Downtown Phoenix Family Photographer {Gregory Family}

Even though we are surrounded by natural beauty in Arizona I always love a urban photo session. Clean lines, interesting texture and well manicured landscaping adds some interest to this downtown Phoenix family session.

Family photo shoots are fun when you get to run & play! These cutie brothers had fun climbing stairs and running down the sidewalk all while I captured some cute moments! It’s always a pleasure meeting up with the Gregory family and I appreciate their willingness and want to try something new!

Behind the gates of Forest Highlands lies a beautiful golf community with epic mountain views. Summer at Forest Highlands is focused around golf, tennis and great food & wine! The big summer kick off event is the Taste of Forest Highlands. Forest Highlands describes this event, “ Taste is the premier wine and food event of the season that will showcase our incredible hospitality and culinary talents. The Taste of Forest Highlands will feature over 100 different wines to sample and purchase. The culinary team will be creating an assortment of extravagant chef-driven food stations. Don’t miss this opportunity to stock your wine cellar for the summer and experience all that our culinary team can deliver. “

Kim of Kim Duncan Design always finds a way to out do herself on event design and decor. The 2019 Taste event decor included a circus tent, bright whimsical floral, eclectic furniture and live entertainment from Arial artists. The Taste was the perfect summer food and wine event!

Allison and Tim {Flagstaff Engagement Photography}

Love together, laugh together, live life together – that is what marriage is all about. After spending time with Allison and Tim I felt that they have figured those aspects out. During their Flagstaff engagement session they were so comfortable and loving with each other, naturals at showing their love to the camera. We started Allison and Tim's session at Aspen Corner, utilizing the snow and gorgeous aspen trees. The snow ended up being a little deeper than we anticipated but Allison and Tim made it through giggling and holding hands. We ended their engagement shoot at the base of the beautiful San Francisco Peaks. This couples love, the big clouds and snow capped mountains made for a perfect evening! Congratulations to Allison & Tim!

The Gregory Family {Phoenix Family Photographer}

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of catching up with the Gregory Family. Last year I captured their family portraits at scenic Papago Park so we decided to mix it up and do something more urban. We met at the Central Avenue Corridor and played around the cityscape of Central Phoenix. With two young boys there was plenty of spaces to climb and run free, occasionally stopping to take photos of the Gregory’s all together. I love being a family portrait photographer, I feel like I get to share in something special every time I have a photo session. Can’t wait to see how much the boys change again this year! ~Kristen

The Raub Family {Flagstaff Portrait Photographer}

Good Morning! Meet the Raub Family! This sweet family just relocated to our awesome mountain town of Flagstaff. Having just moved we wanted to utilize our beautiful fall landscape for their backdrop. I loved getting to know Becca & Wes and figuring out how to make little Maddie smile.

The Garvey Family {Scottsdale Family Photographer}

I love working with the Garvey family! They are fun, easygoing and always dressed perfectly! This year we decided to meet at the Camelback Inn in Scottsdale for their holiday family photo session. The grounds are spectacular! They have a beautiful variety of cactus, palm trees and bougainvillea. As we walked the beautiful property we played, we laughed, we cried & took some cute photos. Overall a successful family photo session!
