This ADORABLE family contacted me last fall because they wanted family portraits for Christmas cards, and we had such a great time together! These sisters were just the cutest, most gorgeous girls and each was very unique. I love how their mom dressed them each according to their own personality, but they went together so well.
Their dad was so funny with them and did a great job of keeping them in happy moods for these photos.
You can tell they are genuinely happy, right? Being an Arizona family photographer is so much easier when the kids are happy. 🙂

I love it when parents are relaxed for their family pictures. Or at least they keep their stress hidden from the kids and just make it a good experience. It can be so hard sometimes; I know that from my own family portrait sessions. But it really does make a difference in how the kids act during the whole thing.
I am so glad to have met this beautiful family! One thing I loved about having a Fall full of family sessions was meeting so many awesome people.
Here are a couple more of my favorites from this family photo session. The Mesa Arts Center is one of my favorite photo spots. As an Arizona family photographer I am always on the lookout for great locations for photos. If you know of any great spots in AZ, leave a comment and let me know!
