This was a great shot we were able to get of the entire family. Just looking through them again and thought I would share two more.

I had the chance to spend the morning with the beautiful Milner family.  We had 6 adults, and 5 little ones…so a park seemed like the perfect place.  On the drive there, it was 43 degrees so we had to make sure the children stayed plenty warm…there was a lot of throwing on of coats and then taking them off for pictures quickly.  Thanks for giving me the opportunity to spend some time with your family this morning.  Here are a few of my favorites, starting with the parents.

I had the pleasure of having a family session with Monica and Garry, their 4 children, and 3 grandchildren last Sunday.  We were able to use the beautiful light right before sundown to get these shots.  Monica suggested we visit the Christ Church of the Valley to get some shots.  I headed down there the day before and took a look around as it is just a few miles from my place.  There was actually a wedding going on right where we did our session.  There is a good reason for that, the place is very nice looking.

Thanks, Monica and Garry for giving me a chance to spend that Sunday with you and your family.  Here are a few of my favorites from the session.

I loved it when I got this email. Rick was flying in their three children for Memorial Day weekend to surprise his wife. One is getting his masters at Ohio State, Brad is getting his masters at Harvard, and Brittannie is getting her undergrad work done at the University of Arizona…talk about a smart family!!! (Joan is actually going to be getting her Masters before them all she told me though). Rick contacted me to arrange a time so they could get some family photo’s done. They were a very fun family and we had a good time wandering Saguaro Ranch park that Saturday. We even chased a few roosters!

This first photo mimics a frame she has from a few years ago and we wanted to get her a new, updated one

They wanted something different than the typical Christmas Cards. So we did a shoot today to see what we could come up with. I am pretty happy with the results.

Thanks.
