New Mexico

I had the pleasure of spending time in New Mexico this weekend. Although it was under sad circumstances, and lots of hearts are broken, it was quite wonderful to be around my family that I don't often get to see. My husband is from this great place and so, under his direction, I shot pictures through the car window as we rolled along. He showed me all of the land marks that must have left an indelible impression on him. It was fun listening to his stories. His history. 


I will try to write the first words that come to mind when I think of these New Mexico towns.  Long, straight roads. Flat. Cattle. COMMUNITY. FAMILY. LOVE. Heritage. Windy. Gorgeous sunsets. Caring. Generous. Amazing People. Cowboy hats. Trucks. RANCH. Belt buckles. Cowboy boots. Awesomeness. MY HUSBAND. Running N. Brown dirt. Snakes. Respect. Last, but far from least, an incredible feeling of acceptance.  I mean all of these things in a nothing but positive light! Even Snakes! It's a fantastic place to visit, thank you for having me. For all of you in NM, from my husband's perspective and my lens.......

Hello there, pretty fellow

The Running N Ranch

Aunt Jenny and Uncle John's

My husband's home town

The Mr. wanted a picture of this?

And this?

If you can't find what you need here. You are out of luck.  It's the only game in town.

They serve cheese on a stick! And it is fabulous.

This beautiful boy, belongs to Marissa. I needed a pic with you, M!

Aunt Victoria. And Acey. Again. Because they are both so darn pretty!

I like this guy too.

My man liked this photo. He took it! He was photographing and driving. Don't tell.

The Ranch at sunset. See you next time, Running N.

It was so wonderful to see everyone! Nate picked most of the spots to photograph... It was funny.... Lots of places that he loves have to do with food. Love to all of you. Muah!
