Just when I thought these two couldn’t be any cuter… enter their pup Cash (not technically a puppy, but all dogs are forever puppies in my eyes). The real star? The sweet little babe growing in Saharah’s belly! She had me melting with a Winnie the Pooh onesie and necklace—my childhood fave! Between windy New Mexico magic, the glowiest sunset, and their pure sunshine energy, this session was everything. Big moves, a new baby, and all the love—can’t wait to watch this next chapter unfold! #NewMexicoPhotographer #MaternitySession #CarlsbadNM #NMPhotography #MaternityPhotoshoot #DesertLove #GoldenHourMagic #DogParents #ExpectingParents #WinnieThePoohVibes

Sunset, snuggles, and duck chases 🦆✨ This beautiful mama and her sweet girls had my heart from the very beginning. Stella was all gummy grins and chubby cheeks at six months old (seriously, a little ray of sunshine ☀️), and Kataleya? Pure firecracker energy. She had big plans to catch a duck during our session—and I was fully prepared to help... until Dad let me in on her history with ducks. 😅 So we settled for chasing them instead! We laughed, explored, and soaked in the golden light—and I left with a full heart and a new appreciation for the little wild moments that make family sessions so magical. #carlsbadnmphotographer #familyphotography #motherhoodunplugged #carlsbadnmfamilyphotographer #lifestylephotography #goldenhourmagic #naturallightphotographer #newmexicophotographer #hannahnicholephotography #travelingphotographer #SENM #newmexico #illinois #illinoisphotographer #travel

✨Stormy skies, fierce vibes, and one incredible hairstylist (with a little help from her cousin).✨ What started as a branding session in the desert quickly turned into an adventure when the storm rolled in! We were out in Carlsbad, capturing the magic of [Stylist’s Name] and her cousin Ashley when the clouds darkened, the wind picked up, and rain started pouring down. 🌩️💨 No golden hour glow, but we made it work. Between dodging rain and maybe stopping traffic for a quick shot in the road, we captured some seriously powerful moments. 💁‍♀️🚗 Sometimes, the best memories come from the unexpected—and this one is definitely one for the books. Bold, beautiful, and totally unstoppable. #DesertStormSession #HairStylistBranding #CarlsbadNM #BrandingPhotography #StormyVibes #BoldAndUnstoppable #Carlsbad #Branding #HairStylist #BrandingPhotos #HairSalon #Desert #DesertBrandingShoot #BrandingShoot

Oh sweet Nolan 😍 This little love was so wide-eyed and curious, just taking in every bit of the world around her. She was perfectly happy snuggling with her gorgeous mama... until she spotted the ocotillo plants. 🌵✨ From that moment on, nothing else mattered — girlfriend was on a mission to touch them! Clearly, she’s already following in her mama’s footsteps with her love for beautiful things. 🫶 (And if you have no idea what an ocotillo is, trust me — look them up. They're stunning when they bloom!) #hannahnicholephotography #newmexicophotographer #familyphotographer #motherhoodphotography #candidchildhood #ocotillo #desertphotography #lifestylephotography #familyphotosession #naturalphotography #adventurefamilyphotography #newmexicofamilyphotographer #storytellingphotography #goldenhourphotos #childhoodunplugged #CarlsbadNM #TravelingPhotographer #Ocotillo #Desert #mommyandme

Late night post because I literally couldn’t wait to share these 🥹 This beautiful mama drove out to the actual middle of nowhere (like… no cell service kind of nowhere) for her session—and it was so worth it. And don’t even get me started on this baby 😍 Sweetest little guy who almost decided I was cool by the end. Forever obsessed with how stunning this town is—and so dang grateful I get to call this my work. Wanna plan something beautiful together? Let’s make it happen! 📸 hannahnicholephotography.com #motherhoodunplugged #newmexicophotographer #familyphotographer #momandmephotos #motherhoodmoments #babyphotography #outdoorfamilysession #brightandmoody #naturalphotography #adventurefamilyphotography #heartfeltmoments #hannahnicholephotography #capturingconnection
