An Autumn Motherhood Session at the Randall Davey Audubon Center

A frequent visitor to Santa Fe, Taryn shared that she had been following my work for years, hoping to one day book a session. I'm so glad that we finally made it happen. Capturing Taryn and her daughter, Selah, was a really special session on a gorgeous autumn afternoon at the Audubon Center. I love this location for the variety of backdrops and its unique feel.

We had late autumn foliage this year, so the area surrounding the center was just starting to peak. After a cloud-covered day, the sun shone behind the golden trees for some beautiful backlight.
