family session

Micah and Hannah



My son, micah, absolutely adores his aunt hannah. She is known as "ahta". I did this shoot so that he would have a photo of the two of them to hang in his new room. This was also my first experiment with sunset lighting. I believe I'm going to start scheduling my sessions for sunset, because of the magical effects it has on the over all outcome.

On Site Location



The Albino (Al-vee-no) House


This adobe brick home is located in the heart of Big Bend National Park. The home was originally the home of Albino Ybarra, my husbands great Grandfather. The Albino house is now a well preserved land mark, and is the oldest standing adobe structure in Big Bend National Park. My husband, our family and extended family were given the opportunity by the park to enter the house for the first time in three generations. Pictured below are Albino's great great grandson's: Micah Ybarra and Anthony Copeland sitting just outside the door where I imagine Albino's children used to play. A touch of history and a once in a lifetime opportunity for my family and ALY photography.
