gym in Albuquerque. She teaches kettle bell classes there. The gym is geared toward fighters; providing punching bags, a sparing cage, free weights and machines. She needed some shots of herself at work, exercising with the kettle bells, demonstrating technique and showing off her physique. It was a fun shoot and Rachel really knows what she's doing. I recommend anyone wanting to get in better shape to contact her.

Kat and Val's Hash House Calendar Shoot


































Kat and Val are members of the Albuquerque Hash House Harriers, a chapter of the international organization. The club meets to run, walk, socialize and drink. The girls were chosen to be the models for the month of February in the club's 2011 fundraising/charity calendar. I photographed the ladies at Kat's boyfriend's house with the help of my friend Dan Gutierrez. It was a fun shoot that was supposed to portray "sexy" and "silly", showing off their bodies and sense of humor. I think we pulled it off. Good job girls!




If you're interested in knowing what the "Hashers" are all about, here's a link to the Albuquerque Hash House Website: http://www.abqhhh.com/

Joseph and Heidi Sanchez's Wedding

My long-time childhood friend, Joseph Sanchez, married his high school sweetheart Heidi in 2008. I was one of his groomsmen so I wasn't in charge of the wedding photos but I did take it upon myself to document the ceremony and reception as best I could while still trying to maintain an off-the-clock mentality, ie taking photos between dancing, eating and drinking.

A Couple Portrait Shoots

These are a few select photos from portrait shoots I did of Jackie and Jen. I took these shots before I created the blog. I thought they were nice images and deserved to be posted, even if they are a little dated. Enjoy! (Thanks again for opportunity to photograph you, girls! Glad you liked 'em)

My first-time visit to Seattle, Washington

My first time visit to Seattle, Washington. It was rainy and chilly the whole time but I loved it. I went with my friend Amaris and we had a great time. Ate lots of food, frequented some bars, went to the Space Needle, Pike Place Market and the Aquarium, an all-around rockin' mini-vacation. Enjoy a few of the pics I took while trying to stay dry.

Kris and Christal's Portrait Shoot

These are a few of the portraits I took of Kris and Christal in December. The happy couple wanted some "pre-baby" photos to give as Christmas gifts to family. Christal is about 7 months pregnant in these shots. They found out the morning of the shoot that they are going to have a baby girl. She will be here very soon!

Chris and Christina Lincecum Wedding

My old high school friend Christina Hernandez was gracious enough to invite me to her wedding in Fort Worth, Texas in late November 2009. Her husband Chris Lincecum was inviting and welcomed my friend Rachel and I with open arms to their lovely rooftop ceremony in the city's downtown. They had photographers hired for the wedding but I always find it a must to take my own shots too. These are just a few of the photos a casually shot while enjoying the festivities. Enjoy! And congratulations again to the newlyweds.

Jeff and Tess Summers' Wedding

Jeff and Tess Summers were married on July 18, 2009. They have a beautiful little baby boy named Wesley Ray that was born in October of 2008. The couple was married at the base of the Organ Mountains outside Las Cruces, New Mexico. The short ceremony was very quaint and personal. The reception was held at Tess' parents' home in Dona Ana. The whole day was as laid back and easy going as the lovely couple that tied the knot. It was a very fun shoot, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. On a side note, Tess is my sister. Maybe that's why I had so much fun. I love her very much and welcome Jeff into the family with open arms.

Mylan and Neomi Chavez's Reception and Portraits



Mylan and Neomi Chavez asked me to photograph their wedding reception in Las Cruces, NM on August 15. The couple was married a few months prior but wanted to throw a proper party for extended family and friends in celebration of them tying the knot. They are a beautiful couple and are truly in love. Mylan is a long-time friend of mine and I'm glad he found someone to share the rest of his life with. Good luck and best wishes to both of you!

Sports Photos

Here are some of my favorite sports photos. I have more but I'm waiting to get them off my old work computer. I'll update this album with more once I get them.
