A while back I was asked if I wanted to make the drive out just outside of Albuquerque to the old Rio Puerco bridge for a photoshoot. I didn’t have any good photos and thought it was a great opportunity to get a good shot or two for my site. I had no idea what I was in for. Leah of Destination Photography wanted to do a sunset photo shoot on the bridge…….I thought it was was a unique idea and so off we went!
She met me over there with her camera in hand and we took photos for a while. It was just pose take a photo, pose take a photo. It was spin, walk around, have fun, be serious, be silly, laughing, run your fingers through your hair. I felt like I was a real model. It was amazing. There weren’t just a few photos to taken, there were over 100!
Check out some of my favorite shots:
Pretty awesome, right?!?! I have never had photos taken that I liked as much as Leah’s! It was so much fun and I had SO MANY photos to choose from. There were a lot that were the same pose, but there were little differences, my hair a little different, my smile a little different. Leah said she always takes multiples of what you *think* are the same while you’re taking them, but when you see them on the computer, you can find slight differences and will like one more than another.
One of my photos was even used in the new Glamour sister magazine, Glam Belleza Latina! It is a quarterly magazine that focuses on Latina beauty tips! If you see it in stores, pick one up and check out page 88! They will be on shelves very soon!
Destination Photography does so many different types of photos, including weddings, newborns, family, engagement, seniors and solo sessions (that’s what I had done). You don’t have to worry about being camera shy because Leah can walk you through it all and make you completely comfortable. She has a great eye when it comes to her pictures and she knows which angles to get the best photos. Shoot, some of mine she was laying down in the dirt and everything…she isn’t scared to get a good pic! There are a lot of photographers out there, I know, they are all over my Facebook, but Leah is different. She has the eye. Her pictures are always amazing. If you want to see some other types of photos (besides just me) visit the Destination Photography website.
