Gorgeous Family Foursome at Mount Claret ~Arcadia Family Portrait Session

When your amazing photographer friend asks you to capture her own beautiful family portraits, you say, "Absolutely YES!!!"  I love photographing this family!  Not only are they one of the most photogenic group of humans you will ever see, they are the sweetest family to work with during a photo session.  We decided on the wonderfully secluded Mount Claret this year right at the base of Camelback Mountain.  With serene grounds, beautiful architecture, breathtaking views, and friendly staff,  this venue was a perfect choice.  Here are some of my favorites from this session:).

Family Fun at the Train Park ~ Scottsdale Family Portraits

It was a real treat for me to photograph this sweet family again last Saturday at the McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park.  If you have not been to this park, it's fabulous!  Trains, a museum, playgrounds, lush landscaping, and a gorgeous carousel are all attractions at this venue! It was the perfect family outing for two busy boys, and I loved being able to document all the fun.  It was truly a family event for the books, and we really got some great photos to go with the memories.

Here are some of my favorites!  Thank you, Lanham Family for such a great day.

Camelback Mountain Family Portrait Session ~ Arcadia Family Photographer

So this gorgeous foursome and I met last Sunday at the Camelback Inn to capture these beautiful portraits!  I was so excited they discovered and picked this location as I have never photographed there before.  After seeing these photos, you will know why it's my new favorite place!!!  This sweet family was especially fabulous as they braved the heat AND the random sprinklers that went off during our time together.  Thank goodness, we captured these photos before getting too wet.  Here are some of my favorites, enjoy! :)

The Sensational Seven at the Museum of the West ~ Scottsdale Family Portraits

I think this family gets more stunning every year I photograph them!  I have known this gorgeous crew forever and am thankful to call them a part of my family.  We spent last Saturday evening at the Museum of the West near Old Town Scottsdale.  The building had such interesting architecture that it made a perfect spot to capture some really great photos.  Of course, the colors that this family wore were perfect for the backdrops we had.  I always love spending time with this crew, and please enjoy some of my favorites!  Love this family:)!

Fall Session Special at Papago Park

Hooray,  it's finally Fall!!!!  The weather is cooling off here in Arizona, and we have officially kicked off our fall family portrait special which includes a quick 45-minute session and five full resolution digital images for $155.00.  

I loved meeting with this beautiful family over the weekend out at Papago Park.  They were as fun in person as they look in these photos.  Here are some of my favorites!

All About Me Sessions ~ Davis and Ainsley!

It's Summer!!!!  It's time to play, go on adventures, and capture your kids doing everything and anything.  Time really flies, so capturing your children is important, even in the most mundane things.  Recently, we did "All About Me" sessions for Ainsley and Davis.  It was a time for them to pick their favorite things and to just let them be themselves.  Then, the magic happened.  Enjoy some of my favorites.

Fun Loving Family at Papago Park ~ Scottsdale Family Portrait Session

Handsome, fun loving, sweet and fabulous is how this family was last Sunday during our session at Papago Park in Scottsdale.  The sun was setting and tons of people were out enjoying the beautiful weather that has arrived in our city, so the atmosphere was perfect for adventure for a family with young children. I absolutely loved capturing and getting to know this crew.  Their kiddos were adorable and told me all about their love of dinosaurs, Elmo, and the Texas Longhorns. They were such a joy to photograph, and I am excited to share some of my favorites.  Enjoy!
