8 Years STRONG...

Meet Bennie. The most BEAUTIFUL woman I have ever met. EVER. A stunning, beautiful, walking miracle. Truly. Never before have I driven away from a photo shoot with uncontrollable tears streaming down my face. Never before have I left a photo shoot feeling so empowered, so touched. Bennie's sweet daughter, Michelle, asked me to take some photos of her beautiful mother and I was more than honored. Bennie has battled Lymphoma for 8 years and this woman just keeps on trucking. Just LOOK at her. She looks amazing. And the words she shared with me of her faith, strength, and courage throughout her journey down this path could not be more life-changing for me, to say the least. She is SO fearless and her strength is immesurable. Bennie, THANK YOU, you have blessed me with your story of how your faith has brought you through. You are AMAZING, STRONG, and BEAUTIFUL inside AND out. I am blessed to know you.

Little Boy Blue & Sugar n' Spice!

Oh, how I adore photographing children. The innoncence. The way they play, smile, and giggle. All is well in their little world. These kiddos are so adorable. We had so much fun. These sisters are WAY too cute, aren't they? And baby brother just turned 3 months old and seriously caused me to get a "slight" case of baby fever. I don't remember when my own son, Adyssen, was sooo tiny! Kids grow so fast!

You will be seeing more of THESE precious kiddos soon. Keep your eyes peeled. :)

Love is FUN!

Kortnie and Andy are in love. Yup. They are. They REALLY are. The shoot with this couple was so much fun! They will be getting married in October and I couldn't be happier for these two. The way they clown around with eachother. They are proof that LOVE=FUN! Congratulations on your engagement, Kortnie & Andrew, and THANK YOU for the opportunity to gush over your absolute cuteness together. I cannot WAIT 'til the big day! :)

Evanna, Mari and Matthew

I am SO happy that Evanna and I were finally able to make her photo shoot happen! Evanna's sister purchased a gift certificate for her last year and it has seriously taken this long for BOTH of us (Evanna and I) to finally MAKE IT HAPPEN! :) Everything happens for a reason and life moves too fast sometimes, but TODAY was THE day! And....It could not have been a better day for a photo shoot. The weather during the shoot was GORGEOUS and we had a fun time. This is one hard-working Momma, people! Her kiddos are sooo wonderful, too. Thank you, Evanna & kiddos! You guys were such a blessing to work with. :)

First Facebook Contest Winners: The Beautiful Tafoya Family!

Deana Tafoya was the lucky winner of the very first facebook contest for a free photo session from Bernadette Ulibarri Photography! She and her beautiful family were SO much fun to work with! In our small town where everyone knows eachother, it was so neat to see Deana and her husband, Richard, with their three beautiful children. It's amazing the creations that come...all because two people fell in love. Look at those three kiddos. So precious. This is one GREAT couple raising three GREAT, hardworking, country kiddos. Congratulations, Tafoya family! Enjoy the sneak peeks and THANKS for a great country evening. :)

Beautiful Grace!

My FIRST blog post! :) Introducing my new favorite little face to photograph. Isn't she just simply GORGEOUS?!?! I met precious little Grace when she and her wonderful and sweet Momma joined a mutual friend and I for some Summer fun. I cannot express how much I adore those beautiful, captivating eyes and perfect, dainty little lips. What a doll. And her simple, sweet personality. So sweet, gentle, and content. I could go on and on. The name Grace couldn't be more fitting. I was SO camera happy with THIS little one! :)
