The Desert Willow Complex Fire- Los Lunas, New Mexico

On Saturday, June 21, 2025, a wildfire started in the bosque- the woods alongside the Rio Grande River- on the Southwest side of the Main Street Bridge here in Los Lunas. The fire quickly gained steam, and before much could be done, 12 homes were lost in the blaze. C-130s were brought in to dump ‘slurry’- fire retardant on the neighborhood, and in the bosque to help contain the fire, helicopters- including a Chinook- dropped water, and multiple agencies along the Rio Grande corridor responded to help with the blaze. With incredible effort, the fire was brought under control and is now extinguished. The fire was about two miles South of my home, as the crow flies.

The Harris Family- Los Lunas River Park

I had the honor and pleasure of photographing this gorgeous family a few weeks ago! Kenyatta Sr., Kenyatta Jr., Ashonna, Gloria, and Keyondre were all so relaxed and down for whatever I had in mind. We captured most of their portrait session in the Los Lunas River Park, down in the bosque, but then went to a second location to finish up.

Dorinda’s Maternity Portraits- Los Lunas, New Mexico

I honestly can’t recall how many years Dorinda and I have been friends now, but it’s been a long time. I watched as her and her husband Nick (also a good friend) became parents half way around the world (Nick was stationed in Japan with the Navy), and again after they’d been reassigned to Chicago. After they finally moved home a few years ago, I finally got to meet and cuddle their sweet kiddos. So when Nick and Dorinda announced they were expecting baby #3, I jumped at the chance to capture her pregnancy this time around!
