What a great looking group! 

So the mama being photographed loves this time of year in Northern Phoenix with all the beautiful weather and blooming flowers.  After I photographed her lovely High School Senior daughter, she saw the flowers in her Senior Photos she wanted family portraits done also!  It was perfect timing as the oldest is going off to college in the fall.  

Put kids together and they make each other laugh. I had these kiddos walk toward me while looking at each other and they just couldn’t keep a straight face!

I have little games I play with kids so that they are comfortable, and I can get some real expressions from them while I am behind the camera.  I know it is awkward having your photo taken sometimes, but I have found little things over the years that help!

This little guy is such a joy! He is social and bright and sweet. He’s about a year old and we did a mini-Easter setup with him. We sat him down and he wasn’t sure about it all. Then I gave him a carrot to hold, because little people like holding things, and then he was okay with it all. I love that mom brought his basket and it went with everything beautifully!
