This is the session that almost wasn't. When Rachel contacted me for her family photo session in Mesa, Arizona, I was so excited to photograph her cute family — and of course, it was the one day all month that it rained!
I may be alone here, but one of my favorite things parents say to me before a session is, "good luck getting my kids to smile!" And that's exactly what Amanda said to me before her family photography session at Coon Bluff in Mesa, Arizona.
One thing that I learned while doing family photos this past Fall is that I'm obsessed with open, clean spaces, especially the deserts in Mesa, Arizona. I did several larger family shoots and having an open space with minimal distractions helped to really focus in on the family.
A few months ago, I had the opportunity to collaborate with a local Mesa videographer and asked my friends if they would like a free mini family photography session that we could video!
I'm not the only one obsessed with this Downtown Gilbert location - during family photo season here in Arizona, almost half of my families chose this spot!
