Phoenix Area Family Photography

The Location

This family photo session was taken in beautiful Ahwatukee on two different hiking paths near South Mountain.  This spot offers beautiful mountain views, cactus and gorgeous sunsets.  While the “hiking” part is really minimal, these locations do require a very mild amount of walking to get to a few of the great spots!  See more family sessions from this Ahwatukee mountain location right here.  Or check out  here to see another great Ahwatuke spot.

What To Wear

What you select to wear for your family portraits really plays an important part in how your picture swill look.  Here is a great resource when you are planning out your wardrobe.  This family showcases a great example of what you could wear on your family photo shoot.  Notice that they are wear blue, but not all the same exact color.  There are different shades of blue throughout the outfits as well as different textures and patterns.  The accessories in the girls’ hair is also great detail!

Time of Day

This beautifully lit family photo session was taken about an hour before sunset.  Especially with desert locations, choosing the right time to start your session is very important.  This allows for those beautiful desert sunsets to be captured int he background of your family photos, but it also provides the most flattering light.  Not all Phoenix locations require a start time of near sunset and  i can go over a few choices with you as we schedule your family session.

Ahwatukee is a favorite spot of mine, so if you would like to schedule your family photo session here, contact me today! If you’d like more options, I know beautiful spots all over the Phoenix Valley and together, we can choose the location that is right for you!  emily@cozyclicsk.com
