Morgyn's Tempe Town Lake Senior Session
When Morgyn's mom reached out she said Morgyn wanted twinkle lights in her session. I knew immediately that we could get some lovely shots with cafe lights at the Tempe Town Lake bridge. We did have to wait, and wait, and wait a little bit more after sunset for the lights to turn on, but it was absolutely worth it.
This was such a special session because we were celebrating Morgyn and her little sister graduating high school and kindergarten, respectively. We were still able to enjoy all the flowers from last spring's super bloom, too.
Thank you so much for sharing this double milestone with me! It was so fun!
Superstition Mountains Family Session
Sometimes the Mom absolutely knocks wardrobe out of the park....and this was one of those times.
I am not supposed to play favorites, but I absolutely love this session. The colors worked perfectly with the background, and what a background! We made a last-minute decision to change from our original plan, and I'm so thrilled that we did. It was definitely a popular location (and I might have made some "friends" by reserving a parking spot for my clients) but it was totally worth it for the views.
Often families ask about bringing their fur babies. The answer is always "yes"! Pepper is the absolutely cutest dog, and she took the session to the next level! She's also a new mom, so if you are looking for puppies......
You all know I have four boys, so getting to work with four GIRLS was such a treat! So much fun! Thank you so much for sharing your family with me!
Josh's Desert Guitar Senior Session
Last year's superbloom was not just for girls....
Josh and his mom came out to a completely transformed location that was covered in blooming flowers and cactus. What an amazing spring we had last year!
When I am talking with families about their sessions, I always ask if there are any activities their senior participated in that they would like to feature in the session. Josh's mom casually mentioned guitar, and I encouraged them to bring it! I was delighted when he showed up with two different guitars. It's not every day you get serenaded with classic rock in the middle of your session. I certainly didn't mind at all!
I love that we were able to capture several outfits plus props in a variety of backgrounds without having to drive all over the place. I'll give Arizona credit for being super amazing for photographers!
And kudos to Josh and his mom for not minding me saying "let's go over to those yellow flowers" one more time....
Reanna's Senior Session in the Spring Super Bloom
Remember the Super Bloom last year? And remember all the rain that flooded all the things?
Reanna's session was originally scheduled to take place at the Salt River, always a gorgeous location, BUT it was completely under water when her session date arrived. PLAN B turned out to be exceptionally special because we had our choice of tons of flowers--yellow, white, purple. It was hard to believe we were out in the desert with all of the lush plants around us. (I also learned about scorpion weed during this time, which was fortunate that we knew to stay away from that one pretty flower!).
Reanna and her mom were so much fun to work with. They were game for traipsing all across the desert, chatting with my friend who helped us use the orange grove, and for squeezing every last drop of sunlight out of the day. It was one of those sessions I didn't want to end, but we all did need to get home, have dinner, finish homework, etc.
So without further ado, here is Reanna's senior session...
Weston's Senior Session
When Weston's mom contacted me about his senior session, I knew the possibilities were endless. Between his skills working cattle on a ranch, his adventures mountain biking or out on the boat, hunting, adventuring, entrepreneurship, welding, and enjoying his own side-by-side...I knew it was going to be a fun session!
I don't have to tell you how much fun I had with this session--I'll let the images speak for themselves. Congratulations to this young man who has a bright future ahead of him with plenty of adventure! Thank you so much for choosing me to document this milestone!
