Passon Family Sitting

Several months ago I was driving in between locations while shooting a wedding and I got a call from Chris Passon. He had been perusing the Dry Heat Photography website and blog and wanted to book a family sitting as a Mother's Day gift for his wife, Shannon. Last week Shannon's parents were in town so it was the perfect opportunity to get the whole family together at the Bio Park. We met at 9:00 in the morning and shot for a couple hours... Meet The Passons!







Shannon calls this pose "Upsidedown Man"

Say it with me now "Awwwww" 8-)

Mandy and Colin - The Wedding

Last Friday, July 25, I had the honor of photographing Mandy and Colin's wedding at the Hotel Albuquerque. The ceremony was in the chapel and the reception was in the courtyard. As always the Hotel ABQ delivered a high class event in fine fashion. Jim Gross from Carousel Of Music was in charge of the entertainment and the party went on well into the night. Thank you Mandy and Colin for making me a part of your special day!

Brittany and Chase - The Wedding

Well, it finally happened; Brittany and Chase tied the knot at the Prairie Star on July 19th! This was such a great wedding! Of course from my perspective I gauge a wedding on how good the photos are and to reiterate - such a great wedding! One of the hardest things is deciding which images to use in the Blog. With over 1300 proofs it is practically impossible to narrow it down to such a small handful and I think there are still over 20 images in this blog entry.

As always I greatly appreciate our Dry Heat clients and would like to offer my sincere thanks to Brittany and Chase for making me a part of their special day!

And then it rained - a LOT.

Pumpkin Head, Iris, and Margot

I realize that Dry Heat Photography does not specialize in cat photography but as I'm sitting here at 1:30 in the morning working on the blog I also have three curious cats trying to climb under and over my MacBook and basically treating me like their personal jungle gym. Anyone who knows me knows that I am benevolent to creatures and have an extra special weakness for kitties. That being said - please do not start bringing your unwanted cats to my office ;-) Let me introduce my girls;

Introducing Angela and Shane

This session was last Saturday and was actually supposed to be the same day as the Mike and Carol 10th Anniversary party but was rained out the first time. Anyway, I met up with Angela and Shane at the Elena Gallegos Open Space at 3:00 in the afternoon. Just in time for the clouds but before the daily downpour. When Angela initially came in to talk to me about shooting her wedding we realized that we knew each other already as I had actually shot her sister, Monica's, wedding several years ago. I was working for another studio at the time so it took us a few minutes to figure it out. Angela even brought in Monica's wedding album so I could look it over. What a kick!
