Bethany Dawn Photography | Albuquerque Maternity, Newborn, Baby, Child and Family Photographer bio picture
  • Welcome to my blog where I share my work and my personal life. I'm a photographer in Albuquerque, New Mexico and I absolutely LOVE my job! I specialize in modern, custom portraiture for newborns, babies, children and families.

    I married a good ol' Alabama boy and together we have two beautiful kiddos. My passions are my family and photography. Nothing gives me more excitement then capturing love and happiness in my photos! Feel free to leave me a comment or ask a question. I love to hear from my readers! (photo by Stephanie Blackstone)

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY | RUIDOSO TRAVELING PHOTOGRAPHER

I love traveling sessions. Especially when they’re in the beautiful town of Ruidoso! This sweet couple is expecting their baby girl the first part of July. I can’t wait to meet her! She will be the first grand baby on both sides.  I’m thinking she will get anything her little heart desires!We had to get some with mom and dad too!  I know they’re so excited to meet their new granddaughter.

GLOWING MAMA | ALBUQUERQUE MATERNITY AND PREGNANCY PHOTOGRAPHER

This stunning mama to be is a friend and fellow photographer, so it was an honor to take her photos. This will be baby number three! I can’t wait to meet him in a few weeks. We took our time and got some of the brighter evening light and stayed until the sun was going down to get some of the softer light. The best of both worlds. I think she looks absolutely amazing!
