This gorgeous family melted my heart when they came into town a second time from Texas a year later, and chose me again for their family photos. I love my out-of-town clients. And it warms my heart even more when they choose me year after year for their family photos, even when they live out of state. It’s always so cool to see the story of a family continue. And this time, little man was growing like a weed.
Last time we did the golden desert for their session, with all the warm tones Arizona is known for. But this time, we got a completely different, yet adventurous look by the river. I absolutely love the Salt River this time of year. Anytime after Monsoon season in Arizona, it can really surprise people with how much lush greenery we get near the water. The water is higher which does cause us to scoot inward some, but honestly every corner of this location is beautiful regardless. The cliffs glow as the sun sets behind them, and it feels like Arizona is showing off just for us.
One of my favorite part about families coming back to me year after year, is how comfortable the kids get with me. I’m actually surprised sometimes in that even the younger ones will recognize me again and still remember the fun we have together. It’s always a lot more relaxed, as the kids know me, the parents already trust me, and it feels less like “just photos” and more like catching up with friends. Being chosen again from this out-of-town family and documenting this moment in time right here, is absolutely an honor. And I love to work with people like this that absolutely trust me.
