Under the Taos County Stars 🌌

There's nothing quite like the night skies of Northern New Mexico. The Milky Way stretching across the sky, an old rustic wooden fence, and a little history beneath billions of stars.

Sometimes you just have to stop, look up, and take it all in.

📍 Taos County, New Mexico

Only in Taos County, New Mexico! 🌌🐺

Spending a night at one of the most unique Airbnbs we've ever stayed in. When we've got a giant coyote's head, the Milky Way overhead, and some of the darkest skies in New Mexico, you know I'm breaking out the camera!

Just having a little fun with photography tonight. 📸

🐾 31 Pups. 200+ Photos. One Great Cause! 📸❤️

Another great day volunteering with Bernalillo County Animal Care Services! The team was on point today! We photographed 31 pups in just 2.5 hours, followed by another 5 hours of commuting and culling over 200 images!

It's a lot of time, but knowing these photos might help a pup find their forever home makes it all worthwhile! 🐶❤️

A BIG thank you to everyone who purchased one of my 2027 photography calendars! Your support helps me continue donating my time and doing something I truly love.

A special thank you to Mary Z. from NC for adding two of my small metal prints!

We had a few challenging ones today for sure! Here are a few of my favorites:

Still Playing in the Rain 🌧️📷

When New Mexico weather presents itself like this, I grab my gear and go. I absolutely love the Sandia Foothills, but throw in some rain, low clouds, and fog wrapping around the mountains, and they become something completely different.

Turns out this old kid still likes playing in the rain. 😁🏔️

I brought a few new pieces into the gallery today! 📸

I now have mini metal prints of La Catrina and Taos Welcome Tree on display. These smaller metals are a fun way to add a little piece of the Southwest to your home without needing a big wall.

I don’t offer these mini metals on my website, but I do have a limited inventory at home that I can ship out:

5" × 7" — $45
7" × 9" — $55
Plus shipping

Just send me a message and I can let you know what I have available.

I also brought in a new 22" × 29" La Catrina metal for those who like to go a little bigger!

And if you’re wandering around Old Town Albuquerque today, stop into the Albuquerque Photographers’ Gallery, check them out in person, and say hi. I’m here today!

Hannah is not too sure about this one... She accompanies me on many of my photography hikes.
