Central New Mexico Family, Maternity, Seniors & Couples Photographer
let's go somewhere pretty
Serving Albuquerque and the surrounding communities of Central New Mexico—including Los Lunas, Bosque Farms, Belen, Rio Rancho, Santa Fe, Pecos, Taos, and beyond—I’ve had the honor of documenting so many cherished moments for families, couples, expecting mothers, and graduates throughout my beautiful home state of New Mexico. These seasons of life are fleeting, and your family won’t always look like this. Let’s slow down for a moment, go somewhere pretty, and document it all.
THE BOOKING PROCESS
STEP 01: SAY HI
Let’s get to know each other. Head over to my About Me page to learn a little about me, then fill out the contact form. Tell me all about your dream photo ideas, I’ll listen, get a feel for your vision, and start planning how we can bring it all to life and capture those moments in a way that feels like you..
STEP 02: PLAN
Lock in your date and location, then we’ll chat about your vision for the photos. I love putting together vision boards for my clients to help bring everything to life and make your session feel extra special.
STEP 03: TELL
On your session day, I’ll be right there with you, guiding you as you naturally interact and have fun together. You don’t have to worry about what to do or how to pose. I’ll gently step in when needed to help create those effortless, picture-perfect moments, while still keeping everything feeling relaxed and true to you.
READY TO CAPTURE YOUR MOST PRECIOUS MEMORIES.
I’m Cecilia Fender, a lifestyle photographer specializing in families, maternity, graduates, and couples throughout Central New Mexico. I’m all about capturing the genuine moments, the connection, and the little pieces of your story that you’ll want to remember forever.
But before we get to that, let me introduce myself. Most of my friends call me Silly—a nickname I’ve had for as long as I can remember, and one that fits my goofy, always-joking personality pretty perfectly. I’m a girl mom, a sports mom, and a photographer who feels incredibly lucky to do what I love while documenting the moments that matter most.

So many wonderful things I can say about our experience with Cecilia at Fender Photography. We've done family sessions, a maternity session and an anniversary session with her and couldn't be happier with the memories she has captured of our family. She has a way of making you feel extremely comfortable, no matter the setting and she's willing to go the extra mile to get that special shot. We love working with her and wouldn't want anyone else to photograph our journey through life together!
