Superstition Mountain - Family

 December 21, 2020 near the Superstition Mountain Museum with this beautiful family! 

I love kids!

Sometimes photo sessions can be challenging with your own kids. You have hopes of how they will act and how the photos will capture their genuine expressions. This hope can turn into frustration or stress when the attitudes, moods or situations don't go as planned.

But I love photographing kids, regardless of their mood. I love the challenge of capturing their true personalities through their various expressions. I always take a chill approach with photo sessions involving kids. I like to give the kids time to explore (safely) and get comfortable in their environment. I also recognize that keeping these sessions brief to avoid burning everyone out (including the parents) is an important consideration. 

Here are some photos of one of my favorite families in Lost Dutchman state park. I love their kids! I love their individuality and the way we connect each time we are together for their family photos! You probably won't be able to tell which child gave her parents the biggest workout to achieve these group images! As always, the desert provided us with a beautiful environment to enjoy.

These were taken on September 24th 2020.

A Family I Love

 My brother's beautiful family near the Superstition Mountains in mid-May. I'm so glad we captured these photos to update their family images in their home and to have treasures of this moment forever.

Family Photos near the Superstition Mountains

The time with this great family in the Lost Dutchman area of the Superstition Mountains was so fun! I love kids and their reactions to a camera and helping them have fun while taking photos. I'm so glad these friends asked me to take their family portraits this year! 

We took these photos around 5pm on October 28th.
