I’m Cherise the owner and photographer of Cherise Cardin Photography! I have been a photographer for what seems like forever, but officially opened my business in 2013. I love God with all my heart and try to better myself everyday!  I am a wife and it’s the best to share my life with my wonderful husband.  I am a mother, we hangout and fight, we learn and grow together! Yes I said we fight, boys sure like to push their limits sometimes haha!  But that’s ok because we learn from it! My oldest son is attending Texas Tech University and My youngest is a freshman in highschool.

I try and stay positive as much as possible and look at the good things in life.  Life is too short to focus on negativity.  I love adventures, you name it I probably want to go!  I believe that family vacations are a must and we take them yearly!  If we have the opportunity to take more we do.  I like to experience new things with my family so our vacations are not limited.   I LOVE coffee, it doesn’t matter how it is prepared. I love to drink it all. I love tacos and margaritas(especially with salt).  I am a geek, yes it's true I have grown to love Star Wars, Marvel, and Star Trek(don’t judge too much)! I have grown my love for fitness again and currently working on a healthier me!  Finally I love to give back!  I find I am always wanting to be more involved in the community and in charities especially when it comes to children. I love working with kids so much I am a Instructional Assistant at the highschool with some really special students! They are some of the best parts of my day! I also have been a cheer coach most of my adult life. I took off a few years when my kids were little and now currently the Varsity Cheer coach at Carlsbad High School. In my lifetime my goal is to be there for others, I want to make a difference! 

We began our story in high school as friends! He is my one and only and my ever after!

My husband is my best friend.  We became friends when I was a freshman in high school and started dating when I was 20 and our love has only grown since then!  Our story began in Montana, moved us to Colorado and now we are loving the desert life in New Mexico.
