When this UNM graduate reached out to book her session, she had one specific request—she wanted her colorful graduation dress to pop in every photo. And when I say pop, I mean bold, bright, beautiful, and full of energy. My kind of shoot!

When this UNM graduate reached out to book her session, she had one specific request—she wanted her colorful graduation dress to pop in every photo. And when I say pop, I mean bold, bright, beautiful, and full of energy. My kind of shoot.

She told me she had browsed through a bunch of other photographers' websites (the ones who had one, at least), and after comparing styles, she felt like my editing style was the only one that could bring her vibrant vision to life. When I heard that? You already know I had to show up with my A-game… and yes, I had plenty of caffeine that day to make sure I was in full creative flow.

We met up on the UNM campus, one of the most iconic spots in Albuquerque for graduation photos, and the magic happened fast. Her energy, confidence, and love for color matched perfectly with my lighting setup and editing style. Together we created images that weren’t just technically strong—but captured her personality, culture, and joy in full spectrum.

The end result? Graduation photos that were everything she envisioned and more.

And I don’t share this to brag. I share it to remind you how important it is to choose a photographer whose style matches your vision.

Whether you're graduating from UNM, CNM, or any high school in Albuquerque, your photos should feel like you. If you're looking for vibrant, colorful edits that blend professional lighting with the warmth of natural sunlight—I'm your guy.
