Information about Prickly Pear Hill

• Nearest Town: Payson, AZ
  • While I do love sharing locations with everyone, there are a few I have worked hard to find and keep “secret” for my own clients. This exact location is one I only give out to paying clients. Want a session here? Shoot me a message!
  • The location is easily accessible by all car types.
• Best time of day: 2 hours before sunset. Earlier in the day can work, but we may not be able to get the mountain views in the background.
• This location is great in all seasons. Late spring/early summer (May or June depending on the year)the area my have Prickly Pear cactus blossoms. Septemberish there will be ripe magenta prickly pear fruit. Winter and early spring can yield snow capped peaks in the background.
• Great for couple’s sessions or family sessions.
• We can shoot on the hill for the views and with the juniper trees as well as at the base of the hill with more cacti and mesquite.
