Children’s Photography at Scorpion Gulch

The Session

This children’s session took place at the beginning of December at sunrise.  Sunrise is a perfect time for photo sessions as the light is very flattering. However, this particular winter morning was a bit chilly (even for Arizona!).  I think most people forget that even in the Phoenix desert in does get cold!  No worries, because these three were prepared with some winter gear and accessories that kept them warm and were pretty stylish for the photos!  (On a side note, at 50 degrees it seemed cold, but no where near the -50 degree weather I grew up in in Michigan…brrrr!)

The Location

Scorpion Gulch in Phoenix, Arizona is right in the central part of the city.  An old trading post, this spot is very cool for photos because if the texture in the old stone building and the open desert surrounding them.  Scorpion Gulch is also a great spot for photos because South Mountain is right there serving as a backdrop in the distance.  Take a look at some other sessions at Scorpion Gulch here and here.

The Wardrobe

As I already mentioned earlier the winter hats and gloves added a fun style to the wardrobe of these three.  Added accessories always look great in photos. Take a look at what you could add to your outfit choices-maybe a necklace, bowtie, flowers? It’s all about detail and those little things will add to your photograph.  Check out some of these sessions where accessories where added to make the wardrobe choice that much more interesting!
