We could not have asked for a more beautiful day to walk around Cibola National Forest in Albuquerque, NM. It was a beautiful weather day, but lots of much needed steps and fresh air were a great gift as well. David and Donna’s daughter, Julie did a great job of scouting the area in heels earlier in the morning, and I drove straight in from my Arizona shoots to meet them at the appointed time. All shoots are special, some are also sacred. This is one of those. Sacred moments, holy ground…and the best part is there were lots of laughs as well. Thank you to Julie and Beva (a close family friend) who were our location scouts and instigators of lots of big smiles along the way. Enjoy. - As a side note, the rock building in the background was the former cabin of Juan Tabo, if you are familiar with ABQ you have probably driven on the street named for him many times.
