Family and Child Photographer in the Greater Phoenix Area
Ahwatukee Family Desert Session
Family
I have worked with this gorgeous and fun loving family in the past right after they had their second son (his absolutely adorable newborn photos are here). I was super excited to see them again this past fall for their family photo session. Working with toddlers can be a challenge, but it can also be a lot of fun. They might not always pose or smile on cue, but they can give some amazingly real and genuine expressions. Their love always shines through. With this family it was double the love with two toddlers having fun and being silly!
The Location: Ahwatukee
Always one of my favorite and most requested locations, Ahwatukee was just as gorgeous the evening of this family photo shoot. Ahwatukee showcases some beautiful mountain ranges as well as a classic desert look, complete with saguaro cactus. It is truly as spectacular choice for family photos if you are from the Phoenix area or if you are in from out of town. The sunsets behind this mountain range which makes it the perfect spot for a picturesque sunset photo. The fun thing about working at sunset with natural light is that the sunset gives different looks depending on the light of the day. See a rainy day session at the the same location here.
If you have toddlers and are fearful that a family photo session might turn into a disaster, let me ease your fear a little. Toddlers are curious and often run from the camera, have meltdowns, want to do their own thing, etc. Believe me, I know. I have four kids of my own and one is currently in a very rebellious toddler stage:) I am very patient and understand children. During your session I try my best to engage them. I also try my best to capture your family as you really are. I don’t always try to force posed shots, especially with families that have toddlers. Natural interactions often make some of the best and most memorable family photos ever. Plus, you want to remember this age! It’s so fun!
