I met up with this handsome pair earlier this fall for their engagement shoot. It was my first time out shooting since Landon was born, so truth be told, I was afraid I’d be distracted or feel a little rusty. But, once we started walking and talking, I fell right into rhythm, and was SO […]

Brody, Heidi, and Floyd met me in Silver City for their engagement session, which had previously been cancelled due to way-too-cold-to-look-happy temperatures.
