Ahwatukee, Arizona Extended Family Photography

The Location: Ahwatukee

This photo session in the Phoenix mountains was just about as perfect as they come!  I love shooting sessions using the natural landscapes of Arizona.  This spot is one of my favorites that offers gorgeous mountain views as well as the rocky desert terrain.  I am here often, both photographing and hiking, and always find new hidden areas that make for great photos!

The Style

I am often asked by clients what they should wear for their family photos.  This family had it down with a great example of a classic look.  Using neutral colors, this family has texture, various tones and patterns in their clothing.  Theses classic colors pair well with a desert setting.  The use of grays, creams and blues add variety to their style and make them pop from just simple back and white. However, I do love color and if you look through my portfolio, you will find many examples of bright, bold colors.  Because of this, it was fun to photograph one family member wearing  eye catching complimentary colors!  I love the blues and orange plaid in the photo above.

The Photos

Throughout this session I was able to get in a variety of shots.  I definitely was able to capture the entire family with some classic, smiling images.  We also captured some gorgeous couple shots. This family was so much fun, I was able to get in a few  playful images too.  I love the beauty and variety here. These ones are just a few of my favorites from this perfect extended family photo session.

I’d love to work with you too!  If you are looking to schedule a family, child or senior portrait session email me today!  We can discuss locations like this one or many others that I know of around the Phoenix area.
