Well, hello again! I got to meet up with one of my favorite seniors and his mom again, and this time we got to meet the whole family! I enjoyed working with this super-chill young man and his mom earlier in the spring (word on the street is that his mom and I look so much alike we could be sisters). It was even more of a treat to help them update their family photos before this young man leaves for training to become a US Marine! So proud of him!

I've noticed a trend of families taking the opportunity to update their family portrait when they are in the photo-mindset of senior portraits. Let's make that happen for your family as well. It's a wonderful time in life to celebrate the milestone of your senior and to capture one more family portrait before your family dynamic changes! 

Mom is an avid paddler and can often be found on the Salt River among the wild horses, so she requested some water in their family session. Veteran's Oasis park does not disappoint! It was super lush and a bit overgrown even (such a strange thing to say in Arizona!) when we visited, but the water features were really lovely.  The timing worked out perfectly for Grandma and Grandpa to be in town over Memorial Day weekend, so we were able to sneak in a few images with them as well. 

Without further ado, here is the R family! Love you guys! Please don't make me wait until your youngest is a senior to take your portrait again!
