A romantic summer proposal session captured at Middle Fork Lake in Red River, NM, early in the morning. I love preserving those sweet surprise moments that highlight the charm of New Mexico's mountains. Planning to propose? If you need a photographer, visit our website.

There’s something special about photographing a family while everyone is still under one roof.

These seasons don’t last forever. Before you know it, they’re graduating, moving out, starting careers, and building families of their own. That’s why during every family session, we don’t just focus on the big group photo. We make sure to capture the individual portraits, sibling combinations, and those in-between moments you may not even realize you’ll need one day.

When graduation announcements go out.
When a wedding slideshow is being created.
When you simply want to remember exactly who they were in this season.

You never know when an individual image will mean everything.

And even if a photo isn’t one of your final selections, it’s never gone. We archive your session because these moments matter — now and years from now.

Don’t wait for “someday.” Capture them while they’re still home.

Don’t just take our word for it. Daily photos on the ski hill are a great option for a mini session.

Looking to have family pictures taken while in Red River? Head over to the ski area from 9-2 PM and have your picture taken by Southern Exposure Photography. No appointment required, no session fee, and no obligation to purchase photos.
