Portraits at the Phoenician in Spring

The Phoenician Resort is another great location for portraits. These images were taken back in March, when the Palo Verdes were in bloom. We started in the cactus garden on the north side of the property, and ended at the Orchid Lawn with the beautiful waterfall on the south side.

Toddlers

What I love about 1-2 year olds.

They are so easy to engage, everything is fun, little things make them giggle, their chubby cheeks and baby teeth, they laugh when they run, they are easy to relax and redirect with a snack, a bottle, or a silly song and finger play.  They are innocense and sweetness personified. 

And a baby boy in a bow tie???? 

 

 

Roosevelt Row and Wardrobe

Ever changing backdrops and scenery as downtown Phoenix and Roosevelt get developed, and more artists come in and paint the streets. One of my favorite locations, and one of my favorite families to photograph. This mommy does an incredible job with coordinating outfits. I choose the settings into which these colorful clothes fit. Wardrobe has such a tremendous impact on images, so keep that tucked into the back of your minds when planning for your family sessions.

Moving out and Saying Goodbye - Home Session

This session not only took place in an amazing home but was so unique.  This little family was moving away and mom wanted to remember this incredible home they built together. The images were candid and inspired by the home, as well as the awesome dynamics of the family who were so fun and easy going!

Baby Aloe and Birth and for her 1st

Happy Birthday, Aloe! One Year ago, and today. Amazing and delicious little lovely! So wonderful that we incorporated the same pink teddy bear into both sessions.
