McQuay Family // Albuquerque Family Photographer

I have a special place in my heart for families of three. Since I am an only child I have a lot of experience with the "three" dynamic. I know Megan from college and even though her family will likely not stay a "three" family forever, I had a great time with them on this early Saturday morning in Albuquerque. 

Their little man was full of really fun smiles. He was marching (not running) all around and having a great time exploring. It was even more fun when they brought out the football jerseys and he got to swing and be thrown in the air. 

Megan I have loved watching your family grow throughout the years and I am so glad I got to capture all your love in front of my lens!

Wind. 

The wind on this Sunday was crazy. All day.

I was seriously wondering if we would be able to pull off this family session. After all, who wants family pictures with their hair flying all around and squinty eyes trying to keep the dust out?  No one, that's who. 

Our session, however was at the Bachichi open space and there is a decent grove of trees so I thought that it might work out if we went into the trees to try and avoid the wind. 

The result is one of my absolute favorite sessions to date. The light was perfect. The kids were a RIOT. I am serious, they were so much fun and kept me laughing the whole session. They were all gorgeous and knew how to work a camera. And the wind stayed mostly behind the trees and allowed us to have calm hair and open eyes and big smiles all around. 

The Riordans are a very special family and I am so honored to have been able to provide them these images.
