Meet Kyle and Carl

"We have used Southern Exposure for all of our big family portraits over the years. Our family portrait for over the fireplace, my senior grad photos and my sister’s. We have so much fun taking the pictures. The photographers do a great job of keeping you smiling. Every time we look back on pictures from them, we also think back on the good memories they bring. We’re always delighted by the quality of their work. So much so that this year, we asked Kyle if he would meet us in Albuquerque to take our engagement photos at the Hot Air Balloon Fiesta. The pictures turned out so incredible that we don’t even care about how our wedding photos turn out because we know these will always be our favorite. If you’re in the Enchanted Circle, Southern Exposure is the only way to go. "

We couldn't have asked for a better experience for my senior pictures. I just can't recommend enough!

The absolute best photographers around! We've been going to Red River for years and I'm never disappointed in the snapshots they take of my family. We chose to have my daughters senior pictures taken while we were on vacation and they were beautiful! Highly recommend!


Kyle captured our beautiful wedding perfectly. He was professional and easy to work with. He communicated with us to make sure he knew exactly what we wanted so everything went smoothly. He did everything to make sure we got the most amazing shots, from the timing with the lighting and the perfect locations. Kyle has very creative ideas and his editing skills are amazing!
