Family with Pets | Lake Pleasant, Peoria

This session was a tremendous success! I love that we included their dogs; they really made the pictures feel complete with their furry friends by their side. 

Mom did an amazing job coordinating outfits so that everyone looked cohesive. The use of layers, like sweaters and accessories, added a lot to the images. Each person showcased their unique style with individual outfit details while being united by similar colors and tones.


Family with 3 Boys | Lake Pleasant, Peoria

We had a family photo session by the lake, and it provided such a beautiful backdrop! Mom wanted a more casual setting where the boys could explore, and explore they did. The oldest was climbing up and down the boulders, the middle one was collecting small rocks, and the youngest kept referring to the lake as a “pool”! It melted my heart to see how much he loved playing in the water! 

Here are some kind words from this happy mama! 

 “I absolutely loved working with Julie! She was so kind and really listened to my ideas for our family photo session. She was patient and encouraging with my three energetic boys. Julie also provided valuable insights on selecting images to print and creative ways to display them in our home. Thank you, Julie!” - N.S.

Lake Pleasant with Baby | Peoria, AZ

Lake Pleasant has quickly become my favorite spot for photography! The stunning hills, rocky landscapes, and beautiful water create dreamy backgrounds for my photos. 

During our visit, the weather was warm, so we decided to go without shoes. Mom mentioned that Baby is much happier in lighter clothing, too! 

What you wear is important for a photoshoot. We chose to go with white and tan outfits. Mom wore a lovely dress from Lulus.com, which I have available for you to borrow for your next photoshoot. I also have an adorable little diaper cover!

While we’re out photographing, we often spot some burros. I say “we” because my husband joins me as my lighting assistant—good lighting really makes a difference in how bright and clear the faces look, which simplifies my editing process.

Lake Pleasant is just a 25-minute drive from Anthem, and it’s definitely worth the little excursion!
