Brothers

The H Family needed some “traditional” head shot portraits of their three boys, but we wanted to do a little extra for this special family and take some more of the brothers together too.  Sunset is a great time to be on the mountain peak overlooking the valley capturing sweet sibling moments.

Scorpion Gulch, South Mountain Family Session

We knew immediately, that this location would be a perfect fit for the Davis Family.  Rustic, historical context, textured, meaningful, outdoor – perfectly suited to their love of both the outdoors, hiking, reclaimed rustic spaces and fine art. Dad (Jason Lee Davis) is an incredibly gifted multi-disciplinary artist, and you can see his work throughout the city at various venues.  Please check out his website if you’re looking for a unique piece for your home or work space.  I especially love his series “Off the Wildfire Floor” where he incorporates slide fire ash into the paintings (with permit for collection) and gives back a donation to plant 100 trees in your name. They are passionate animal lovers as well – if you love rescues, look at this series “Portrait of the Reclaimed Dog.” Along with photographing their family, we also updated his head shot for his publicity purposes.  I love it when his wife said ‘Well… you’re going to be hard to live with for the next week!’ ;D His eyes are pretty striking….  Enjoy the photos! The images below are just a few of our favorites from the whole session. If you’re looking for a meaningful family session – […]

McCormick Ranch Family Session

Photographing this sweet family was extra rewarding because Mom had been dreaming of a session capturing her family for years … and with baby on the way shortly, now was the time.  The old adage “the days are long, but the years are shot” is so true.  The only time where all the kids have matching socks, perfect hair, no stains on their shirt and everything blissfully files into the car for the perfect photo shoot….. is one that never happens and the kids away at college.  McCormick Ranch was a great location as it was easy to access – no long hikes for a 3rd trimester mamma – along with gorgeous Sonoran Desert views complete with giant saguaro, various cacti, contrasting textures of rock – and of course the mountain vistas beyond.  It’s not easy for a 14 year old teen to have ‘fun’ on a shoot with his family…. but he even got to do a little spontaneous rock climbing while we were at it.  The photos of the girls with Dad are precious… and soon there will be a 3rd daughter!  Arizona skies rarely disappoint, sunsets are one of my favorite times to shoot. Thank you Simon […]
