Top 5 Places to Photograph in Albuquerque, NM

#1 Bosque Trail / Rio Grande

This location is perfect almost any time of the year. In fall though, the trees glow a warm yellow, really making it an inviting and beautiful area for family photos. Every bend in this riverside paradise reveals a new surprise, inviting you to paint your own adventure. ☀️

#2 Alameda Open Space

This place has so much to work with. You have trees, green grass, a bridge, river and more! You can really utilize the different spots and warm hues to your advantage, making it a great family and senior portrait spot. This location is great especially during the fall.

#3 Alamosa Skate Park

I love to mix things up. This large Skate Park has a lot of color and concrete, making this a great spot for commercial and portrait photos. It's clean back drops, different ramps and tunnels, really give you something to work with. Highly recommend for brand photography.

#4 UNM Duck Pond

This spot is a well known location in the heart of Albuquerque. It is located at the University of New Mexico. Many senior portraits are photographed here. You have a wood bridge, beautiful pond, a waterfall, and green grass pretty much all year round. The grassy area has hills giving you different angles to work with. You can even utilize some of the buildings giving you an urban look.

#5 Elena Gallegos

Looking for a bit of classy NM vibes? This location has what you need. Theres hills, grass, rocks, and skies. This spot is great all year round too. You can catch beautiful-winter photos, or some warm-spring photos to grasp the classic NM snow and dessert look. Just be aware of little critters that might crawl your way. They may want a photo too!
