C Family Session at McDowell Sonoran Preserve

The sweet C Family wanted to update their family photo for their ‘family photo wall’ and to send Christmas greetings overseas to relatives. We’ve had some moody rainy weather this month, so the third Sunday Afternoon attempt – was the charm and so worth the wait!  This family has a great sense of joy and humor and the relationship between brother and sister shines through. Love them!

Family Session at McDowell Sonoran Preserve

What a great time we had with the J family at the McDowell Sonoran Preserve!  They brought along their giant Golden Doodle Thor – what a show stealer! LOVE HIM!  They asked if they could bring their dog and we said – of course !! We absolutely love pets of any kind. We have two dogs and know that pets are truly a part of our family. This setting was gorgeous and just what they were looking for to showcase to their family in the North West from where they have recently moved from. Being from that area ourselves many years ago we know….. nothing is more different than the evergreen state than Arizona! The boys were relaxed and had fun, the love you see for their dog – and parents – is just beautiful. Here are a sampling of images from our session with this sweet and fun family.

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 […]

Christmas Session at DC Ranch Market Street

Tis the season for updated family group photos for the annual Christmas cards and letters!  Had a blast photographing the beloved Grozav family again – this time in more cooler weather attire. ;D  The kids had fun climbing the gigantic mountain lion statues and Market Street was decked out in glittery finery. Such a fun evening. If you wish to book a photo session for the holidays please contact us. Thank you Elaine, Ben and the family – Merry Christmas !
