We Love Robin Perini! She has been coming to us for a couple years now for all her promotional portraits and we always have a blast.
Here is some info from her website and a clip from a local appearance on tv!
Award-winning author Robin Perini’s love of heart-stopping suspense and poignant romance, coupled with her adoration of high tech weaponry and covert ops, encouraged her secret inner commando to take on the challenge of writing romantic suspense novels. Her mission’s motto: “when danger and romance collide, no heart is safe.”
As a writer, Robin is devoted to giving her readers fast-paced, high stakes adventures with a love story sure to melt their hearts. Robin’s strong characters and tightly woven plots garnered her seven prestigious Romance Writers of America Golden Heart® finals. She won the Golden Heart® in 2011, and that title became her first Harlequin Intrigue, Finding Her Son (March 2012). Her other 2011 Golden Heart® Finalist, In Her Sights, was published by Amazon’s Montlake Romance November 29, 2011. Robin went on to sell seven novels within one year.
She is the author of In Her Sights (Montlake 2011), Finding Her Son, Cowboy in the Crossfire and Christmas Conspiracy (Harlequin Intrigue 2012) as well as the upcoming Montgomery Justice Series from Montlake Romance.
Residing in the southwestern United States, by day, she works for an advanced technology corporation, and in her spare time, you might find her giving one of her many nationally acclaimed writing workshops or training in competitive small-bore rifle silhouette shooting. She’s a voracious reader and a die-hard fan of the T.V. series, BONES.

The model was Kim Donald, now Jackson and we had a blast running around downtown in fabulous fashion, and finally ended up on the roof of the parking structure on First St and Gold. As the sun was setting, we were trying lots of ideas to capture the golden light, something of the city and of course, the beauty of Kim.
I was honored to be asked and now, nine years later the Magazine is celebrating a well earned anniversary. Thank you for letting me be involved in the birth of this city’s favorite publication!
It was quite an experience! I was lucky to work with the incredible human resource, Mo Palmer, one of this state’s most revered historians. Mo, Kelli and I poured through hundreds of images, scraps of paper, little bits of history in a variety of conditions ’til we felt that story come together. Mo got to work writing the text that would accompany the images and I designed the 20′ long and 5′ high collage of over 50 final photos. I optimized and gave them all a consistent sepia (brownish) tone and created floating text that would drive home the intention of philanthropy.
I remember one day, Kelli, Mo and I were all spread out, filling a room with photos in long lines on tables and stacks on the floor. Mo would pick one tiny 5×5 image up and just start telling us the story. I was moved by one old black and white photo of what is now the beautiful Eye Associates Building on Martin Luther King, which was then an orphanage. The steps were piled with kids and caregivers.
Working with these historic and powerful images gave me a storytelling connection to our city. I love photography and the way it preserves our history. SO important.
If you get a chance, visit the Albuquerque Community Foundation and enjoy the history wall!
Here are some photos from the grand opening of the new building.
Kyle captured a lovely intimate wedding at a friend of the bride’s home… so intimate, so perfect. It was the second marriage for both and the deep connection blew everyone away. All the children from both the bride and the grooms families were present and having so much fun!
Come on in…
I started shooting models for their portfolios in San Francisco. I would charge them $100 for the shoot and do two rolls of film on them, two ‘looks’.
Within six months my mentor (I believe in mentors!) told me that I should get my butt to Europe, specifically, Italy, specifically, Milan so that I could get access to fashion magazines and get published.
So the week I arrived in Milan, I went to the offices of VOQUE in a big marble laden high rise, unannounced, and asked for an appointment to show my work.

They asked me to wait while they called the art directors together.

I had a portfolio of black and white images, including some of the ones you see here, and a whole lot of confidence.
They gathered around the 20′ table, rolling cigarettes and passing my book around, speaking quick, hushy Italian.
“Wonderful work” the brassy blonde closest to me said, leaning in close. “You have good eyes, keep shooting the pictures and see us again….”
My first rejection.
